Happy 2022 ya all! I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and are ready to roll into this new year with good thoughts, intentions, and of course – good reads.
I updated the First Book post this morning to add in the pics that came in yesterday. Check it out – the list is a good one and I picked up a few new reads for myself as well.
In my pic, I have my Bookish Secret Santa gift that I am so excited about! This is Author Wendy Webb’s latest book, The Keepers of Metsan Valo. I love Wendy. She is a Minnesota Author and I have hung out with her several times (a couple of those times at Wine and Words!). Wendy writes fantastic Gothic Suspense books and I believe I have read everything she has written.
This book, along with a few others I will be chatting with you about over the next few days, will be going with me to Florida later this week when I get a little sun time for 10 glorious days. I love that our vacation is so early this year – for one… 2021 was a HARD work year with many weeks working 70 to 80+- hours a week as an Event Coordinator and I can really use the reset. Secondly, starting a new year with time to actually read always inspires me to get back into the routine of blogging here and sharing all the things – which I miss doing, however, time does not always allow.
Perhaps… this is the year.
Is this time of year a good time for you to read? Is there a season where you tend to read more?
Check out Wendy Webb here!

Enjoy your books and your holiday! And thanks again for hosting the wonderful First Book of the Year event!
Enjoy your vacation in the sun. I tend to read more in the warmer months, as other responsibilities slow down.
I never know what my first book will be so I can never participate, but as it turned out, my first book ended up being one that I loved to pieces, and that’s perfect!
Hope you have a great vacation!
Sadly, it’s been several years since I’ve had the time to read much fiction, and it’s felt so empty in that way, but a few months ago I finally figured out how to again be able to hold a book (without pain) while lying in bed, and since I’m trying to do sauna treatment more regularly, I’m reading in there too! LOVE being back to it!!! Feels SO much better 😀
