Hi there, I'm checking in. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
I hope it's not to late to add another resolution to the list. If so please disregard this resolution :)I want to 1 to 2 buddy reads per month. I have fun reading with a buddy and it helps get my TBR down.
I like that resolution, Susan!My TBR list tends to stay constant with all that I read, then add more. ;)
My TBR is consistent too. If I wouldn't add more to it...lol....RIGHT...I love finding and adding books. It's my addiction and I think it's a great addiction to have personally.
I totally agree!!! It's quite fun, actually. I think my personal TBR list grows by at least 2 books for every 1 I read...

I'm not sure what I'll be reading next. I'll try to keep my reads updated here.
I should have my first book done today or tomorrow. :)
I've started
I'm not sure where it will go yet.
Hi Wolf! I don't think I've actually met/talked to you before.
I hit a little slump after the holidays....it wasn't so much a slump as it was just a busy time of year for me (for everyone really) but then my son and his wife had their baby on Dec. 27th and she wasn't due until Jan. 12th and needless to say we were not prepared. I was reading but not at the pace I normally do and I was frustrated. I do believe I am back on track and my excitement for reading has returned and I am excited to get going once again.
Just thought I would say sorry for only getting one book in so far and not checking in on time. I'm usually right on that and I wasn't.
