I definitely want to read and . Fortunately, my library had most of the books I want to read. I added like 17 books to my wishlist!

Megan wrote: "Just a quick mention, if you pick a book from the bad list could you put who recommended it? I've got a second to look today but if I'm doing this quickly before leaving I won't have time to search..."

OK. I didn’t realize we needed that.

Yes, Laura, I am excited the goodreads awards are out! I am like you, Brooke, and have read most of the Mystery Thriller books. I will definitely put the others on my shelves. I’d like to read more fiction, so will mark those too.

I totally agree that was one of the best fantasy of 2019. But don’t think was good at all!

I think most of your predictions were right, Brooke. Good instincts!

Mini challenge: book is on bad book list, Anita Blake series

Brooke - You convinced me to try Popsugar challenge too.

LOL I think I changed half my books last year. I decided not to fill out some of the prompts because they will be best done in 2020. But I love to plan. I just have to NOT read the books before 2020 begins.

It's fixed now.."

Have you started planning for ATY 2020? I have started my plan and am pretty much obsessed right now. One more thing to keep me busy and distracted! LOL

Wowza!! Over 3000 pages! I thought that was a typo at first, Megan.

I’m heading out for the day so I’ll post some of my books now, like Brooke.

The Stranger Inside, Live to Tell, Wolf Rain, Guilty Pleasures, Raven Black, Boundary Broken

I’ll probably read more but this is a start.

Should we post a few books we are thinking of reading next week to see if any stories can be made from them? That’s all I can think of. Of course, if you guys, Laura and Megan, come up with something better, let us know!

Yeah, this mini challenge does seem a bit tricky. Not sure how to plan for part one. I looked through the bad books thread and there are a few books I can read. I just got book 1 of Anita Blake series from the library. I was going to read it next week anyway. Good riming!

Linda enjoy your weekend in Milan!"

I have 2 books to post now. I will probably finish 1 more this weekend.

Brooke wrote: "When he went out, he kept jumping in the air - all 4 legs at the same time - and barking at the snow. I have video on my old phone - it is hilarious."

Brooke - So funny! Pets really do make life so much better!

Linda, have a great time in Milan!

Laura wrote: "Ohh, ha, keep your snow Geri."

The best thing about the snow is how much my girl cat (GiGi) loves it. I woke her up from her nap today so she could enjoy the show. She is fascinated with big fat flakes. She jumps pretty high trying to catch them and bangs into the patio door. She is entertained and I am entertained by her! LOL

It’s cold and snowing here. Probably won’t have many trick or treaters today. The snow is accumulating on the trees. They look very pretty. Very winter wonderland!
