Top Ten Tuesday-Authors I discovered in 2022

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is new-to-me authors I discovered in 2022.

So, I am curious how many I read as well πŸ˜€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.

The Happiness Dare

Title: The Happiness Dare: Pursuing Your Heart's Deepest, Holiest, and Most Vulnerable Desire

Author: Jennifer Dukes Lee

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Self-Help, Christian Living

Publisher: Tyndale Publishing House

My review:

Jennifer Dukes Lee is quickly becoming a Nonfiction author that I love. I happened upon The Happiness Dare: Pursuing Your Heart's Deepest, Holiest, and Most Vulnerable Desire at my library and grabbed it, not knowing a thing about it. I had only read one other book by Ms. Lee, and loved it.
