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

Spent the weekend with my MIL. Her BIL died and a bunch of us went to the funeral but my MIL had hip replacement surgery recently enough that she was unable to go. I stayed with her so her husband could go to the funeral. She lives close by so I was able to pop back home for stuff but I think I interrupted my son's day. . . he thought he had the house to himself all weekend ;-)

Hope everyone has a great week planned

Mailbox Monday is a place to share all the wonderful books that have come to live in your home; print, electronic and audio. Started by Marcia of The Printed Page, the mailbox is currently on tour. Check it out so you know where to go next month.

Good question Kathy. These are books that I've started, aren't actively reading but are still stacked up next to my reading chair. The ones I haven't given up on (yet?)
