Stacking the Shelves #208 Sunday Post #205 Sunday Salon #199

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I had a decent week. I was able to walk outside twice this week, which was such a blessing. Thursday was super nice and my boss decided we both needed a half day to enjoy the sunshine. I went to the lake beach that is nearby, walked, then settled in to read my book. I was there an hour and a half, in the 75 degree weather, and it was glorious! Also, the highlight of my week. We are going through a lot of hard and found out Thursday afternoon another member of the family has cancer. We are waiting to hear if it has spread or is confined. This weekend is on the cold/rainy side again, so it is mostly chores and cleaning on our radar. Do you have anything fun planned?

December Reading Wrap Up 2025

November and December had me moving (literally), so I did not do a November reading wrap up. However, I did read 25 books (didn't know it was that many until just now, (4 were children's books) DNF'd 2. It looks like I had a record number of 5 star reads as well: 11!! For December I read 18 books. One was a 2-star read. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in reading my review.

October Reading Wrap Up 2023

On the personal side, October was a hard month with my son's surgery and ongoing recovery, and having had (and still have) bronchitis for the last two weeks. I had some reading duds, but overall I think I had a decent reading month. I read 22 books and DNFed 1. Click on the cover of the book if you are interested in the review.

My Review:

 Lysa Terkeurst is a great Bible Teacher. I have read several of her books. I appreciate her writing style, putting Scripture first and then citing other examples to explain her point. I'll Start Again Monday is not a diet book, it is a journey.
