First Line Friday #8- Love's Dwelling

 Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books!! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. This week I am sharing from Love's Dwelling by Kelly Irvin.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Rose Among Thornes

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. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This is my first week participating in Can't Wait Wednesday. Since I have about a million books that I am waiting on to read, I will choose one that is coming out soon...I am featuring Terrie Todd's upcoming release. I read and loved her book The Silver Suitcase!

Top Ten Tuesday-Reasons Why I Love Reading

 Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Today's topic is "Why I Love Reading." While I thought I was going to be creative and add books with this post, I simply do not have time today! My dog got neutered today and is very needy/clingy.

The Scarlet Pen

Title: The Scarlet Pen

Series: True Colors (each stand alone)

Author: Jennifer Uhlarik

Publisher: Barbour Publishing

Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, True Crime

My Review:

Not only did this book capture my attention from the first scene, but I also disliked Stephen Dee Richardson from that moment on! It made me wonder what Emma saw in him. Emma is sweet, caring, adores her siblings, and seems to be more in love with the idea of being in love, than actually in love with Stephen. She is also headstrong and impulsive, which gets her into trouble.

No-Add July

I love everything about books. The new book smell. The feel of the book in your hand. The new adventure each time you open a new book. The ability to store tons of books on the Kindle. The over-flowing bookshelves. Finding books at yard sales, used bookstores, pretty much anywhere, LOL. Telling people what you are reading. Writing reviews. Watching for new releases. Getting ARC's. Being asked to review books. Following favorite authors. Being organized on Goodreads. It all just brings me joy!

First Line Friday #7- The Scarlet Pen

Happy Friday! And Happy Fourth of July weekend.🎆🎇🧨 This week I am blessed to be posting from my sister's house in TN😀 What are you doing this weekend?

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books!! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. This week I am sharing from The Scarlet Pen by Jennifer Uhlarik. The Scarlet Pen is book #12 in the True Colors series.

The Amish Quiltmaker's Unruly In-Laws

 Title: The Amish Quiltmaker's Unruly In-Laws

Series: The Amish Quiltmaker #2

Author: Jennifer Beckstrand

Publisher: Zebra Books

Genre: Christian Fiction/Amish

My Review:

 While this is the second book in the series, it can also be read as a stand-alone. However, to understand a bit more about a few of the characters, it would be great to start with the first book.

Linda Eicher is not afraid to speak her mind and often comes across as rude and unfeeling. She is feisty, athletic, and does quite a few sports your typical Amish young lady would not do.

Top Ten Tuesday-Upcoming Releases 2021
