For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends. Unlike last year (which was a party of three - rather pitiful), everyone was in attendance this year. (Price of admission? Fully vaccinated. And thankfully, everyone is.) I have hosted at my house the last couple years and, while it's exhausting, it was also a fantastic day with family and food and good times.

Last Sunday we spent the day getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. That included putting up and decorating two Christmas trees. We were so wiped out by the end of the day but we also had some pretty great views to show for our efforts. In a month that has been incredibly stressful and overwhelming, my pink tree is bringing me serious joy. :)

   

Although I managed to take off on Wednesday, I still ended up doing some work from home. It was aggravating stuff that I should have been notified of a week ago but instead was dropped on my lap the afternoon before a long holiday weekend. You know, when everyone has the day off, or left the office early, and isn't thinking about work for the next several days? Yeah, that was super annoying, and there was basically nothing I could do about it at that point. Not a fun feeling but I set it aside and will have to deal with it on Monday.

On Friday I was quite the hermit and never left the house. Thursday exceeded my limit of peopling and I needed the quiet time. I holed up in my library and decided to rearrange all the bookshelves. And that snowballed into doing a massive book unhaul. By the time I was done I had pulled 79 books from my shelves. Books I have read and don't feel the need to keep, or books that I haven't read but have lost interest in. The Husband was kind enough to box them all up and take them to the used bookstore for me. Now someone else can enjoy the books, I have more room on my shelves, and a little cash in my pocket. Everyone wins! :) 

In case you missed it, I'm taking part in the Thankful for Books Giveaway Hop! You can win a free book of your choice (up to $20). There are two days left to enter so click here for your chance to win.

This week's song is a total 80's cheese-fest. The late 80's were chock full of them: cheesy songs, cheesy videos, cheesy dancing. It was glorious. LOL I Like It (1989) by Dino is such a prime example. Enjoy!

Not Until You (Second Time Around #3) by Corinne Michaels - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My reading is still practically at a standstill and the only reading that did happen was thanks to audiobooks. Better luck next week... maybe?

Layla by Colleen Hoover

One Christmas Wish by Brenda Jackson

If I Only Knew by Corinne Michaels

Reading: Technically I'm still reading Layla but I finally had to set it aside to start on One Christmas Wish, a review book that is due soon. Hopefully I'll get back to it very soon because I was totally enjoying the creep-factor in Layla. 

Listening: In my continuing effort to finish up series that I've had in work, I'm currently listening to If I Only Knew, the fourth and final book in the Second Time Around series by Corinne Michaels.
