I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Happy Monday

I finally got around to taking pictures of the jewelry I made.


The picture quality isn't the best, sorry.

Double strand necklace and bracelet plus double drop earrings. I've never done a double before but I love the earrings.

Here's a close-up.














Our vegetable garden is growing, ahem, like a weed ;-) I should have some pictures for you Saturday.

Next up: a review of Vengeance, moving my daughter (own apartment), getting ready for-and going to-a family reunion. Luckily I can read in the car so I'm hoping to get a couple of books read, maybe work on a blanket. I've completed a couple of challenges so I need to post about those and I've added some books to my wish list.

Hope everyone has plans for a great week.


Mailbox Monday is a place to share all the wonderful books that have come to live in your home– including paper books, e-books and audio books. Mailbox Monday was started by Marcia of The Printed Page. When Marcia was ready to move on from being the weekly host, she was kind enough to set up the Mailbox Monday Blog Tour. Check it out so you know where to go next month.

July's host is Gwendolyn at A Sea of Books (blog link, not post link).

Lovely jewelry! You are talented.

Your mailbox is great. A lot of great titles there.

Enjoy your trip. I hope you get some good car reading done. I'm going on a trip to Michigan in a couple of weeks...my 25 year class reunion! Ugh! So, I'll be doing a bit of car reading myself. Not sure yet what books I'm taking. Have a safe trip!

Looks like you got some good books. Lovely necklaces!

Your jewelry looks fabulous! I hope you enjoy all of your new books!

Gwendolyn B. said...

Oh, I like your jewelry! I dabble with beads myself. How do you choose between beading and reading?!

Whiskey Gulf is one I have on my shelf too and it has been there way too long! I need to get to it :)

Thanks everyone!

Gwendolyn: in this case, I'm wear the skirt on vacation and wanted jewelry that matched better than what I had

Sheila: The worse part is not that it's still on the to-be-reviewed shelf but that I've already read it!

Sheila (Bookjourney) said...

LOL - get that reviewed! :) Then I can read your review - get excited about the book... and pull it off the shelf! Hee hee
