It's Monday and I have a winner!


Hello bibliophiles! Welcome to December, where you can officially play Christmas music every day with no shame....is that just me? This week has been less eventful (thank goodness) than the last one. We are excited for David's fifth birthday which is coming up on Tuesday. I have no idea how he is turning five already. On his actual birthday, we will be taking him out to dinner at IHOP (his choice) and then we will be having a party with the family on Saturday. 

I'm finally announcing who won the Double Blind giveaway. I am terribly behind with that because, well, there was a giant hurricane. That unfortunately made me forget about a thing or two. Anyway, the wonderful winner is Stephanie from On Page and Screen! Stephanie, check your email for a note from me!

    1. That sounds like a valid method of selection! I usually know exactly what I want to read next, but I find myself somewhat underwhelmed at the moment.

  2. The only one of those 3 I've read is I Know This Much is True. I love Wally Lamb! I liked The Awakening too except this is the book where I learned the important lesson to NEVER read introductions lest the fool who is writing it gives away the entire plot to the book before you even read it! Hope you have a fabulous reading week :)

    1. I love Wally Lamb too. I liked She's Come Undone and thought The Hour I First Believed was genius. I think I would pick his book in a heartbeat except it is a giant hardcover and I'm not sure I want to cart it around for the next week!

    1. I think I have it at least narrowed down to those two! I've read Lamb before, but this would be my first Ehrenrheich.

      Thanks for the birthday wishes - I think we will have a good day.
