Whew. Out with the old and in with the new!
I'm turning to reading as much more of the focus of, well, everything! I work, take care of the kids and house, and read. Yup. That's everything. And I'm good with it.
Last year I believe I finished a grand total of 87 books. Way up from my 40-something in 2018. My goal for 2020 is pretty much to keep reading. I'm starting strong and have finished one novel (The Rules of Magic) and one picture book (Fly, Fly Again) so far. I gave them both 5/5 stars, so the year is off to a great start!
Today I'm joining up with Kimberly, the Caffeinated Reviewer for her weekly Sunday Post. Lots of fun blogs to check out - you should stop by.

Enjoy your week, and thanks for sharing. Thanks for visiting my blog.
It sounds like your 2020 has gotten off to a good start! I am eager to read The Rules of Magic. I really enjoyed Practical Magic when I read it years ago. I hope you enjoy your new books! This One Summer is one I've been curious about and I keep hearing great things about Ninth House. Have a great week!
Happy New Year! I hope you have fun reading more books this year.
