Welcome to the #SundayRoundup #51!!
Happy Sunday!
On the homefront:
All is well! I took Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. I unplugged and it felt good. I read almost a full book in the days time! It was We Sold Our Souls and started a new one! Everyone had a good Christmas and came to my house this year. Most years it is that way. But a few years were snap foos and we didn't get together. I made prime rib and my brother made stuffed shells. We have a few people that don't eat red meat. But overall it was a great day!
Things I know:
Nothing says Christmas like making cookies!
I made 6 different kinds this year!
School Front:
On Semester Break! I go back January 2nd.

How has your week been?
I've stayed busy blogging through the festive period and I'm pleased to have got a handful of book reviews done! It proves I can do it when I put my mind to it! I've been watching darts and cricket, Top Chef Canada and getting a decent bit of reading done so I can't complain!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I really need to start working on my reviews. It should really be a resolution of mine getting more reviews done and up on the blog. I am lazy as I love to read but don't write the reviews I need to.
DeleteI should try unplugging. I bet I could get a ton of reading done. I’m glad you had a good Christmas and got some books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Your books look tempting! Cookie baking sounds tempting, too, and it's been years since I baked.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the New Year, and I'm glad you had a good Christmas. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Nice book haul. I hope you love them all and enjoy your little break before the new semester begins.
ReplyDeletePrime Rib and Stuffed Shells sounds so yummy! I love baking, I do it with my mom during Christmas we make a ton of cookies.

ReplyDeleteYay you met your challenge goal and got lots of nice books for Christmas, as well as family time AND reading time. My daughter doesn't eat red meat(or gluten) so I do lots of turkey, chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes.
