I'm participating in Sheila's First Book of the Year! I first met Sheila when I started to blog in 2012, my first FULL year of retirement. I knew I wanted to read more, and so I looked for book bloggers. I spent many enjoyable years in the "reader community". Then I was "bitten by the quilting bug", to quote Kathyrn of Kathyrn Quilts . This the 6th year that I have participated in First Book, hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. I haven't always made a blog post, but I have sent my book title and photo to Sheila and she posted it on her blog. It's been fun to see what others are reading. I enjoy that information shared on quilting blogs too. I 've gotten lots of good recommendations from Diann at Little Penguin Quilts, from LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color, from Linda at Flourishing Palms, and lots of others. Kathyrn from Kathyrn Quilts had a book blog called Book Date. Check it out!
My first book in 2016 was:
I posted about it here in late 2015! What thrilled me when I looked up the old post....was that this is my first book for 2023.
You look so pretty in that checked shirt! First Book of the Year is such a good idea - I might have to participate next year!
ReplyDeleteJudy she does write great books and I loved this one. Always she manages to touch the heart. Agree with Linda, that checked shirt is so pretty. Thanks for the shout out to my blog too. Happy New year.
ReplyDeleteParticipating in the First Book event was fun! All those readers - and books to put on my to-be-read list, too. Catherine Ryan Hyde has turned into one of my favorite authors - both of those books you showed have been good ones. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I look forward to your review.
