Where did last week go?! Thankfully I’m feeling caught up in all things blog related and most things Christmas related.
I signed up for Sheila’s First Book of the Year – 2016. I did it last year and enjoyed being part of the meme and seeing what everyone was reading at the start of the new year. My first book is by one of my favorite authors. I’ll post about it on January 1st. I hope you’ll consider joining in the fun.
Book arrivals: (linked to Mailbox Monday)
- Christmas at Rosie Hopkins’ Sweetshop by Jenny Colgan (purchased)
- The Christmas Pearl by Dorothea Benton Frank (purchased)
- Angels Burning by Tawni O’Dell (a surprise – possible US giveaway in January)
Last week on Bookfan:
- Spotlight/US Giveaway: Beatrice and Benedick by Marina Fiorato

Looks like some holiday themed reads there, but Angels Burning has me intrigued.
