It's Monday! What Are You Reading? December 10, 2018

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!

Well, finals are this week at school. Where has the semester gone? The students will soon be gone and campus will be quiet. Time to regroup for the next semester, I guess. 

I had to work on Saturday, which I only have to do twice a semester. When I got home, I discovered our 4½ year old grandson was there for an unexpected sleepover. I had invited our 10 year old granddaughter to come over on Sunday to bake cookies but when she found out we already had company for Saturday night, she asked if she could come over too. Well, how can we say no to that? 

We did bake a little bit, but not near as much as I had hoped to, but we made plenty of good memories. And that's what it's all about, right?

Thanksgiving is over and.... I ate too much. Time to get back to my healthier eating habits. The weather over the holiday weekend was beautiful—warm and sunny. We need to enjoy it because you know it's not going to last.

This week is Thanksgiving for those of us in the United States. That means family, food, and football in my house. I'm really looking forward to it. 

I've gotten a lot of reading and listening dome lately and I'm loving it. I need to take a step back for a bit and get some reviews posted but there are so many good books out there that I want to read. And then, it'll be time to prepare for the Christmas holiday. It's coming up soooo fast!

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

Well, it appears that winter has decided to stay. The temps are staying cold and we have at least a few flurries every day. Sometimes it amounts to something, sometimes not. I do have to admit though, it is pretty. 

Next week is Thanksgiving. We will be hosting with only 2 of our 4 kids coming over this year. So there could be up 7 to 12 for dinner. That's do-able. Time to start planning the menu, although that's usually the same every year. It's more like making the grocery list. 

It's time to get out the Christmas stories. I found several audio-books by Caroline Mickelson that I have been devouring. There are light, fun, and easy to listen to while washing the dishes or preparing dinner. I'm loving it. How about you, do you enjoy Christmas stories? 

Speaking of audio-books, I am also listening to This I Know by Eldonna Edwards. Oh my gosh, I fell in love with the narrator and the story from the very first sentence. Do you listen to audio-books? What are you favorites?

 

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