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!

What has happened to the year? My parents, Husband's parents, Daughter and Boyfriend all came over for dinner, Son too but he lives here. Husband wasn't able to come home early so this time I did most of it. Turned out nice, good food and great company. Bought a new tablecloth and serving dishes ;) The serving dishes were so nice, my MIL is going to purchase them also.

I plan on finishing up gift wrapping this week, going to the post office with everyone else, and taking my Mom shopping since I've got the week off, plus delivering a couple of gifts that didn't get taken care of this week. I also hope to experiment with some new recipes :)

I'm also going to re-vamp my challenge blogs so apologies for the huge amount of posts/duplicates.

Happy Holiday, be safe!

Hope everyone has a great week planned.
