Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.
It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
Welcome to The Book Connection. It's late on Sunday as I am writing this post. I've spent the last 2.5 days taking down Christmas and organizing a few cabinets and the books in my office. The cats thought they could help.
Open a box, and Dwight will climb in it.
Can just see the green of Travis' eyes.
Travis took over the empty part of the shelf, and Dwight was jealous.
In case you hadn't heard. It's been quiet cold in the Northeast. Actually, it's been cold all over. When it gets that cold, I bake. So, I pulled out YiaYia's bread pan and made banana bread.
It was so cold on Sunday, that we figured we better dress up Theo. His paws have been bothering him on our walks. We made it back with three of the four shoes on his feet.
In my reading world, the review of this one appeared on the blog last week. You can find it here.
I read the first chapter of Love's Long Journey by Janette Oke. You can read my thoughts here.
I've been listening to this one on Audible. The author spent the first half talking all about himself and his career, but the second half is filled with helpful information for entrepreneurs.
I am reading these two.
I need to read these next.
I have also agreed to review these two books once they arrive.
Upcoming virtual book tours:
- Civil Twilight by Anique Taylor - January 23 (guest post)
- The Location Shoot by Patricia Leavy - January 31 (interview)
- When the Red Bird Flies by Courtney Reames Haydell - Feb 5 (review at TC&TBC)
The Christmas blog is still going. In addition to sharing my recent Christmas titles, these posts appeared last week:
- Pressure to Create the Perfect Holidays
- Tips to Help with the Winter Blues
- Taking it All Down
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
I've had a busy mailbox this year. I'm still expecting a few more, but then I will hold off on book buying. I want to go through the boxes of books in my closet before adding more.
That's it for me. Looking forward to checking out your blogs to see what you were up to last week.
