Book Chatter 
I love these year end posts. I noticed that about 1/3 of your books are ones I’ve read as well in the past few years. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2019!
The end of the year stuff snuck up on me but last week I set all my templates up so I could fire them off in an organized way. Helped tremendously. I also had to finish Becoming quickly in order to include it. Happy New Year!
I have read about 10 of these!
I’m rubbing off on you or you, I. LOL.
Probably both!
Great list! I just watched a few episodes of the tidying woman’s show. It’s Interesting and has me thinking about if all those old computer cables spark joy!
I haven’t watched the show yet but I plan to. Maybe, tomorrow. Ugh. Cable cords and old phones and chargers. I have a lot of manuals too. Junk.
And if I toss all of the clothes that do not being me joy, I’d have one pair of jeans and a cardigan. LOL.
Great list. You did have a lot of great reads. Many I hope to get to.
I think I read about 80 books last year, which is a low for me. And many of those were kids books as I strove to help my daughter with her reading, which she’s been struggling with.
