It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (December 30, 2024)

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.

It’s Monday!  What Are You Reading is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

Other Than Reading...

My brother and I had a nice quiet Christmas week. The weather was unseasonably warm with temperatures above freezing for the end of the week. Of course, with the warmer temperatures, we also had dense fog for those same days. This coming week is supposed to be a return to cold weather.

This week's agenda includes a visit to the eye doctor early on Friday morning. The housecleaners are supposed to come on Thursday. Bill has Thursday and Friday off this week but is scheduled for both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. 

There are no big cooking plans on the calendar. Bill's thinking about making lasagna on Friday since that is an all-day process for him. Bill is also making a ziti casserole today before he goes to work. Leftover Christmas ham and other leftovers will be my dinners this week while he is at work. 

Naturally, with a pocket stuffed with new Amazon gift cards, I couldn't find anything that I wanted to buy this week. I only added two review copies to my stack. 

Also, this week will be filled with end of the year reports, setting up my 2025 reading spreadsheet, and setting up my February reading calendar.
