BOOKS
I have started reading “11/22/63” by Stephen King. It is very good, and it is taking me a long
time to read it. But I suppose it doesn’t help that I’m also reading “A Year
Without Autumn” by Liz Kessler at the same time. I probably won’t finish King until next year
because I have my Christmas reads coming up.
It’s OK, it is on my Nook, so it will be there.
I can’t list my Christmas reads yet, because I’m not quite
sure what I will be reading. A few books
are coming due from the library, but those are the only ones I do know.
- Christmas at Harrington’s by Melody Carlson
- The Snow Angel by Glenn Beck
Others that will be up soon are:
- The Christmas Shoppe by Melody Carlson
- The Christmas Singing (Audio) by Cindy Woodsmall
The ones waiting in the wings and will probably NOT get read
this year
- Angels in the Snow by Melody Carlson
- The Gift of Christmas Present by Melody Carlson
- The Christmas Hope by Donna VanLiere
- The Christmas Note by Donna Van Liere
- The Man Who Invented Christmas by Les Standiford (non-ficiton)
- A Christmas Star by Thomas Kinkade
- An Irish Country Christmas by Patrick Taylor
These are just a few that are waiting in the wings. The only
one that I see getting read this year from this batch is #5. It is a
non-fiction book about Charles Dickens and the Christmas Carol story and how it
revived Christmas. I can’t help it, I
love non-fiction.
I love it so much that it takes me away from fiction
reading. So my goals for next year
include:
- Reading less non-fiction, so I can read more fiction
- Read what is on my shelves (hard copies, Kindle, Nook)
MOVIES
There is no need to give synopsis’. They are holiday movies,
feel good stuff.

The REST
I started taking art classes. The last time I had any formal
instruction was in High School, and that was a long time ago. So you might see some stuff here from time to
time that I am working on.
My son should be home Wednesday evening. He’ll leave on Sunday. But that is OK,
because he’ll be back for Christmas and for a whole month.
I haven’t started Christmas shopping yet, but there is very
little to do. I plan to start next Saturday.
