Reading My TBR Piles ~ January 2022 Edition #TBR

YIKES!!

Look familiar? This is sometimes how my TBR piles/shelves feel to me. I have decided to make a more concerted effort to whittle down my TBR books. These will be books that on not on my review stack, but books that I own. These could be print, e-book, or audio-books., just books that I have been wanting to read. So, on the first Wednesday of each month I'm going to post the books that I read the previous month with the goal to clear off my TBR shelves.

*****************

I didn't have many review books due in December and sort of took a break from blogging for part of the month. I was able to get in a lot of books that I just read for pleasure. It was a great month!

See any books here that on your own TBR pile?

E-books

Books #1-3 of the Hope Springs series.

Audio-books

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? ~ December 20, 2021 #IMWAYR

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

We are getting new carpeting on the stairway and two bedrooms upstairs on Tuesday. And you know when you have a spare bedroom, it becomes a junk room. So much stuff in there! Our kids came over this weekend to help us clear out the rooms and bring most everything downstairs. Hopefully, we'll think twice about whether we keep the stuff or not.

On Sunday, we took our 7yo grandson to see the Clifford the Big Red Dog movie. I'm so glad I have young kids in my life so I have an excuse to see all the fun movies!

I just about have all the wrapping done and will be making a few more batches of caramel corn before the weekend. Then I'm ready for some family time. I love this time of year!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week.

Happy reading!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? ~ December 13, 2021 #IMWAYR

**************************************

Well, winter has finally set in. We really have enjoyed unseasonably nice weather so far and the first part of December was so nice. On Friday a big snow storm hit with 9-10 inches of snow being dumped just south of us. We lucked out and got considerable less but this storm closed all of the surrounding schools. Thoughts and prayers go out to all who were in the path of the recent devastating tornados.

My daughter invited me over to her house on Sunday to sit with her while we watched my son-in-law and his daughter bake Christmas cookies. And yes, we did taste test some of the cookies, I guess you could say that we were the 'quality control'. 😉 It actually inspired me to come home and make some of my annual caramel corn. We'll see how long that inspiration lasts.

Is there something that you always make or bake at Christmas time and it just wouldn't be Christmas without it?

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week.

Happy reading!
