So what is First Book? First Book is the first book you plan on reading in the New Year. It can be a long-coveted read you have not had time for, a guilty pleasure read like a re-read of a favorite… really it can be anything – it is, after all, YOUR First Book.
Make it AWESOME.
This year, I will read as my First Book of the Year...
Take a look at other First Books here and below:
My #OneWord for 2022? For the last three New Year's Days, I've stuck with the same word, Play. It reminded me to be in the moment, to be spontaneous, to enjoy my life, to draw upon the spirit of love and joy that abides within us at all times. Play.
But this year, I'm choosing a new One Word. Love. It will encourage me to engage Love as my default reaction to all situations. Love. My One Word.
Love is a fabulous one word. I tend to pick words then totally forget about them so I'm skipping it this year. I did pick a first book though: The Sweetness of Water
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your selection, I was motivated to binge the movies after you mentioning the readathon.
ReplyDeleteNarnia and Love are awesome choices. My first book is: Swimming Back to Trout River .... Cheers. And the hope of a new year feels good.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Love, a perfect word to embrace. We would all need to show more love and grace to others!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your first book, such a great one.
Are you reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for the Narniathon21 hosted by Calmgrove? I just discovered her “challenge”, and am beginning Prince Caspian for January. Such lovely books…
ReplyDeleteMy One Word was discovered through a quiz on DaySpring, in which it was revealed to be Beloved. How important it is to remember, in times of self doubt, that we are loved and accepted by Him.
Happy New Year!
I seem to remember reading that to my Kids. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteMy first book is This Beautiful Truth by Sarah Clarkson, and my word is attitude, as in i need to watch mine.
ReplyDeleteLove is a word we need these days, so a very good choice. Your first book of the year is also a very good choice. Wonderful book and we need a little bit of magic now.
ReplyDeleteGreat book to start the year. And good word as well. Mine is two - Small Wins.
ReplyDeleteI've never read Chronicles of Narnia. I'm not sure why, but it just never sounded like something I would like. My One Word last year was Joy and this year is Pray. Happy reading in 2022!
ReplyDeleteI think I've only read the first in the Narnia series. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the entire collection.
ReplyDeleteMy first book of 2022 is Taste by Stanley Tucci. I'm loving it, so far! The first recipe I marked it for a Negroni, which sounds delicious.
I missed this post. We definitely need Love. All the time.
