My original idea was to write this AMAZING year in review. With a list of all the books I read and fireworks and fan fair (well maybe not fireworks) but this last week totally kicked my ass and I will admit I should have started writing the post a month ago. (lesson learned for next year) So I figured I would just do a nice WIR and Sunday Post instead and then maybe at some point next week do a year wrap-up. If you are wondering what I did read this year I made a shelf on Goodreads. I am so proud of myself for reading 66 books this year. I know others read more but for me this was a big accomplishment.
It was a VERY light blog week and I sadly was unable to visit all my favorite blogs this week. Next week is a little light as well but in January things will go back to normal and I will soon be celebrating my one year blogversary in February with an amazing giveaway with lots of great authors. I will also have more time to visit all my favorite bloggers 🙂 I have so many but I have a plan how to get to you all at least once or twice a week. If things go well then I say three times a week. My TBR list will never be the same…not that it ever was.

What else is going on?
Santa was here and Mr & Mrs Nosy Rosy need to check everything out.
Christmas was so much fun and the kids LOVED all the gifts Santa got them. I am still opening boxes of dolls and putting together lego sets. It’s lots of fun really 🙂 I had my family over and cooked a very yummy dinner (yes I just patted myself on the back for being an awesome cook lol) Turkey, Pot Roast, Eggplant Parmigiana, Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Polenta, Broccoli Rabe…. the menu was endless, exhausting but totally worth it.
This week for New Years my sister and I host a New Year’s Eve Hoopla with a bunch of friends and family nothing to big just a nice place for people to go to hang. It’s always a lot of fun and its nice to have the company.
Awww, that monkey is too cute!!! Anyway, congratulations on reading SIXTY SIX books! And I think your family's pretty awesome for getting you all those books for presents 🙂 The Fault in Our Stars is definitely a must read.
Happy New Year!!!

Abigail and Her Pet Zombie looks so cute. Unfortunately it's no longer free. *pouts*
My boys (ages 14 & 13) got Legos, too. They sat in the living room and put them together after everything had been opened while my daughter (16) played a new game on the Xbox. lol
Congrats on reading 66 books! *high fives*
Happy New Year! 🙂
Your dinner sounds soooo tasty, yum! TFIOS is as good as everyone says it is, I'm always afraid with over hyped books but this one is worthy of the hype. I hope the Eversea series is good, I keep eying it up on NetGalley. Happy New Year and enjoy your lovely haul 🙂
I have been scared to read it since it's sad but a hear so many things about it I figure I'll grab my tissues and just jump in. I am hoping to get to it soon.
I loved The Fault in Our Stars! I hope that you enjoy it.
I will have my tissues ready. I keep hearing how amazing it is
Awesome haul! I just finished reading Avalon, hope you enjoy it! Abigail and her Pet Zombie looks soo cute! I need to read The Fault in Our Stars soon. I just wanted to say I love Eggplant Parmigiana! Glad to hear you had such a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year!

I have been so hesitate to read it, everyone talks about how amazing it is and they are making a movie so I guess I should at least try. I have my tissues ready 🙂
Eggplant Parm was so yummy will have to post a recipe for it one day its not like normal eggplant parm its more like stacks of individual eggplant. Super delicious
OH MY GOSH! Your nosy puppies are soooo cute!!! Mine couldn't care less!! And those ARE very big presents!!! You say you got stuck helping with the Legos… I'm not allowed to touch the 7 year old's. NO HELP he says! Well, okay then… he actually does them all okay. You know, Megablocks suck compared to Legos… just saying 🙂 Hope you got all the dolls out okay!!!
We got a minecraft lego set and that had tiny weenie pieces and my son likes when I put it together. I had Megablock for my daughter Hello Kitty it took me all day the the instructions are impossible.
Thank you I just found your blog today and Love it. Will be visiting often 🙂
Have a great new year!!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday. Congrats on reading 66 books. I hope things settle in nicely after the holidays. Happy New Year!
Thank you 🙂
I also didn't got much reading done this week. I think I am reading the same book for a week now and while I do enjoy it, I just can't seem to find time to read.
I am sad to hear Sea of Shadows is a bit slow so far, let's hope it picks up soon.
Sounds like you had a great christmas. I didn't got any books for christma,s but I did got some money form my grandma from
I am hoping between today and wednesday I can get through Sea of Shadows. I had hoped to read one more before the end of the year but I'm not seeing that happen.
I got an amazon gift card and I plan to pre-order a few I have been wanting.
🙂
