Lucas goes to Vegas via New Orleans and Los Angeles. Top notch work, we get to spend time with his new pals from the Marshalls service, Rae and Bob. Spent the morning with my parents, who are moving to their “last” last house in a couple of weeks so I swung by to pick some stuff up. They‘re super downsizing so I‘ve been bringing some stuff home here and there. But I really need a bigger house. 🤣

Still a favorite of mine. #SeriesLove2023 #JoyousJanuary. Fills a couple of prompts for my many reading chsllenges this year. @Andrew65

Tamra My chapter book reading life began here. ❤️ 9mo
CocoReads @Tamra pretty sure mine did too. These, the boxcar children, encyclopedia brown are what I remember from this age. Shortly after that I discovered Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Judy Blume, Trixie Beldon. And I just took off from there. 9mo
Andrew65 A great series of books, well done. 9mo
Tamra @CocoReads echo Trixie Beldon! My grandmother gave me books in both series. I wish I could thank her now. 9mo

1st book in the #joyousjanuaryreadathon and also #setieslove2023 I‘m still reading Little House in the big woods and will probably finish that tonight as well. Goodreads tells me I read this before but I sure didn‘t remember it! Kept me guessing the whole time, so that was good. @Andrew65

I‘m pretty sure a childhood dog chewed on this. I got the whole set for Christmas in 78 (when I was 8). I thought I‘d re-read them as part of #serieslove2023. Additionally, I think it fills a prompt or two on some of my other reading challenges this year. Check out the low low price of $1.99. Those were the days!

TEArificbooks There is a buddy read group reading a chapter a day of the whole series. We are on farmer boy now. #littlehouse 9mo
CocoReads @TEArificbooks that‘s pretty cool. Idk what pace I‘ll set with these, I don‘t get a lot of reading in on workdays but it‘s nice to know others are enjoying some of my childhood favorites. 9mo
MaureenMc My grandmother gave me this one & Little House on the Prairie for Christmas when I was 8. 😊 Must have been the go-to books to gift 8 yo girls in the late 70s/early 80s. 😁 9mo

Finished this last night before bed but today has been a whirlwind. Work, finally (mostly) kicking the headache I‘ve had for the past week, we‘ve been low key house hunting so we looked at a house this afternoon (it‘s not the house for us), I‘m just now sitting down to read/catch up. This is not Nora‘s best, but I love books set in Alaska and other cold things so I‘d give it 3.5 stars.

My rooms still a mess, and the tension headache I‘ve had most of the week is back, but I‘m done with the book! On some level I knew these types of positions exist, but I had no idea what they really were about. But there‘s so many layers to Belle‘s life, I couldn‘t possibly get into all my thoughts here. Just a great read and my second book of 2023.

Book 1 of 2023 down! It wasn‘t the book I started with but it‘s the one I finished first. 🤣This was pretty good, I didn‘t guess the killer right away. A couple questions that the author didn‘t wrap up though, and that kind of annoyed me but overall a well written fast paced suspense/mystery type book.

I did it! Book 100. Going to keep reading as it‘s only going on 7 pm here but I‘m going to either work on longer books or get a jump start on my first read of 2023. Or a combination of both. We‘ll see what happens! I enjoyed this “quickie” high school reunion insta love/mean girl story. Still only 3 stars since it was so short there wasn‘t any character development. #WinterReadathon #ReadingMyWayTo2023

As a lead in to #SeriesLove2023 I read this short 75 page novella as part of my personal #readingmywayinto2023 weekend. One of the series I‘d like to tackle is this Lucy Kincaid series but it‘s been so long since I read any of them, I figured I‘d start fresh! 2 more books to hit 100 in 2022! #WinterReadathon

Late on Resolution planning day! Naturally I‘ve bitten off more than I can chew but a lot of these overlap and I‘m not going to feel pressured to finish any of them but I‘ll reward myself for each one I do finish (not sure what that will look like though). Goodreads goal remains 100 books. #WinterReadathon

1 short book down, 3 to go and I‘ll hit 100 for the year. Not reflected on goodreads because I was bad about updating. This was just ok. It was what I was expecting:insta love, pregnancy, a hint of danger. It‘s a fun series so far, but it‘s only book 2 and I tend to just read these when I want something quick and brainless. #winterreadathon

Andrew65 Well done ☃️☃️☃️ 9mo

Typically the only books I get for Christmas are the ones I buy myself while shopping for others. I always buy a book planner and I‘ve been buying this one from Little Inklings for the last couple of years. My hubs did get me an Amazon card though—which probably be spent on ebooks. I have a couple more hood coming from the ‘zon but they were delayed by the Blizzard. #ChristmasBookHaul

Andrew65 Some excellent books in there! 9mo
CocoReads A lot of these are books for book group. We went to planning a year in advance which is nice because it gives us time to get from the library, read chunksters ahead of time, etc. we started a couple years ago doing that and it‘s saved so many headaches 9mo

Since I‘m totally bad at taking pictures I leave you with a picture of the drifts outside my brother in laws man cave (aka a concerted chicken coop), this was from a couple days ago. Todays weather was much better although the roads are still pretty icy. And drifty. Internet was out too but we had a nice low key Christmas. Going to snuggle in with some reading and then turn in early.

