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

Weekly report of last week's activities, reading and new books in the house....

Last week:
My brother was in town so we had dinner with him and the parents. A nephew and his family has moved near by and them came too. Afterwards we made Christmas trees out of ice cream cones. At 3 and 5, the parents didn't want the hassle of a gingerbread house. Son made one too and they left it for him to bring home.

Dear Author's site had a Rake Name generator, I'm The Unsuitable Worldly Well-Read Miss Francis. What are you?

No gym with Daughter, she's still making gifts and I'm still working on the bracelets.

Took time out for lunch with parents and friends.

No volleyball because of the holidays.

Living room is ready to decorate. . .I'm so far behind this year!

Great Christmas party at church. I brought a stew (beans and barley) with Moroccan seasonings.

Guest room progress. . .  (I think I'm going to like the paint son picked out. Okay, I brought home several color samples, M narrowed them down, son said which he liked and I did too.)

Whew!

I hope you have a great week planned
