Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. A new book from Lynn Austin is always something to look forward to, and the plot of her latest release, If I Were You has me all kinds of intrigued. It released last Tuesday, so it’s hot off the press, and I can’t wait to dive in! Any of my readers out there Lynn Austin fans?

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! Today’s official topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Books I’d Slay a Lion to Get Early. Putting aside for the moment the fact that I get books early all the time, (perks of book blogging, people!) let’s be real here: If I attempt to slay a lion, chances are I’m not going to survive in order to read these books I’m desperate to get my hands on.
Happy Tuesday, reader friends. We seem to be having a spate of difficult Top Ten Tuesday topics lately, and this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is no different: Books I Loved But Will Never Reread. The problem is, I love re-reading my favourite books. If I loved it, there’s no way I could definitively say, “but I won’t ever read it again.” However…
Well, it’s the end of the first week of 2018, and it’s also the final post for my Best of 2017 series, The Emoji Files. I hope I’ve been able to remind you of some of your own favourites from 2017, as well as perhaps add to your 2018 TBR! 😉 Today’s post is going to list those books that transported me to another time and/or place. These were immersive reads that made me forget the here and now and took me to places as diverse as Ancient Israel, World War I England, and a modern-day Californian vineyard. Not only
Happy Tuesday everyone! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is an interesting one: Characters Who Would Make Great Leaders. I don’t know about you, but there are certain types of people or roles that naturally come to mind with the word ‘leader’. I think of presidents and prime ministers, I get a movie reel of Ronie Kendig‘s characters running across my mind’s eye. (I’ll just pause and let you enjoy that for a moment 😉 )
~ About the Book ~ The Adventure of a Lifetime for Two Indomitable Socialite Sisters In the city of Chicago in 1892, the rules for Victorian women are strict, their roles limited. But sisters Rebecca and Flora Hawes are not typical Victorian ladies. Their love of adventure and their desire to use their God-given talents has brought them to the Sinai Desert–and into a sandstorm. Accompanied by Soren Petersen, their somber young butler, and Kate Rafferty, a street urchin who is learning to be their ladies’ maid, the two women are on a quest to find an important biblical manuscript.
Welcome to the first week of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books! More about that at the end. First, I’ve just started on Lynn Austin’s new release, Where We Belong, so I’m looking forward to a good read this weekend!
