Hello, reader friends! I officially started Christmas shopping! Guess what I bought?! ? Hint: it wasn’t paisley tights (and if you’re wondering why I mentioned those, go here) And fortunately, I didn’t need to shop for any Wyoming Christmas quadruplets either!
Hope by the Book magazine is celebrating 1,000 instagram followers with a giveaway! Also, our designer has been busy laying out pages for the launch issue, y’all!!! We are so excited to get all that bookish goodness in your hands!
Wyoming Christmas Quadruplets by Jill Kemerer

“He’d tried to give them bottles fifteen minutes ago, but Ben had barely touched his, and Max hadn’t taken an ounce. The knocking on the front door persisted. “Belle!””
Y’all hop over to Hoarding Books for the first two lines and a greater appreciation for the exasperation in that last plea! This cover is just too adorable for words, don’t y’all think so?! Makes me want to go lend a hand to a mama (or papa) with babies. I enjoy Jill Kemerer’s storytelling style and I look forward to reading this book just as soon as I can squeeze it into my calendar.

Chills over that title and first line! LOL! Here’s a first line from Reason to Breathe by Deborah Raney — “A beam of late-afternoon sun canted through the mullioned windows of the breakfast room in her parents’ house — Dad’s house now — casting a checkered shadow across the tile.”
Have a great Friday!

Hi, Beth! Happy Friday.
I shared the first couple of lines from my current read, Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi. I have only started it today and am just on the second chapter, so I will share the first few lines from chapter 2 here instead.

The girl’s braid hasn’t fallen out in three days. Her hair is sunlight incarnate, and the strand weave together in a smooth and seamless pattern that leaves me sick with wonder. I wish I could speak to her. I wonder if her voice is rough or soft.
Hope you enjoy that. Happy weekend! 😀

Happy Friday! On my blog this week I shared the first line of Searching for You by Jody Hedlund but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (8) here: ” Sophie stretched and yawned, relishing the scent of bacon and coffee and something sweet.” I’m good for the bacon but I have to admit I don’t like coffee OR the smell of it (yes, I know I’m the odd-ball lol). Hope you have a great weekend!
