Why is it my 2025 Reading Challenge widget on my blog won't update unless I go in and change something on my challenge and re-save it? And it's one book off. I checked read dates, reloadied the widget once....it won't update and it stays one book short every time. ARGH!!

I bought new bookshelves for my bedroom....yay! Making myself a comfy reading nook!

Still organizing the home library. Making great progress! So hard to shelf books without reading!! Must. Keep. Working. :)

Catching up on review writing. Darn full time job cutting into my reading/reviewing time! :)

Just a friendly message: If you send me unsolicited "Buy my book'' messages by PM......I'm going to delete you from my friends list. I don't want constant book ads in my inbox. Thanks.

An author should know better than to reveal huge major plot spoilers about another writer's series in a review!! Argh! I don't usually block people....but definitely clicked to block without a second of hesitation.

Catching up on writing reviews.....two months behind on blogging! ARGH!

Catching up on writing reviews.....darn job cutting into my reading & writing time. ha ha :)

Since I can't go anywhere, I'm using the long weekend to catch up on reviews! :) Happy Easter everyone!

And once again customer service removes the spammer. Eyeroll. Just stop. Surely being removed multiple times should give you a hint.....

The holidays....family medical emergencies...general craziness in Nov/Dec put me way behind on writing reviews. Catching up! Hopefully this doesn't mean I'm going to be rushing to catch up for this entire year! ha ha

The holidays put me so far behind on writing reviews! Catching up tonight!

Going through my notes and catching up on writing reviews.....juggling two college classes has put me behind on blog posts! So up at 3 am getting caught up! :) Coffee, coffee, coffee!! :)

Haven't had much time for writing reviews for books I finished lately with school starting back up for my son and taking two college classes myself....so catching up on reviews today! :)

After accidentally buying a second copy of book by mistake...I'm re-organizing my bookshelves and checking that I have all my owned books listed. This might take a few days.....lol

This is going to take me awhile to finish. The audio book is more than 34 hours long, and I can only listen to a story about nuclear war in short bursts. Still working on the 100 books from The Great American Read.

Reading through some interesting books/novellas that have been languishing on my Kindle....some for YEARS. Time to read & review!

This was the first Agatha Christie novel I ever read. I bought a five book box set of Hercule Poirot mysteries at a garage sale when I was 10. Christie has been my favorite author ever since! :)

I have always wanted to read this series...saw book 1 on my library's digital site and decided now is a good time to dig in and meet Amelia Peabody!

It's SNOWING!!! Doesn't happen often in NC....so I just love it when it snows! Any recommendations for great books to read while snowed in? I'm just going to stay home and enjoy it! :)

Any recommendations for haunted house/spooky suspense novels? Fall weather has me in the mood for a good scary read!

Loving this story so far....although there are a few characters I would love to slap.

Happy Thanksgiving today to everyone who is celebrating! Blessings and happy thoughts extended to everyone, celebrating or not. ((Hugs))

Great story so far!

I am really enjoying this book!

Finally catching up on writing reviews after having my PC in the shop.....ugh!!

The only good thing about being sick as a dog is that I'm catching up on writing reviews from my notes. Still feel miserable though. Ugh.

Loving this book so far!

Loving this story so far!

I'm breaking my rule of always reading a series in order. Skipped a few books to read this upcoming book. Glad I did....it's excellent so far!!! :) I love this series!
