First Line Friday #52- New Wine Transportation Company

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? Today is my husband's birthday and we are supposed to be headed to his parents lake house this evening. Tomorrow our youth will join us for a day on the lake. I am going to the doctor this morning and that will finalize my plans for the weekend 🙄

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 New Wine Transporation Company: A Springville Story by Heather Norman Smith.

My Review:

Top Ten Tuesday-I spy a reader's space

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is book is comfort reads. So, books have always been an escape for me. I don't really have a "comfort read" as all books are basically an escape. Not sure if that makes sense or not. After agonizing way more than I probably should have for today's post, I finally decided to share my main reading space. 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.