Finished a book! Lucas has some unfinished business with Senator Taryn Grant and it all comes to a head here. I liked this much better than the last 2 (which weren‘t bad, but I felt like he missed some obvious clues). This one had some great twists and turns. I have about 9 books left to hit 100 for the year. Will I make it? Doubtful. But we do have a blizzard headed our way. Unfortunately there‘s no snow days at the hospital. #WinterReadathon

#WinterReadathon #dailychallenge These are a regional favorite I‘m pretty sure, although I don‘t think they‘re made in the area anymore.

#WinterReadathon week 1–60 points. I did the first 3 daily challenges. Have yet to finish a book, Christmas Themed or not. I am halfway through the tagged book though so maybe by tomorrow? My new “not a promotion” is taking all my mental abilities and we‘re full up for the first time in weeks so we‘re busy on top of that.

DieAReader Great job all the same!🥳🥳🥳 The new “not a promotion” doesn‘t sound like much fun😬 I hope u get more relax time this week to enjoy some reading♥️📚🤓 10mo
CocoReads @DieAReader I think it‘ll be okay once I get used to it—my main gripe is that it‘s more responsibility for not more money as it‘s dangerously close to being a manager, which I‘ve never wanted to be. I like all my coworkers though but we‘ve been going through a lot of changes since the buyout and so there‘s been pushback. That‘s why I‘ve been calling it a “not a promotion”, gotta have some fun with it. 🤪 10mo
DieAReader @CocoReads More responsibility & same $ to me also = not a promotion to me too🤪(& maybe a cop out by someone higher on the food chain🤨🧐?). Manager (even those dangerously close ones) definitely should include a pay adjustment! 10mo
Andrew65 Great to see you are managing to fit some reading in around all your challenges on the work front. Totally unfair to expect you have to have more responsibility without more pay, but unfortunately that is no surprise from many employers. Sending positive thoughts 🎄🎄🎄 (edited) 10mo
CocoReads Yes, it‘s definitely so@etching from up the food chain. They‘re calling it a lateral transfer which is how they can get away with not more pay. I think, in the end, it might pan out to more money but we‘ll see. They are notoriously stingy with the commoners but there‘s always money for construction (at the bigger facilities) and for the top heavy VP level. 10mo

I struggled with the rating because for much of the book I (unpopular opinion) didn‘t like it. 😱 I know—I didn‘t like any of the characters, I thought Verity was a whack job, but it was well written and that‘s what kept me turning the pages. And then….I get to the end and the major plot twist. And then….I didn‘t know what to think. I still didn‘t like any of the characters but the ending is a mindf$&@ that I‘ll be thinking about for awhile

We might be moving. Going to look at a house today. As such, I‘m supposed to be thinning out and packing stuff to get our current house ready to put on the market. So what do I do at the grocery this morning? Buy more books. 🤦‍♀️ you guys, I just have no shelf control at all.

DivineDiana That‘s why we are here! 😅🙋‍♀️📚 14mo
CocoReads @DivineDiana I knew you would understand! I will say the house we‘re looking at today is double the size of our current little house and was built in 1910 so it‘s got a lot of built Ins already. Maybe not a lot of closets though in the bedrooms. 14mo
DivineDiana That is fantastic! My house was built in 1929, so I am well aware of the closet problem. Then, I think during that time period, people didn‘t own so many choices. And maybe that was a good thing. 🤔 Good luck with your search! 14mo

CocoReads Turns out there‘s closets in all but one bedroom. The stairs are narrow and steep so that‘s a bit of a drawback. The driveway is narrow and tricky but there is street parking. It‘s in town, and so close I could walk to work in good weather. It‘s the first house we‘ve looked at and so there‘s a lot to consider 14mo

Finally finished. It‘s only a couple hundred pages and I wanted to like it but I just…didn‘t. I can‘t even really put my finger on why, she writes well and the journey to find herself should have been compelling but overall I found it no more exciting than reading about my own life. I felt she dropped the ball with regards to her father, that those parts were kind of glossed over. It was ok, just not ultimately for me. #JubilantJuly

Non book related—the sun briefly came out and I ignored the humidity and took the dog on a short walk.

The other book I started for #20in4 it‘s fine, but I can‘t figure out if the 2 storylines are going to join together, or if they‘re going to stay separate. I can‘t see how they‘re going to connect but I‘ve been surprised before.
