Hello everyone! Hope you are keeping warm and are enjoying the Advent season. I’m currently sipping Bigelow’s Wild Blueberry with Açaí tea and it’s delicious.
I felt like chatting books today, so here I am! I’m slowly working on a list of my favorite 2021 books I’ve read to share at the end of December, so be looking for that soon. I’ve been mainly thinking about next years reading. I left Goodreads earlier this year and just use a beautiful journal to record my reading {also save them on Instagram which has been fun} and I love the analog sooo much better. Besides my Bible & devotional type books, I’m very much a mood/feelings reader. That’s also why I reread so much! I want to experience the same vibes of a favorite book all over again. It’s wonderful, comfortable, and I love the anticipation of knowing what’s in store. Are you a rereader? Each year, I don’t plan out my TBR list in advance except super loosely or have categories etc. I do sometimes join challenges, but use them for the categories more than timeframes or prizes. With that said, I’m joining a challenge through my favorite book tuber, Chantel Reads All Day. Follow that link to find out the details and get the printable if you so choose to join. Here’s my choices, so far, I may be switching this up!
Since taking this photo, I switched The Broken Way to December, took out 12 Rules for Life, and changed January to Out of the Silent Planet, which is also a reread. I’m needing help with the prompt for August. Can you help with a title that I may have on my extensive home shelf library? 😂 I have Farewell to Arms which I’ve never read, but not sure if I’ll like that? You can use the public library, but I’m trying to use books I own. Doesn’t this sound fun? 🥰♥️ Some of my children are joining me, too! I would love to hear what your plans are for reading next year or any books you are really looking forward to reading! 📚📚📚
A.M. Pine - Hearth Ridge Reflections 
Have you read Lewis’ Til We Have Faces? It’s a wonderful novel and would fit your August choice. 🙂

Sherry! Hi! How ARE you? 😄♥️ That’s a GREAT idea. I have read it, but it’s been awhile. Thank you. ♥️

I love the idea of the reading challenge. During the first lockdown, I broke my second-hand book buying addiction and haven’t really gone back to it. But the house is still full of unread books. A list might get me working through them, but I’m not sure I’d have the discipline to stick to it!
A book with a body-part in the title – blimey, at first I thought it would be easy to make a recommendation, but I’ve given it some thought and I’m coming up blank!

I know, I was SO struggling with that prompt! 😂Now I think I’m going to reread Till Will Have Faces or I have a children’s book with a skull in the title. 🤷🏻♀️😂

Oh – I didn’t think of internal parts! There must be lots of books with Heart in the title? And there’s a Will Self novel called ‘Liver’, but it’s one of the few of his that I haven’t read so I can’t recommend it.
