Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring this week is:
Baker Book House | Amazon | Goodreads
I have spent twenty years carefully stitching my family’s life together, so when it suddenly starts to unravel I find myself in a tangled knot of anxiety.
The Promised Land released earlier this month and I can’t wait to read my copy. It looks like it’s going to be an incredible read. Have you read it yet?
About the Book:
With her oldest son taking a gap year in Europe, her aging father losing his sight and his memory, and her husband of twenty years announcing that he’s leaving her, Abbie Bartholomew Jowett is surrounded by overwhelming loss.
Desperate to mend her marriage and herself, she follows her son, Bobby, to walk the famed Camino pilgrimage. During their journey they encounter Rasa, an Iranian woman working in secret helping other refugees, and Caroline, a journalist who is studying pilgrims on the Camino while searching for answers from her broken past.
Each individual has their own reasons for the pilgrimage, but together they learn that the Camino strips you bare and calls you into deep soul-searching that can threaten all your best laid plans.
Now it’s your turn!

A drop of beige paint landed on Lucie Decker’s arm. PERFECT. Now more paint dotter her and her overalls than remained in the can.

This is a possibility whenever I’m holding a paint brush too 😂
Happy Friday! My first line is from “When I’m with You” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Michael Reed’s text alert chirped, disturbing the light sleep he’d been drifting in and out of since his alarm had gone off earlier.”
I’m a compulsive snoozer too lol
I just started The Promised Land!
My first line is from HER SECRET SONG by Mary Connealy:
“March 1874. Hope Mountain
Near Bucksnort, Colorado near Grizzly Peak, Colorado
Wax Misley was living a life that was going to kill him.”
Hope you enjoy it!
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I am sharing the first line of Rocky Mountain Revelation by Lisa J. Flickinger
“A sharp squeal pierced the air, followed by a dull thud.”

Happy Weekend!!
Uh oh, wonder what the sound was!
Happy Friday! 😀
On my blog, I’m sharing from Forgiven Again by Gina Holder. I’m currently reading The Gentleman and the Thief by Sarah M. Even, so I’ll share the first line from there.
“Hollis Darby learned two things at the knee of his not-so-dear, long-departed, low-life, scoundrel of a father: how to gamble beyond what was advisable and how to be an utter disappointment to his family.”
I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
Sounds like it’s one that might be an emotional read. Hope you like it!
