A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. I love this meme, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!
Well it's been a huge week but I got very little read and very little done on my blog ... my bad. We are having a mostly handmade Christmas this year, making candles, body products, vinegars, vanilla extract and other goodies is fun but time consuming so you do need to be organised a little earlier ... none of my usual last minute panic ;)
This month I've been book blogging for 5 years, phew, so if I get my act together I might organise a giveaway to to celebrate that auspicious milestone and later in the week I'll share the recipe for Faith's Custard & White Chocolate Cookies (from Outback Dreams by Rachael Johns) ... yummy!

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful reading week! The Brunette Librarian's Blog
5 years?! That is so cool-I'm coming up on my fourth blogoversary but am not planning to make a big deal out of it or anything though I will have to for the fifth. I love the sound of your homemade Christmas-I'm brainstorming ideas for my coworkers that will be cost-efficient...
ReplyDeleteFive years! How impressive! I love the idea of your home made Christmas, I;m usually doing the last minute panicking though :)
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
Oh yum, so want to try baking those biscuits.... er um.... I mean cookies! Have noticed around that many have enjoyed The Husband's Secret. Another to go on my TBR list.
ReplyDelete5 years - woohoo!!! I didn't get past the 1st book of the Iron Fe series, but looks like you're enjoying it so might give it another go with book 2.

Tanya I only finished The Iron King in the 1st series and I definitely wasn't a fan but surprisingly I'm really enjoying the spin off series
DeleteCongrats on the five years.
ReplyDeleteI do so like the look of a Divided Inheritance.
I think I just hit 6 years this past September ... I kept forgetting to blog about it!! LOL!!! I am excited about this handmade Christmas .. candles eh???? YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you loved The Husband's Secret! It was a favorite of mine for this year.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the five years! My first blog was started five years ago, but I didn't do much with it until a year later...when I added a bunch of other blogs. So I can really only say I've been blogging for four years.
Those goodies look awesome!
Thanks for visiting my blog...and enjoy your week.
I loved The Husband's Secret, too. Have you read anything else by her?
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Congrats on 5 years!!!

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
Uh oh, I just got The Longest Ride on audio and you don't give me much hope. I have refused to read NS for years, the narrators are a couple of my favorites which is why I said yes to the audio.
ReplyDelete5 years- awesome! Thats so cool. Iron Traitor seems very popular, and The White Princess is supposed to be good too. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tuesday and I am reading "Wurthering Heights" by Emily Bronte. I am reading my way through the "Books You Must Read" list.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the anniversary!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo on 5 years! Lift a cookie to 5 more :)
