What debut books are you anticipating reading this year? All that Fills Us by Autumn Lytle is one at the top of my list.
About the Book
Mel Ellis knows that her eating disorder is ruining her life. Everyone tells her rehab is her best option, but she can’t bring herself to go. Broken and empty in more ways than one, Mel makes one last-ditch effort to make hers a story worth telling. She will walk her own road to recovery along the lesser-known trails of the North American wilderness.
Though she is physically and mentally unprepared to face the difficulties that lay ahead, she sets off on foot from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and heads toward Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State. During the long journey, she meets strangers with their own stories, as well as ghosts from her past who can no longer be ignored. But though the land she travels threatens her success at every turn, it’s her own dark thoughts she’ll have to overcome in order to find peace in the life and the body she has been given.
With pitch-perfect timing and delightfully witty self-awareness, debut author Autumn Lytle masterfully leads readers on a journey down the hard path toward healing.

I’m currently reading Potiphar’s Wife by Mesu Andrews.
“Potiphar escaped his chamber with the relief of a prisoner on the run.”
I hope you have an excellent weekend filled with fun reading time. ❤
My first line this week is from When The Meadow Blooms by Ann Gabhart:
February 27, 1925
“You will never be completely well. Tuberculosis leaves it’s mark on your lungs.”
This sounds like a deep read! I hope you enjoy it!
Wow, sounds like an intense read. I just started At Love’s Bidding by Regina Jennings and the first line is: “Behind the massive marble building where even in May the crisp sea air never chased away the odors ground unto the cobblestone, the newsboys and shoe-shinners gathered, waiting in her.”
On my blog is the first line is from To Tame a Cowboy by Jody Hedlund. https://daniellegrandinetti.com/2022/05/13/to-tame-a-cowboy/
I hope you have a great weekend!
