The First Sunday of 2021 is Here!

I am kicking off the new year by participating in The Sunday Post:  


The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted here @ Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.  See rules here: Sunday Post Meme


To recap, I have a lovely pile of new books to start my new year-


Look at that literary goodness! 

The first book I will be reading is Killer Chardonnay by Kate Lansing.  It's a Cozy Mystery that takes place at a winery in Colorado.  This book is the January reading selection for The Cozy Mystery Book Club and there will be a live stream discussion of the book on the last Tuesday of January at 7pm EST. 

Because one book club is not enough, I will also be reading The Midnight Library I am trying to decide if I am going to read this or listen to it.  I listened to a sample of the audiobook and the audio didn't grab me, so I'm not sure if I want to use my Audible credit on the book. Decisions, decisions.  

Speaking of Audible, I recently listened to one of the Audible Originals.  It's called After the Fairy Tale and is a great listen for anyone who has watched a season or more of The Bachelor franchise.  This story is a fictional account of what happens after the final rose when the happy couple is separated for several months. If you have a membership this title is free.  This is different than a standard audiobook written by one reader this is a full audio production with sound effects and a full cast of characters.  Think of this as a lifetime movie for your ears.  The story and the acting are very engaging.  If you are looking for a distraction this is it! 

Coming up this week:
A review of Scones & Scofflaws by Jane Gorman 
I'll be sharing a recipe that went over very well at my house from Real Simple Magazine. 
Celebrating National Bubble Bath Day

I've heard such good things about The Midnight Library. I hope you enjoy whichever version you decide to go with. It's always great to try a new recipe and have it be a hit!

It looks like you have some good reading ahead. I listened to The Midnight Library and really enjoyed it. There were parts that got a bit slow, but for the most part, it was very original and interesting. It got me thinking about my life. Happy reading.
