It has been forever since I did an update, and I didn't get one done over the weekend, so I figured I'd go ahead and drop one today. I haven't had a chance to do an update since Christmas or New Year's and want to make sure all my friends out there in blogging/booktube/instagram land know how much I appreciate their support and how much I look forward to continued interaction in 2024!
We had a wonderful, low-key holiday here at the farm. Zeke enjoyed his first Christmas and Apollo enjoyed sharing the festivities with his new brother. Both Mr. Barb and I were off for 11 days, so we shared lots of good food, video game playing, reading and watching movies/tv including our favorite Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy. I did get some books as well as a gift card to Amazon from Mr. Barb and I look forward to reading them all.
I managed to do a lot of reading over the break and switched to holiday horror around mid-December as I really needed a break from rom-com/romance. Now it's 2024 and I have so many books I want to get to and I want to read them all now! Here is a look at either what I'm currently reading or what might be up next. My Life as a White Trash Zombie is for a read along and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've missed urban fantasy so much. The Shuddering is this month's pick for a horror book club over on Facebook and Hunt on Dark Waters is one I grabbed from the library and for some reason, it's really calling to me.
I'm glad you had a nice holiday season. Great assortment of books! I'm also missing urban fantasy and will have to pull some off TBR mountain when I get a chance to read something of my own. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful holiday. I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying WTZ! It's horror lite. I don't do real horror. I read last week and it's always a relief for me when I enjoy a series I picked but haven't read yet. I really like it so far. I hope you'll be able to join the chat with all us weirdos. Everyone is nervous the first time.
