Stacking the Shelves #102, Sunday Post #99, Sunday Salon #93

Hey bookish friends! Happy New Year's Eve!!! Did you have a good Christmas week? We did. Me and my kiddos traveled to TN on Wednesday and got back Saturday evening. It was a quick trip, but always wonderful to see my sister and her family. Word is my car will be finished by the end of this week!!! I will update next Saturday. Today we did Church online, played a few games, and plan to do more of the same, with lots of relaxing this afternoon. Tomorrow my son goes back to work, but hubby is off. We plan to take down the Christmas tree and put the house back in order. We never stay up until midnight to celebrate, we've gotten old, LOL, and need our sleep. How do you celebrate New Year's Eve?

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual.This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Other updates:

I finished 4 books and a year long Bible. I need to do two of the reviews, as I finished one last night and one this morning. I have started thinking about my 2024 goals but still haven't gotten anything written yet, hoping to start that later today. I did not include the books I got for Christmas in today's post because I just blogged about them for Top Ten Tuesday. If you are interested you can click on that link below.

I also did an update on my personal blog: Share Four Somethings November/December 2023

I am also linking up with the Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.

    I'm glad to hear you had a great Christmas and you that you got to visit your sister and her family.

    I'm a night owl anyway, so I usually stay up on NYE, but I can't stay up much later than that anymore. I hope you have a great new years celebration even if it's just going to bed early, lol.

    I haven't made it to midnight in a million years, I think. So you are not alone.

    Fingers crossed for you that your car will be finished soon!

    I like all the books you got with your gift card. Thirsty sounds especially interesting to me.

    I enjoy the fireworks in London on the BBC YouTube channel -- they go off at 6pm my time which is perfect. Happy New Year!

    Sounds like a good week. I should probably use my Amazon gift card to get a Bissel steam shot, but of course I'll use it for books instead.

    I fell asleep around 9pm on NYE but woke up at 11:30pm so got to witness the entrance of the new year.

    I am glad you had such a nice Christmas with your family, Cindy. I am not sure when our holiday decorations will come down. They went up so late. But I am ready for my house to go back to normal. Maybe in another week or two. My family and I rang in the new year with friends. It was low-key. I think all of us grown-ups would have happily called it a night East Coast time (9 p.m. our time), but we stayed up for the kids' sake--they were having too much fun so we stayed up. We did head home and crashed pretty soon after midnight though.

    I hope you enjoy your new books and have a Happy New Year!
