It's Monday! What are you reading? #9

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are planning to read over the week. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and add to your TBR pile! This meme is hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date.

I did not do as much reading as I had planned, we had family over for Thanksgiving and my daughter was home from college for the weekend. We had fun hanging out and being present with each other. We watched a few episodes of Leverage (have you watched it?) and taught my daughter how to play Nertz. It's a fun game that can be played with 2-12 players. I look forward to playing it with a larger group!

What I finished this week:

Sunday Spotlight #8-Hosanna in Excelsis

Happy Sunday, friends! A few weeks ago I started doing a "Sunday Spotlight" where I highlight a book/author that deserves more love!  I take a book that I have read and enjoyed that has less than 100
reviews on Goodreads and give it some extra love by drawing it to your attention! Maybe someday I will host a link party (if I can figure it out) to make it easier to participate. 

Title: Hosanna in Excelsis

Author: David & Barbara Leeman

Publisher: Moody

Genre: Christmas, Nonfiction

Mount TBR Reading Challenge

I am looking forward to doing several reading challenges in 2022. The first challenge I signed up for was The Nerdy Bookworm's read 50 books a year challenge. While that should be easy for me I have to follow her prompts. Reading 50 books is easy for me as I typically do 3-4 times that, but following the prompts will be hard.

Medical Medium Liver Rescue

 Title: Medical Medium Liver Rescue

Author: Anthony William

Publisher: Hay House, Inc.

Genre: Health, Self-help, Education, Nonfiction

My review:

This book was way more interesting than I thought it would be. I borrowed it from the library with the intent to just skim it.
