Sunday Ramblings

December 16, 2018 by Darlene

Happy Sunday to all!  How has everyone’s weekend been?  Good I hope. Mine has been quiet. My better half is away working until Thursday so it’s been me and the mutt. It’s been a beautiful week though with nice temperatures and that always makes winter a little easier to handle.

Are you all ready for Christmas?  Trees up and presents bought?  I’ve got a couple little things to pick up and then I’m finished. I don’t go all out on the wrapping and stuff anymore. Just put it in a Christmas bag or envelope is my new motto.   I’ve got my little Christmas tree up and a few decorations so it’s so somewhat festive. I took a picture the other day – in the dark of course because that’s when trees look the best.

On the reading front I’m still reading The Huntress by Kate Quinn. For some reason I couldn’t get into reading in the beginning of the week but it’s picked up now. I’m listening to an audio called Tell Me a Secret by Samantha Hayes which is quite good and just finished Our Little Lies by Sue Watson which I really enjoyed. Last week saw the following on the blog:

Monday was a review of Her Pretty Face by Robyn Harding (Audiobook)

Tuesday was First Chapter, First Paragraph in which I featured The Huntress by Kate Quinn

Wednesday’s Book Love featured The Glovemaker by Ann Weisgarber

Thursday was a review of Just What Kind of Mother Are You? by Paula Daly (Audiobook)

Friday featured a BookTrib Holiday Thriller Giveaway. Be sure to visit my Giveaway Page and enter to win!

Saturday featured the one and only challenge I’m taking on and that is the 2019 Historical Fiction Challenge hosted by the wonderful Amy over at Passages to the Past.

Some photos of Sam bulldozing the snow.  Sorry they are a little dark but it’s been a bit gloomy here.

That pretty much wraps up my week. I’m going to be running a few errands today and then hopefully relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine in the evening. I hope you all have a great week ahead!

    It’s been cold here but we’re finally supposed to get more seasonal weather starting today – sunshine and a high of 60! That’s what I’m talking about.

    I need to pick up some stocking stuffers and plan our holiday menus and then shop for them and I’ll be ready for the big day.

    So much snow! We’re cold but no snow at all at the moment. I’m fairly ready for Christmas but next week might have me traveling to mom’s for a few days. That will give me time to listen to an audio on the 3.5 hr drive 🙂 I need to decide on one. Have a good week, Dar!

    I still have a few things to buy. I like gift bags too, so much quicker. Sammy is adorable!

    I could never live in your neck of the woods. I would faint from the cold. Well, if I never had to go anywhere or do anything then I would enjoy it. LOL.
