New Year's Reading Goals

 

How are you doing? How was your New Year’s Eve? Did you do anything fun?

Our New Year’s celebration was pretty chill. We took the girls to the local children’s museum where they had a party during the day. It was themed like Times Square. There was a DJ hosting a dance party with bubbles, sock skating in Central Park, a photo booth, a “tattoo” booth, and games. The girls had a great time. Then, we ordered Olive Garden to go, because eating at any restaurant with two little kids isn’t relaxing. Everyone was asleep before midnight. I guess that means we faced the new year refreshed.

Hubby ended up taking Little Bock 1 to the local ice rink to ice skate. It was really cold so Little Bock 2 and I watched for a few minutes before heading into the chalet to warm up. LB1 had a great time on the ice. There were a bunch of other kids skating, too. It seemed that more time was spent falling on the ice than actual ice skating.

Thank you for all the emails. I’ll give you a quick update on everything. My knee is healing well from the surgery. I got released to go to work with no running, jumping, or squatting. That is hard because I have two little active kids. Charlie healed really well. We took his stitches out on Sunday, and the wound has closed nicely.

On the writing front, I am working on Cassandra’s story. I finally am making some headway on it. The problem was that I tried to use a different way to write the story and I got stalled out. So I went back to my normal method and now have written more words. It is coming and I can’t wait to share it with you. It isn’t ready for the newsletter, yet. I don’t write the book in order so I can’t give out the chapters as I go. It is more like a puzzle. I know where they need to go, I know how this is going to work, and I know what happens. It is a matter of putting it all together.

That brings me to the New Year. Did you make any resolutions or goals for your reading? Is there anything you are excited to read? Please comment or email me. I’d love to hear your goals and any books you are excited about!

I made my goal to read 50 fiction books by the end of the year. I don’t have anything pressing to read. I went last week with some paperbacks I wanted to re-home to the local used bookstore. I traded them in for store credit and bought a few that interested me.

That’s all I have for now. I hope you stay warm and dry. Hugs,

Allie
