Christmas! I love this time of year. I hope that you have had the chance to slow down, be with your people, eat lot’s of yummy foods and savor the season and Jesus. Comfort and Joy. Now I have God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen running through my head. If you want to see a cool version by Pentatonix go here. It’s awesome.

I have carved very little time out in the last few weeks to read. Spending time with the ones you love can seriously cut into reading time. But, my books aren’t going anywhere and my sweet, sweet family will not always be here for me to love on. Priorities people. I do have them!

I did however sneak in a few minutes or twenty every night before I fell asleep. Bedtime. It’s for reading, right!? Here’s what I’ve been reading.

FICTION

Year One by Nora Roberts

I have been impatiently waiting for this book to come out. You know my love of a good Nora Roberts book. I don’t want to give ANYTHING away, so I’ll be very vague. First. I liked it, and I will go so far to say it’s not her typical book. I will also say that I thought parts of it felt…..rushed. I’m going to reserve a true judgement of it and reread it in the deep winter when I am avoiding scrubbing my floors. I’ll hide in my room with this book and then decide.

PURSE BOOK

Living Well, Spending Less by Ruth Soukup

If you spend any time waiting, you need a purse book. Standing in line at the post office, at the grocery store, in the dentist’s office, on the metro, any time you are just waiting, whip out your purse book and take yourself away to another place entirely. Yes, you can mindlessly check Facebook, or twitter, but wouldn’t you rather be in a book?

I am still keeping this one in my purse. It’s so good!

COOKBOOK

The Bread Machine Gourmet by Shea MacKenzie

I tried out a new recipe on my unsuspecting family at Christmas. It was good, but I think it’s needs a lot of tweaking. It was not through the fault of the book though. There are some amazing looking recipes in this little book. You should check it out.
