Happy New Year!!

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

This weekend, we’re supposed to get possibly TWO inches of rain. That’s a lot of rain. They’re saying it will be the worst storm since Helene. In case we lose power, I’m posting this early.

Summary of 2024:

I did a lot less book reviews due to so many life changes. I am going to post a Top 10 Books of 2024 list next week.

2024 was a big year of change, from working in Germany, to retiring, moving, and Hurricane Helene, to getting used to having so much free time! Not that I’m complaining.

I have been a reviewer for Historical Novel Society for the past few years, but in 2024 I became an editor for them. I was a temporary Indies editor, and now I’m a permanent Small Press Editor. We’re all volunteers, so there’s no pay involved, but I get to work with some great small presses. That’s been really fun and exciting.

I have been spending the last couple of weeks getting caught up on my Historical Novel Society reviews, but I plan to do a bunch of reviews next week.

I hope you have a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

What are you looking forward to in the coming year?

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  2. Happy New Year to you, Doug, Harold (so sweet!) and that’s Hermann (a cutie), right? I hope you miss all that rain! And you still must be reeling from the busy year you’ve had! xo

  5. Such sweet little pup faces! How do they like their new home? Congratulations on becoming a permanent Small Press Editor! As for me, I’m looking forward to getting my second novel out in the world.

  7. Happy New Year, Bonnie! Keep dry and safe! The rain will come to us starting this weekend and maybe lasting until the end of next week. No snow though because it will be warmer than normal.

  10. Greetings Bonnie and Happy New Year. You were kind enough to review my music history book, MUSIC TITANS – 250 GREATEST RECORDING ARTISTS OF THE PAST 100 YEARS, early in 2024. Stay healthy and busy; I am trying to do the same. Steve Williams

  11. You did have a busy year with lots of changes. I think 2025 things will settle down and you will be able to enjoy retirement. Your doggies are so cute! Have a Happy New Year. xo
