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 - Catch up post

Happy Labor Day!

I don't have too much to say here, I did a what-I-did-on-my-summer-vacation post last Saturday. :D

I really should have continued my Monday posts, just to make the lists smaller! I spent a lot of time this summer reading and shopping. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of a semi-regular schedule. I've added volleyball, run/walk club, gym workouts and a personal training session to my usual shopping, lunch and reading week.

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.

Thanks to July's host: Mrs. Q: Book Addict
