It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - Jan 13

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.    

Welcome back to Monday! Missed posting last week because my schedule was crazy. Listing photos for my upcoming listing, a listing consultation, showings, meetings, and then we left Friday for Wilmington. Drove through a bit of snow on Friday night, but we made it there safely. We flew home yesterday, and a more regular schedule is taking over now we are beyond the holidays. 

Anyone other than me still have their Christmas decorations up? Since they went up so late this year, I didn't want to take them down right away. But I am in the mood for something a little different now. Not sure what I will do. Working on making life simpler, I'm hoping to go through some of the old stuff before I pack the decorations away. 

Breakfast at First Watch

Despite the cold weather, the pool fountain was running

Blueberry ricotta waffles at Blueberry's Grill

Saw this in the Lil' Princess' kitchen

(not sure which of the girls bought it--she lives with three others--but loved it right away)

Came home to a dusting of snow

In my reading world, I took two books with me to Wilmington, but I only ended up reading on the plane ride home. 

Loved everything about this devotional. Look for my review soon.

I am finished this audiobook I bought on Chirp. Hope to have my review posted soon. 

I've been reading this one. It's good. Find it interesting that there are so many points of view. 

I also started this one. 

I finished this book from one of my favorite authors. Also own the second book that continues her story after marrying Hap. Need to read that as well. 

I had downloaded this one from NetGalley this fall, but had issues with my shelf. Finally, have access to it and started this one.

These two are next.

Upcoming events:

• Review of Ghosting Academy by LS Delorme - Feb 3 (Review)

You can read the latest Christmas news at the Christmas Year Round blog. This week, I shared my last Christmas... in the news segment of the season. It is about the Castle Noel event for Hurricane Helene survivors, the next journey for this year's Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, and a special Christmas treat for elephants at the Berlin Zoo. You can find my post here.

That's about it from me. Lots going on this week. Still plan to share my bookish goals for Top Ten Tuesday tomorrow. Looking forward to checking in at your blogs today. Enjoy your week!
