Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.
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.
Lots going on in my world. I announced on social media that I have switched real estate brokerages. I am grateful for the 9.5 years spent with my Real Living/BHHS Realty Pros family. I'm also excited to see what the future holds at HB Real Estate. I've been moving into my new office and making plans.
Bonus room clean up continues, and I've started meal planning on Sundays so I can be better prepared for the week's meals. This has allowed me to make a dessert once a week, like this flourless chocolate cake. I've gone back to time blocking--which I despise--and have added three days on the Peloton into my schedule. I enjoy being more organized, so hopefully the time blocking sticks.
In my reading world, you will find my review of this children's picture book today at TC&TBC.
My review of this book appeared here on Sunday.
A review of this book appeared here on Friday.
At Modern Prairie, our first book club choice is Little House in the Big Woods. I'm about halfway through it. I have a similar edition, but my copy was only $1.50 in the States and $1.70 in Canada. Yes, I'm that old.
On Audible, I am listening to this one and loving it.
I need to read these next.

At the Christmas Year Round blog last week
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.
The new brokerage has a Little Free Library, and people drop off books all the time. I grabbed these for now:
I enjoy history, even the tough parts.
That's it from me this week. I hope to be checking in with your blogs early in the day. Hope you enjoy your week.

Congrats on your new role!!
Congrats on the move!
I love those old Little House books
Good luck with the transition to a new real estate firm! Meal planning really does make things easier. We've fallen out of the habit here and need to get back into it. I haven't tried time blocking--or at least stuck to it, ever. I hope you find a routine that works best for you!
I have never read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I loved the television show growing up, but never got into the books nor did my daughter, although my mother-in-law had given us her copies of the series a few years ago. They were always her favorite.
I hope you have a great week, Cheryl, and enjoy your reading!
Good luck with the new job. I have been trying to be a little more organized this year too. I don't have as much to fit into my schedule as you do but even a little organization helps. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thanks, Marg! I'm excited.
Thanks, Greg. I miss reading them annually like I used to. This was a perfect way to get back to them.
Thanks, Literary Feline. Suppertime is such a hassle without having a plan. I've never stuck to time blocking either.
Thanks, Kathy. I feel like more organization will not only make me more productive, but help with work-life balance.
Thanks for visiting, everyone. I appreciate it.
