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.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very productive month. :)
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month! I haven't read any of your books, but I've marked some down for future reference. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your extended family's loss.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYay for reading so many amazing books! I want to read Since You've Been Gone since I keep hearing it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would love Grumpy Cat Vol.1-didn't know he had a book-LOL
ReplyDeleteGood month for you!!

Great reading month!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
