Y’all, we are SO excited about the new home of First Line Fridays! Woohoo! We have all kinds of fun ideas for FLF and more bookish shenanigans down the road.
I have to confess, I am totally thankful that it is officially autumn! Summers are fine but wowza! My summer was crazy busy, the busiest since my little ones were babies. Actually, in some ways, it still feels like summer because I’m still catching up on some summer tbr books.
I just realized that autumn is even more fabulous this year because I can take my Kindle Paperwhite
Speaking of Kindle, I’m trying out the Kindle Unlimited program for a couple of months and you can join me if you qualify for your own 30-day free trial of KU. Let me know if you decide to give it a try as well or if you are already using KU!
If y’all have any questions about Kindle Unlimited, I’ll do my best to answer them when I post a review of the program!

I love the Gwen Marcey series. Although I haven’t read the latest one yet. Another one to add to the TBR pile!
I’m featuring the first line from Melissa Tagg’s “All This Time” on my blog this week. I can’t believe the Walker Family series is finished! ???? But here, I’m going to share the first line from Chapter 1 of Toni Shiloh’s new release, Returning Home:

I tried Kindly Unlimited once, but I could never find any good books to “purchase.” However, it looks like they are adding a lot more Christian fiction to the list now, which is great. Maybe I will try it out again….let me know what you think. 🙂 Happy Friday!

This book was extra enjoyable for me. I went to college at the University of Idaho (30 miles north of Lewiston). In fact, at least once a month after Sunday evening services, a group of us would drive down that steep grade to hang out in Lewiston.
