Poor blog

Well, this is my first post for December and since it is the last day of the month, that is pretty pitiful. I haven't felt like doing much of anything since August and am just now getting out of that slump. I hope to start blogging again in the new year and finding challenges to signup for, even though I am not for sure I completed a single challenge this year. I plan on getting a COYER and Bout of Books signup up today and possibly start picking out challenges, however I may not do a year end wrapup, because it kind of depresses me. I think I will just let the new year be a new slate and maybe we can pretend the last few months did not happen or maybe they were a dream ala Dallas style. :)

Hope you have all been well!

Christmas Spirit Readathon Wrapup

Well, I was able to finish Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber. It was an easy, quick read and it was okay. I had trouble with the rhyming Ash and Dash combo, but the title was a clever take on the male lead's name. Hopefully I can start the Christmas Wedding soon. Thanks to Michelle for hosting!

Christmas Spirit Readathon Signup

This is hosted by Michelle @ True Book Addict, Castle Macabre and Christmas Spirit blogs and you can signup at this link. This is a bit last minute, but I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit, so I have a few books on my reading list.

I am still reading Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber and I still need to read Christmas Wedding by James Patterson for book club, so I will concentrate on these two for now.

Thanks to Michelle for hosting!

FrightFall Read-a-Thon Wrapup

Well, work kicked my butt last week and I was gone all weekend, so I did not get to write updates like I hoped. I did finish House of Abraham with 72 pages and A Monster Calls through audio CDs, so that was awesome! Thanks to Michelle for hosting and I will try to be more social next time!!
