The last of these posts in 2013! I am enjoying a wonderful winter break with my family and friends, and I hope all of you are as well. I also received some fun books for Christmas!
I haven't been posting much, but that changes this week. But, after this week, everything changes again. Work starts, and so do my classes! I can't believe I am submitting myself through college again! I am nervous but excited! I don't know how much time I will have available to read and blog, but hopefully I can manage at least one a week.
Read Last Week(s):
City of Thieves by David Benioff: I could kick myself for not reading this sooner. Amazing, one of the best books I have read this year! Review this week.
Christmas Bliss by Mary Kay Andrews: I love this series!
Rant by Chuck Palahniuk: Weird. Weird. I don't get it. We read this for book club. I probably won't review it, just discuss it in my book club post. Mainly because it was strange and I really didn't understand.
A Christmas Promise by Anne Perry: Meh, this was ok. Not great.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis: I loved this! It was another book that it was about time that I read.
Reading This Week:
Free Spirit by Joshua Safran: I am staring this on New Year's Day, as my first book of the year! It seems like a good one to kick the year off with.
The $64 Tomato by William Alexander: I am feeling very memoir this week.
Waking the Dead by Heather Graham: For balance.
The few posts I managed to put up:
So many big changes coming your way with college! I still remember my journey through as an adult (last year). I look forward to hearing about your college adventures as well as any books that you are able to finish.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be so different from my first degree, when I was young without responsibilities! I am freaking out as of right now! Lol. Thanks Belle. :)
DeleteCity of Thieves sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI wish you much success through these upcoming changes! I had to put blogging to the way side when I returned to working full time plus finishing my degree. I blogged sporadically but not as much as I do now but then I was also in a different mindset but... can't wait to read your updates! Good luck to you! Very exciting!
Thanks Jaime! I am freaking out thinking about getting this degree. It is a writing degree, so I will be a busy girl. I am hoping I have a little time for blogging, I think I may need the escape. We will see!
DeleteCity of Thieves was outstanding!
Have to say it... curious about the tomato book. :)
ReplyDeleteLol! My mom bought me one of those page a day calendars - mine is book themed. One of the pages was about that book! It just sounded interesting, and up my alley. :)
DeleteBest of luck as you go back to college. I just started Christmas Bliss, love the characters too. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nise! Christmas Bliss was so good, I really enjoyed Bebe's story in it. Happy New Year!
DeleteLots of Christmas reading I note. The Mary Kay Andrews one I would love to read.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a big time seasonal reader. And I love Christmas books. they are so happy usually! Christmas Bliss was really fun!
DeleteNice assortment of books. Good luck back at college. I hope you do still find a chance to read and blog for fun. Come see my Monday Report here. Happy reading and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy! I hope so as well.
DeleteLove the cover of Christmas Bliss. Will check out your Fav list.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover too! So vintage. :)
DeleteHow exciting that class is starting up! So exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is! But it is scary too! Lol.
DeleteCollege! That's great. That probably means less blogging and reading, but a wonderful opportunity to get another degree. I've started a business last summer and I really had to cut down on the blogging. If my business wasn't book-related (editing) I'd probably give up blogging about books (or almost give it up).
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week and a great New Year's celebration.
I am hoping to be able to get an editing type job with this new degree - Professional Writing. How awesome that you have your own editing business!
DeleteThanks!
Oh, C.S. Lewis just never gets old. Love all of the Narnia books! Good luck with your classes! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed my first foray into Narnia! What a great story. And thanks!
DeleteIsn't it nice to get a favorite read in right at the end of the year? Happy a wonderful new year!!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to read City of Thieves forever! I really need to make time for it in 2014 -- glad to hear you enjoyed it so much! I just read the Narnia books for the first time this past year -- such fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa
The Narnia books are always fun. Going back to college is exciting, good for you. Hope you enjoy your winter break and have a happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI liked City of Thieves. Haven't read any of the other books you have here.
ReplyDeleteYou had a great week. Best of luck at work and school. :)
Have a wonderful week.
Happy New Year.
