So what is First Book? First Book, hosted by Sheila of Book Journey, 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.
My First Book of the Year...
My #OneWord for 2025? For three New Year's Days, I 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 in 2022, I chose a new One Word. Love. It encouraged me to engage Love as my default reaction to all situations. Love. Love got me through several difficult situations in 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and 2025, so I'm keeping Love for 2026. My One Word. Love.
I haven’t yet decided on my first book for the year. It will probably be “The Nature Principle” by Richard Louv.
ReplyDeleteYou always choose the most interesting books, Deb! I’ve got a lot of books on my TBR list because of you. My first book start of the year is Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs.
ReplyDeleteYou give significance to so much in life, like which is. your first book and what is your key word for the year. I should follow your lead and do something like that, but I don’t
