I had nothing on my calendar this week except a couple of lunches out, and my nephews engagement party. I did a lot of my Christmas baking, finished raking leaves in my yard, wrapped Christmas gifts, addressed Christmas Cards etc, all while listening to books. It was a bumper crop of audiobooks for me this week.
What I Read/Listened to this week: I was able to read or listen to 14 books this week. ๐ฎIย read/listened to 10 that were on my TBR and 5 that were not on the TBR I set last Monday, so I guess I was a bit of a mood reader this week.ย This week I read/listened to 10 novels, and 6 novellas/short stories, and have posted all myย reviews. If you click on the cover, it will take you to my review.
What Am I Reading Now
ย ย ย
What Will I Read Next? I’m not sure what I will read next, but my TBR has lots of choices. I have a couple of blog tours coming up, so need to read those books first. I am well into my 20 Books For Christmas, with two more from my original list to read. I will also read a couple of Christmas ARCs. I have a couple of challenges that I am trying to finish (Finish The Series, Buzzwordathon, Non-Fiction) so will try and read the final books to finish up. I am also trying really hard to catch up on the D.I. Kim Stone series, so have a couple on my list this week. Although I won’t read or listen to all of these books this week, I will try and choose from this list.
So that is my plan for this week, we shall see how well I stick to it.ย
What did you read over the past week andย what are you reading next?

I love that you are able to fit in so much reading/listening! I live vicariously through you with every post, Carla. I am looking forward to reading The Bookshop of Secrets at some point. I hope you enjoy it! Have a great week!

Thanks Wendy. I probably won’t get as many read this week as I have something going on pretty much every day, but I will sacrifice my reading time to spend time with friends and family. ๐ I hope to listen to it this week, but who knows if I will get to it. Have a wonderful week as well.

Thanks Wendy, I listened to a lot of audiobooks this week, but there were a lot of novellas. I would love to be caught up on all my reviews by Christmas, but we shall see.

That is why I have so many books on my TBR shelf Deb. I can’t resist a good cover and synopsis.

I can’t multitask like that. You are an energizer bunny rabbit (or would that be reindeer this month?)

I have always been a multi-tasker, so it is easy for me. Hmmm, maybe an energizer old dog. I’m not quick enough to be a bunny or reindeer, but I do keep busy.

I love audiobooks when I’m behind! You can double chores, exercise, driving with reading. Enjoy your books, Carla! Looks like a lot to love here. ๐

Thanks, Rachel. It was my eye issues that got me into audiobooks, but it is the flexibility that has kept me going with them.

Lots of them were novellas, so not as many as it looks, Nicki. Alfie the Cat is a series, but I haven’t read any yet. I will see how this one is, then maybe read the rest.
