Sunday Post, Mailbox Monday and It's Monday What Are You Reading? Dec 31 Edition


Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

Last Sunday of the year! This will be a year of change for me, and I'm determined to embrace each new circumstance with a positive attitude, courage and gratitude. Hope you're all enjoying time with your families. I've been playing tons of board games with my teen kids. 


Mailbox Monday Edition



Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Mailbox Monday now has a permanent home on its blog. Link up to share your MM.


For Review:

Some armchair travelling 


I love children's books that empower young girls to dream big


I've been eyeing this one for awhile now


This one is in English and Spanish

Free Kindle books: 

It's been a while since I read a medieval romance


Bought on Kindle:

This was on sale for $1.99 and I've been wanting to read it forever.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.


What I reviewed and/or featured last week:


NOTHING! I took the week off. It felt good to be offline and spend time with family.


 Currently Reading:

I'm halfway through this one and it is really motivating me


Stop by and enter my giveaways!

Also posted on the right sidebar.



Hope you all have a great reading week.

  1. I can't believe the year is just about over. I hope the changes in your life are all good ones.

    You got a nice variety of books - I'm sure there are quite a few winners there.

    Happy New Year!

    1. I know...every year I think that it went by so quickly. I believe the changes will be good this year because I'm ready for them. I can't wait to read my new books!

  2. How nice to spend time playing board games. We enjoyed that after the hurricane. (Sad it took such an event to get the family to play together.)
    Your list of books look like fun reading.
    Ah - another decluttering book. I spent part of yesterday clearing out a couple of bookshelves - that weren't being used for books.
    Happy New Year and Happy Reading!

    1. I LOVE playing board games with my kids. Clearing the house always makes me feel better. :-)

    1. Yes, how true! A memoir about settling in France sounds good to me too.

  4. I have also taken a couple of weeks off, it does one good just to clear the decks for a while and spend time with family. Our board games also came out of moth balls, as did the urge to have a really good clear out of the house, so perhaps I should be reading the same book as you right now!

    You have a great mix of bright and colourful book covers this week, with something for just about everyone. For me personally, 'The Chef's Secret' sounds totally captivating and I am sorely tempted to add it to my list.

    Thanks for sharing and I would like to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year :)

    1. I hate dusting knick knacks too, and this book is so motivating!

  10. CLUTTER FREE sounds like a great book for the new year! I could use some motivation to get rid of all my junk. Not books, of course, but other stuff ...

    Happy New Year!

  14. I'll look forward to seeing your thoughts on The Chef's Secret and the clutter book. I am trying to fit in reading the Sarah J Maas books. I've bought many of them on audio. Happy New Year! Anne - Books of My Heart
