First Lines Fridays (47) – May 6, 2022

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Snacks for Reading

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Top 5 Tuesday! The prompt for today is the top 5 snacks for reading. In general, I don’t really eat that much while I’m reading. The food tends to distract me from the book, and I’ll often end up sitting down and eating the entire snack before I even get back to reading. I’m also super picky about keeping my books in good condition. So, eating while reading a physical book is something I’m probably unlikely to do unless the snack doesn’t dirty my fingers. That being said, I do tend to snack some when reading on my Kindle or listening to an audiobook, especially audiobooks since it is easy to listen and munch without getting distracted.

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Books About a Birth

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Top 5 Tuesday! The prompt for today is the top 5 books about a birth. I struggled with this list a lot. I don’t really read a ton of books focused on a pregnancy/birth. So, it was pretty much impossible to make a list of books that focus specifically on that topic. Instead I’ve chosen five books I’ve read, or intend to read, that contain a pregnancy or birth in them. I’d love recommendations for books about a birth (fantasy or sci fi preferred) because I obviously don’t read enough of them. I’ll definitely be perusing others’ lists this week for recs, as well. 🙂 Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted at Meeghan Reads!

Top 5 Tuesday – Top 5 Anticipated Reads for Apr-Jun 2022

Hello everyone! Welcome back for another Top 5 Tuesday! It has been a month since I participated in this meme because I took a break from all the memes during March. I’ve missed this one a lot, though, and am excited to be participating again! It is always a lot of fun! The prompt for today is the top 5 anticipated reads for Apr-Jun 2022. It was so hard to narrow this list down to five! The upcoming quarter has so many great book releases I was honestly a little overwhelmed looking at them all. I did it, though, and here are the five I’m most anticipating. Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, and is now being hosted at Meeghan Reads!
