Top Ten Tuesday-Books I wish Santa would bring me

 Happy Tuesday friends and πŸŽ„ Merry Christmas πŸŽ„!!! Today's topic is books I wish πŸŽ…Santa πŸŽ… would bring me!  You can see all the details at That Artsy Reader Girl.  You are under no obligation to grant any wishes, however, it will be fun blog hopping to see other people's wish lists and maybe add some more books to my "want to read" list πŸ˜‚ We did our bookish wish lists in June and I was able to grant 3 wishes! I am not sure how many I will grant today!

2022 Literary Escapes Challenge

 Hello fellow bookish friends! 

I hope you all are doing well. I am back with yet another post about a book challenge I will be doing in 2022. I think all told, counting Goodreads, I will be doing 7 (which is probably a bit much for a newbie, but THANKFULLY books can be used for more than one challenge, which will be my saving grace!).

Top 20 of 2021 Sign-up Post

I was blog hopping today and came across a sign-up post for one final challenge/meme of 2021 and I thought "why not?" Several of the topics are ones that I wanted to do anyway, so why not join a challenge to encourage/motivate me to get the posts done. Although, I can already tell you I am not sticking to my top 10 new to me authors that I read in 2021. I will be featuring them all πŸ˜‚

First Line Friday #30-Behind Love's Wall

Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Meez Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! 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 Behind Love's Wall by Carrie Fancett Pagels. This is one of the books in the Doors to the Past series. They do not have to be read in order. Their common theme is that they are all dual-time line romantic suspense novels that are set against an American Landmark.
