December 2023
December was such a busy month. It was fun but I have to admit that I am glad that it is over. I was so incredibly busy that it took a toll on me both physically and mentally. We had several family gatherings to celebrate the holiday and my younger daughter came to visit for a week. I worked my regular full-time job and then worked about 25 hours per week at my part-time job. I probably shouldn’t have been surprised to end the month feeling a little sick. I think that I was more worn down than anything else.
I am still doing my best with Instagram. I am posting less often than I would like but still having fun with it. I am ending the month with 6,371 followers (I post this stat for myself to track my growth).

How was your month? Do you have any reading or blogging goals for January?
December is always a busy month. I can only imagine how hectic it must have been for you especially with two jobs. Wishing you a great 2024.
That is a tough month and yet you still read great books, had some family time and did more for Instagram than I ever will do in cute photos.
Ohh I want to try Bride
You are a powerhouse, Carole. Working all those hours and still able to get a bunch books read. Wow! My daughter wants to read the Hazelwood book. I am seeing great buzz for it. I adored The Bright Spot. I hope you do too!
Yeah, December is a rough month on my husband when he works the UPS holiday hours so I get exactly what you feel like when its over. Glad you enjoyed your daughter’s visit and had some fun family gatherings. Hopefully, January will be slightly restful. Nice reading numbers.
Have a good month, Carole!
Oh… I have Bride and I will read it later this month. I’m super excited for it.
December is always such a busy month, isn’t it? It looks like you were able to fit in some great reading though! I hope you have a great January, Carole!
I ended December feeling exhausted and I don’t have nearly as much going on as you do! I’m curious about the Ali Hazelwood. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read by her and really want to read more. Hope you’re having a great start to January!
