January Monthly News

Welcome to the January edition of monthly news!
Happy new year to you all! I hope it's off to a great start. 
For me, it's been bittersweet. While this new year has essentially been nothing to complain about in my personal life, we have had a funeral to attend when an extended family member died. He was 93 though, so instead of being sad, we mostly celebrated his life. R.I.P. Henry.
A ton of famous people have died this year already too. Is it something in the air?!
I didn't really make any resolutions this year, per say, but I did decide that I wasn't reviewing anything I didn't absolutely need in my life. I guess it was consuming my life and I needed to step back a bit.
Did you make any resolutions? Have they stuck or dissolved already?

    I really want to read more by F. Scott Fitzgerald, because The Great Gatsby is one of my all time favorite books. That sandwich looks so delicious! :D

    Looks like a great reading month Freda. Just had a peek at The Newsmakers which sounds really fascinating so added it to my wish list. Happy reading for Feb.

    I'm sorry for your extended family's loss.
    I enjoyed the movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I've ordered Moo business cards in the past and like the co. I'm still working my resolutions out for the year. Have a great year!

    I'm sorry for your family's loss. I'm glad you could celebrate his life. :) I've heard that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is very short. I've only seen the movie and it's interesting to me that they made such a long movie out of such a short story.

    What a good month! I rec'd The Newsmakers, so it's on deck after the next book. I'm trying to break up my mystery/thrillers--I read a lot of them in the winter!

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
