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.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Everything is Just Beginning

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.

December Reading Wrap-up
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.
