Look What I Got!


For the second year in a row, I decided to participate in the Book Blogger Holiday Swap. I sent a gift out to the person I was assigned last week, but I'm not sure if she received it yet. However, I did receive mine yesterday! My Secret Santa sent me a wonderful package with two books that were on my wish list!

Shoot the Moon               The Road (Oprah's Book Club)

I'm so excited to read them! She also sent three cute bookmarks that will come in handy now that I've started reading more than one book at a time. I used to be a one-book-at-a-time reader, but lately I find myself going back and forth between two or three books. And I only have one nice bookmark! So those will definitely come in handy!

My Secret Santa is still anonymous, so I guess I'll say THANK YOU here and hope he or she sees it!

    Hi Julie, glad you like your gifts. I had a lot of fun shopping for them on the day after Thanksgiving. Hope you like the books, The Road is very good (intense but overall a great book.)

    Your Secret Santa,

    Just wanted to say thanks for my package. I received it a few weeks ago, but I haven't had a chance to write you a little note. Looking forward to reading your reviews in the upcoming year!

Getting back to blogging

It seems that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my list for the past year, and was pretty low for the year or two prior to that. I love to read, and am continuing to do so, but as my regular readers know I haven't been around much. My last blog post was almost a year ago!!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.

I will admit to a bit of a Facebook addiction, which means way too much time spent scrolling through my newsfeed instead of doing something more productive. This is one of the things I'm working on and hoping that this will free up some time for getting back to the blog.

Overall, life is good. Work is …
