I started my new year as I ended it, FarmVille, hardly noticed when the day ticked over. lol School is starting tomorrow so back to work for me.
Super excited about the challenges I joined and sad about some I just couldn't. There are still a couple I'm thinking about and a new one found on Novel Challenges that I have to join, Anne McCaffrey's Pern series.
I started the new year with a couple of books unfinished: Redwall, Before I Fall, and Nitt Witt Hill. these will be finished (two are review books), they just don't count for most of my challenges unless I start over. ;-)
Time to get back into the swing of things, reading, blogging, crochet, gym, cooking, cleaning, .... Hope everyone has a great week planned.

A big thank you to Jenny Q at Let Them Read Books for hosting in December. January's host is Alyce at At Home with Books(blog link, not post link).

It's fun to shop in the freebie section, isn't it?
I've been meaning to host an Anne McCaffrey challenge for years, but then I just fizzled out of energy to host things like that this year. I'm glad to see that someone else thought of it too! She's one of my favorite authors of all time though, and I love the Pern series.
Farmville...so addicting! I'll just warn you right off not to try Angry Birds either. I lost a day playing that! Those free books are fun to get aren't they? I hope they are all good reads!
Take time to read Before I Fall - fantastic read!
