Happy New Year everyone! I’m finally getting back to regular blogging after being sick most of December. My latest cough of over 10 days is finally going away thanks to some antibiotics and steroids. Here’s to a healthier January!
My Top Ten Lists are up. You can check out my top ten traditionally published and top ten Indie books of 2022 at the links.
Any resolutions out there? I’m continuing with my diet resolution since May of last year (It took me a while to get started). I’ve lost 34 pounds. I have a lot more to go. A new addition to this list is to reverse my pre-diabetic condition and make sure I never get that dreaded disease. My third resolution is actually to read less. I’ve been taking on too many books, a lot of which never see the blog because I don’t have the time or didn’t feel it blog-worthy. So I’m cutting down on book tours to a degree and concentrating on Netgalley, one or two book tour companies, my favorite Indie publisher, and of course Indie Weekend requests. I met my Goodreads challenge of 200 books, but I’m lowering it to 125 this year.
What resolutions or changes have you committed to for 2023?

I was in the mood for a rom-com, and it’s written by a real-life husband and wife. It’s not my usual read, but I’m looking forward to it.

Bonnie Reads and Writes 
Here’s hoping January brings better health! I need to get back on track with my health goals. I slowly returned to bad habits mid-year. I’ve practically quit all blog tours (except for a couple from favorite authors). I’ve found over the last couple years that I’d much rather read from my own shelves.

Yes, I am going to cut those tours way down. I have to make sure I don’t overdo it this year.

Sometimes we have to cut back. It’s a wise decision to read less. 200 books is a lot. I didn’t even make 50! Stay well. xo

It’s good to hear that your health is back on track, Bonnie! I’ve never made New Year’s resolutions. I do goals and plans instead, which are much too numerous to list. Happy New Year!
