I'd love to hear your thoughts on H Is for Hawk and Life in the Garden.

Yes to less decision fatigue!

Tresta, a whole month for a slow wind-up for the new year--fabulous idea! (And thanks for including my book in your re-read list!)

Yay for the grandson(s) year! Hoping you can take more hikes, too.

I love this idea of taking the whole month to ease into the new year. I didn't even realize it, but that's what I've been doing! And thanks for sharing what's worked for you this past year. I always love finding new stuff by taking advantage of other ppl's experience! Happy New Year, Tresta!

Grandkids caught me by surprise as well! The count is at 6 now and I am still finding it to be surreal.

Enjoy Pilgrim at Tinker Creek! I envy you the joy of that first-time read!

It’s actually a re-read for me, but I’m enjoying it again!

I spy a book with a yellow flower on the cover ☺️

Also, I am reviewing Jody's book at my Poetry for Life in a couple of weeks.

I too am taking a longer January to transition. More about that soon, with that special group of ladies that involves you.

Also, "H Is for Hawk" is one of only two books I read while rewriting mine.
