It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
I hope that everyone who celebrates had a lovely Thanksgiving! Ours was delicious, and Wyatt got to see all his cousins, including our month old newest niece! We hadn’t gotten a chance to meet her until now, because my house kept passing around a cold and bronchitis. But I finally got to hold her snuggly little self and introduce myself. The rest of the weekend was nice too – I had a bit of a rough six hours in the ER Thanksgiving night lol, I took two doses of a medication that I am on by accident like a dork, but everything was ok. Except the rest of our night! But we went home, slept, and then got up the next morning and had a great rest of the weekend. We celebrated Wolfenoote, did some shopping, decorated for Christmas, and Billy and I managed to sneak in a date night for an Owl Prowl on Saturday night! It was a jam packed full of fun weekend!
Read Last Week:
I had a couple of DNFs last week. Not because they were not good books, but I wasn’t in the mood for them, and I actually just got too busy with the holiday. Wyatt was off school the whole week as well – it was just super busy and by the time I got a chance to read I was exhausted and too tired to focus on a book, sadly. I read a lot of internets though.
I also kinda sorta think I am on a book hangover from Virgil Wander. I really really loved that book.
Reading this Week:
A Christmas Courting – From NetGalley. I have a soft spot in my heart for Regency Christmas romances. When I was about 17 my mom started putting them in my stocking – and now my husband does. I also find the need to pick them up whenever I see them!
The Endless Beach by Jenny Colgan – I need to catch up on my Colgan, since there are a slew of Christmas books of hers that I want to read!
Posted Last Week:
Perfect Pairings – A Book and Toy Holiday Gift Guide
Watching:
The Great British Bake Off (so good to just chill out to!) – and honestly that is all we have had time for! Things should get back to normal this week.
How about you? What has been going on in your world?
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Glad you guys had a nice Thanksgiving! And an Owl Prowl- nice! Sorry to hear about the ER visit though.
Lovely cover for A Christmas Courting! I don’t read romance but I do love some of those Regency and Victorian era covers!

Thanks Greg! We love the owl prowls we go to, there is something about being in the woods at night in the winter. 🙂 And yeah, that was a stupid mistake because I was rushing. I could have kicked myself!
I love that cover too!

I remember really loving those Thanksgiving get-togethers when the kids were little. They got to see more cousins.
Now that my kids and grandkids are adults, it is harder to gather them together.
Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

I loved that too, as a kid, running around with all my cousins. Now that we are older we have a harder time getting together too. But it makes the time when you do, that much better! 🙂

What a packed holiday you had full of family, eats, and adventure. An owl prowl sounds really neat. I love how your husband fills your stocking up with regency romances.

It really was a crazy couple of days, of activities and family! The owl prowl was cool. No owl sightings but plenty of call backs. 🙂
He’s a sweet guy. 🙂

Wow, six hours in the ER is no fun. I’m glad it didn’t ruin Thanksgiving, though. Hopefully you find some good books this week!

Yeah, it was a really dumb mistake caused by rushing around on the holiday. I wanted to kick myself, since all I wanted to do is veg on the couch in my pajamas, Lol.
Thanks!

This time of year I generally turn to lighter reading because it’s so hard to stay focused when you have a million things to do. Ooops on the meds, but glad all turned out okay in the end.

That is precisely it. I think my plan until January is to keep it light and simple. 🙂
And ugh that was such an irritation. I couldn’t believe I did it. That’s what rushing gets me!

Sounds like a lot last week, but you did manage some fun things. I have to say I feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of emails for sales / deals over the last week or so. Hopefully this week was more routine. Anne – Books of My Heart
