Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading Belle An Amish Retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Sarah Price.

My review:
The cover of All the Lost Places is gorgeous, as I imagine Venice to be.
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Everything is Just Beginning by Erin Bartels. It releases January 17, 2023.
Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday is our favorite books from 2022. Not sure how I am supposed to narrow it down to 10, but will give it my best shot 😂 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
Well, this should be easy since I marked 56 of the books I read this year as favorites 😂😂 Here are my top 10ish (in no particular order):
Illinois Massachusetts Mississippi Nebraska Nevada Rhode Island Vermont Virginia West Virginia

My review:
Indie author Cleopatra Margot grabbed my attention with this beautiful cover. I have had With You I Am on my shelf for a year! I am glad I finally had time to dive in.
As I pause to reflect on the month of December, I am thankful I found more time to read than I did in November. I don't know what my reading life will look like in the new year since I am going to be getting a part-time job, but I hope to still have a decent amount of time for reading and blogging!
I finished 17 books in December and DNF 2. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.
5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
