Weekly Update for December 8, 2024
Welcome to my weekly update for December 8, 2024! My husband and I picked up lingering colds the week of Thanksgiving so we've been taking it easy for a couple of weeks. We're planning to start exploring again this weekend. There's so much to see around Arizona! One of our first excursions when we arrived in the Phoenix area was to Lost Dutchman State Park. We hiked to the base of these rocks and back down. When I flew home to NC a few weeks ago, my husband decided to hike/climb to the very top of the rocks (Named the Superstition Mountains). I knew that was more than my creaky knees could handle! Posted: Sign ups for my 2025 Books in Translation Reading Challenge and 2025 Southern Literature Reading Challenge. You can read one book for each of these challenges and be successful or you can choose a different level to make it more difficult if you'd like. I've pinned the images in my sidebar for easy reference. Just click the button and you'll be taken to the challenge page. I hope you'll join me! Read: I was almost finished with a couple of these last week and a week of lying low gave me plenty of time for reading. Would you believe that all of these links go to my reviews on GoodReads?
