Welcome to my weekly update for January 25, 2016!
I hope those of you affected by winter storm Jonas made it through in good shape! We got about 6″ off of it, which is a pretty good amount for us. The office was closed on Friday so I was able to stay home and read and watch the snow come down. Those are snowy days I don’t mind!

I need to finish Journey so I can move on to some non-fiction. Somehow I chose it as my before-bed reading instead of my usual non-fiction and now I’m stalled out on it.

Glad you got to stay home and enjoy the snow. We didn't get any snow here for which I am very thankful!
I loved Winter and am on the wait list for the audio version which I hope to listen to later this year. I want to read that Jennifer Donnelly series too. Have a great week!
I love reading in the rain, which we have had all week, so I can imagine how it would be tucked away watching the snow fall…and reading.
Enjoy your books…I'm curious about Orphan X.

The Tea Rose looks good and I want to read the Lunar Chronicles, if I can ever get to it-LOL, nice week for you!! thebestbasicblogger.blogspot.com/2016/01/its-mondaywhat-are-you-reading7.html
Wow that is quite a bit of snow! And you are right, snow is best enjoyed from indoors, with a book and a warm beverage. 🙂
I enjoyed Shotgun Lovesongs, but wasn't a fan of his newest book. I can go either way with that author. 🙂 Stay warm!
Would love to sit inside and watch the snow and read all day. Will let you know about the kitchen! It's been a hard day's work, so if the results are good then that is good. I was going to do a big renovation then decided to just paint.
Snow days are good! I remember hearing good things about shotgun Lovesongs- hope it's good- and while I love the old Journey to the Center of the Earth movie, I'm not sure if i would enjoy the book. It's hard to finish a book sometimes if it's dragging…
Glad you are staying warm 🙂
Have a great reading week, I liked Shotgun Love Songs
