This month I focused on two audiobooks, The Beginning of Everything and The Plan Commences, both by Kristen Ashley. They are the first two installments in The Rising Series and there are two more to go. They're both pretty long but amazing, intense, and elaborate. I'm very much enjoying the series. I've got one review shared and just finished The Plan Commences so hopefully that one will be up in January.

things-to-note
We had a fantastic Christmas. All my kids were home with their significant others so we had a full house. It was awesome! All the food, all the gifts, all the time and fun spent together, I loved it all. It was truly amazing! Now the house is back to normal and I'm looking forward to a new year.

I've been taking stock of how I read, how I do things blog and social media-wise, and how I've evolved and adapted the last 6 years I've been book blogging. I've also been thinking about what else I'd like to do and share (because I actually do more than read, lol!) and what I want to focus on moving forward. I love to blog and share the book love but I have to make it work for me. A plan of attack is in motion. Stay tuned!
