Thank you to The Book Date for hosting “It’s Monday!”
Hi everyone! I’m officially retired, but still working on our move. Doug brought down a second U-Haul truck Sunday, and we’re going back Monday to try and get the rest. Our little house is full! The second bedroom is crammed with boxes, and there is some finishing and painting left to do before we unpack a lot of them. But we are here, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains, and I am stoked!
I have been blogging less as life has just been so busy, but I miss it! My posts may be a little shorter but I’m going to try and blog more during this hectic time.
CURRENTLY READING
I’m reading several books for The Historical Novel Society, and they are due in a couple of weeks. I will post about them after the reviews are published November 1st.
WHAT I JUST FINISHED
WHAT I’M READING NEXT
I actually already started the Nora Roberts book, which is the second book in a wonderful series. I’ve usually got more than one book going at a time. The Christmas Tree Farm is one of several Christmas books that are coming out soon. Yep, it’s that time of year.
Question of the Day: What Are You Reading?
I hope you all have a wonderful week, and I will keep the blog posts coming!
Congratulations on your retirement, Bonnie!
All the best, Bonnie!
Happy Retirement Bonnie! I’m on a wonderful St. Mary’s binge listen at the moment, enjoying every word! 😀
The newest one just came out! The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal
Lucky you it’s not out here until the 12th!
Oh maybe I was wrong. I thought it was today. I got an ARC on Netgalley and already read it. It’s great! Very different.
That’s great I’m looking forward to it. I really like those characters, especially the way Zara Ramm portrays them for the audiobooks.
Enjoy your retirement, Bonnie. You’re amazing with the amount of reading and reviews you get done. I’m currently reading “USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky” by Norman Maclean, included in his book “A River Runs Through It and Other Stories.” It is an interesting story of the U.S. Forest Service, with some beautiful descriptions of the forest and fascinating events.
That sounds intriguing!
It is to me, Bonnie. It’s well written.
Congratulations on your retirement and your move to the new home for you!! I am so happy for you. I don’t know how you get any time to read right now but you will have more time soon once settled in.
Congratulations Bonnie! I wish you all the best in your new life of leisure! However, you’ll now find yourself busier than ever but loving it! 🥰
Hurray for your retirement and your new home! Right now, I’m currently reading “Airpower in Literature: Interrogating the Clean War, 1915-2015″ by a former faculty colleague. I”m really enjoying reading a work of literary scholarship!
