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 a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in 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.
Here we are at the end of November. Has the year flown by as quickly for you as it has for me? I hope everyone who celebrated had a blessed Thanksgiving. Since I didn't have to cook this year, I enjoyed more down time than usual. I watched some Hallmark movies, decorated most of the house, made changes to my Laura's Little Houses blog, and did not show any properties. Every once in a while, you just need to take some time off from the day job.
I changed the blog background here this morning to make it more seasonal. Even though winter won't officially start until December 21, we had our first flurries over the weekend and may see more snow next week.
The Christmas shopping season has begun. Have you started yet? I made a good dent over the weekend and gave to our charities, but my wallet needs a break for a couple of weeks.
My virtual book tour for A Christmas Kindness is going well. It has received numerous wonderful reviews. The tour picks up again on December 1. You can find the tour schedule here if you want to follow along.
I decided to break off from my review duties and read something just for the fun of it. This author is part of my critique group, so I am familiar with the story. It is nice to read it in its finished form.
My review of this poetry collection will appear on December 6.
Next up are these.
Review coming January 26
I might read one of these next, but I am really into watching Hallmark movies right now. I also finished watching all of the Downton Abbey series and the first movie in preparation for the second movie coming out in the spring.
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
I recently received two books I am eager to read.
That's it from me this week. Hope you share what you're reading. Wishing you a wonderful week.

I've been enjoying the Hallmark movies. They are so much fun to watch. I've been wanting to read the Murder, She Wrote books. They look good. Have a great week!
Great to see you, Laurel. I enjoy following your home decorating and blog updates on Facebook and your blog.
Thanks for visiting today, Linda. Off to check out your blog.
Elizabeth, I love the title as well.
Beverley and Kathy, how nice to see you here. Yes, we all need some down time.
Glad you like the wallpaper, Mary.
Hallmark movies are my favorite, Yvonne. They have a Hallmark movie lover group on Facebook.

Lovely seasonal background. Yes, the year went by quickly.
I'm glad you got to read a book just for enjoying it.
I expect we'll be watching a lot of Hallmark when we get back home.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!
The Man Who Invented Christmas sounds really good!
I am ready for a break from reviews I have committed to, but haven't quite caught up. Every time I get close something happens to set me back again. If I had the hallmark channel I wouldn't get much reading done either, I would want to be watching ALL the movies :)
