It's cold and rainy and we're tucked up, nice and cozy with books and family. The best place to be, whether it be physically or virtually. Thanks to Sandy and Amy we've had a grand year, going on a crime spree. It's week 49 in our 52 Books Quest and we talking December's Crime Spree recommendations.
I’ve got my eyes are bigger than my stomach syndrome because I want to read all Sandy and Amy’s recommendations. Think I’ll start with Water like a Stone, now in my virtual stacks and look forward to reading it this month.
Currently reading Nora Robert’s The Choice and love the characters and the storyline. Makes me want to live in Ireland and maybe by chance find a portal to the other side. 😊
Waiting on the nightstand is the newest Armand Gamache story, A World of Curiosities. I’m going to check out the first episode of Three Pines on Amazon Prime, think of it as a mystery series separated from the books, and see how I like it.
Saturday night, we watched Willow, the original 80's movie which James watched for the first time and greatly enjoyed.
I've been planning for 2023 and combined with 52 Books Bingo and A to Z and Back Again, I'm going to attempt to read more nonfiction, as well as do another 10 x 10 all from my TBR virtual and physical stacks, quite a few which are dusty and/or chunky while extending my ban buying through the first half of the year.
1001 Books Before You Die
Baby It's Cold Outside
Books about Books
It's a Crime
Flights of Fantasy
Tales of the Past

What a Mystery
Thrills and Chills
I usually start the year with a chunky and dusty book, so I'm contemplating whether I want to try again with Sharon Kay Penman's When Christ and Her Saints slept, since I didn't finish it this year. It got dumped by the wayside pretty quickly which was a shame. I may attempt Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged or dive back into Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall series with Bring Up the Bodies, and Mirror & the Light.
Those TBR piles never seem to end! I guess that is a good problem to have, there is always something good waiting to be read. I like the idea of starting the year with a dusty and chunky read. Sounds like a great way to kick start the year. Thanks for sharing your plans!
