First-Line Friday #55-Among the Innocent

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? I am planning to take it easy, still trying to recover from vacation. This is the first year in I can't remember when that we don't have plans for the 4th of July.

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 Among the Innocent by Mary Alford.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Deception

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 Deception by Patricia Bradley. It is the fourth book in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series and is set to release on August 1, 2022.

Top Ten Tuesday-Next 10 reads

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books on my summer 2022 to-read list. I have already done a post like this when I signed up to read 20 books for summer. So, today I will be doing my next 10 reads in order that I need to read them. This helps me because I have a few deadline books and needed to do this anyway 😂 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.

Stacking the Shelf #29, Sunday Post #26, Sunday Salon #21

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? I am doing well, writing this week from Wisconsin. Today is our last day here and we will be attending a wedding this afternoon and will start the trek home tonight, tomorrow evening we will spend the night in KY and arrive home (NC) sometime Monday evening. We have gone through/visited 8 states (started NC, TN, KY, OH, IN, IL, MN, WI) and had a blast seeing a lot of cool things...hope to do that update soonish!

Find Your People

Title: Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

Author: Jennie Allen

Genre: Self-help, Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living

Publisher: Waterbrook

Source: Library/Own

My review:

I will start by saying while this is Christian nonfiction, it is not preachy. Jennie's answers aren't "find God" or "go to Church" or anything like that. This book is helpful for anyone who is lonely, whether spiritual/Christian or not.
