This is the seventh year of First Book of the Year for Sheila at Book Journey.
What is First Book? Sheila encourages everyone to pick a book to start out 2019.
The First Book of the Year should be:
A. A coveted book that you have wanted to read but have just not found the time.
A. A coveted book that you have wanted to read but have just not found the time.
B. A delicious favorite… one you have read before, but crave to read again.
C. Really whatever you want it to – it is after all YOUR First Book Of the Year.
What am I reading on the first day of 2019?
My first book of 2020 is Kindness and Wonder: Why Mister Rogers Matters Now More Than Ever by Gavin Edwards.
What will be your first book of the year?

ReplyDeleteHi, Deb. You asked what I plan to read this year, and I answered by writing a whole blog post.

Excellent choice! Happy New Year, Deb!
ReplyDeleteAlso very...you. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't read a lot of NF but this one is on my TBR list. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! (and a great pic as well). My first book is American Dirt - it's addictive early on.
ReplyDeleteOnce I finish my current read (The River by Peter Heller), I plan to read One Plane in the Sky.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I bet that's a great book! It should be a wonderful way to read in the new year. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful looking books for the CYBILS finalists in your category. I am really excited to start reading my finalists. My first book of the year was The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys and it did not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book for the first day of 2020! Hope you enjoy it immensely!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! It's on my list to read soon.
ReplyDeleteA good book to start the new year! Mine's a mystery! Happy reading 2020.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful choice for a first book of the year! We should all try to embody Mr. Roger's philosophies. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Deb! That's a wonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this choice!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I also went for a non fiction (I presume it is). Little bit late, I know, but that is life. I did a blog post about it and you find it here: https://thecontentreader.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-first-book-of-year-2020.html
ReplyDeleteMy first book will be the guiding star for 2020; that is - non fiction... and some fiction as well!
