Sunday Post, Sunday Salon, Mailbox Monday and It's Monday What Are You Reading? Dec 27 Edition


Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share our 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.


Sunday Salon hosted by Readerbuzz is simply a place for us to link up and to share what we have been doing during the week. Sunday Salon is a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

Wow, it's finally the last week of 2020. What will 2021 hold for us? I'm making plans to keep myself busy in accomplishing the goals that will keep me strong and focused. Look for that post of new goals in January.


I'm participating in First Book of the Year again. I've chosen a  book that I hope will reflect what my reading will be like this upcoming year. Check back on Friday to see what that book will be.


While spending time on the Internet I've discovered some great gift boxes. I decided to buy the Buy Local Box: Montreal to support local businesses and to give back to my community. This is a first edition box. From each box sold, 50% of the sales is donated to "Dans la Rue" charity that helps homeless and at-risk youth. For this box, 17 generous local businesses have donated their products, coupons and time to create this inspiration box. My daughter and I are now looking for recipes to use these great products.

Hope you are all well. Stay safe and take care of each other.


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.

  6. I will be joining in for First Book again this year. I decided to read the book I've been holding back from 2020, not wanting to taint it with the negativity from this year!

    I like the idea of buying a gift box that supports local businesses and helps charities.

    I need to look into Think Like a Monk.

    1. I think we need to support our local stores. This pandemic is so hard on them economically.
