The Sunday Salon (hosted by ReaderBuzz) is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Did:

Another very chilly week until Thursday when the temps reached the 40's. Monday through Wednesday were quiet for me, work, eat, sleep and repeat. Thursday, I worked a half day and I took advantage of that - I got a haircut (my first one in years!) and took my weekly trip to the library before settling in for an evening of drafting blog posts. Saturday, I worked and then unhauled some books at my local used bookstore. Sunday, I am going to get some housework done and read. 

What I Read:

A slower reading week for me. I ended up DNFing Nightmare before Kissmas by Sara Raasch, I just wasn't in the mood for capitalistic Christmas and wasn't feeling the narrating character. I finished a reread of The Long Game by Rachel Reid and loved it just as much as I did the first time. I also read Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe which I thought was very interesting. I am very close to finishing an ARC of Fallen by Ashley Warren. 

What I Checked Out From The Library:

I grabbed some interesting sounding novellas during my trip to the library: Psychopomp & Circumstance by Eden Royce and The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar.




Books I Bought:

None.

Total Goal for the year: Completed
Total Page goal for the year: Completed

    Wishing you and yours a very merry week!

Tell Me Something Tuesday & Top Ten Tuesday: Underrated Authors

  That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  December 2nd: Underrated Books & Authors Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. December 2nd: Freebie I decided to mix Tell Me Something Tuesday and Top Ten Tuesday and create a list of 10 underrated authors. I thought it would be a hard list to make but I read a lot of indie authors and I always feel like indie authors are super underrated. I tried to stick with authors who didn't have any books with more than 5,000 ratings on Goodreads but a couple with more than 5,000 but less than 10,000 might have snuck in. Have you read any of these authors? Let me know in the comments. 1....

Wednesday, I took my weekly trip to the library. Saturday and Sunday, I am going to read and rest as one last quiet weekend before the  holidays begin with Thanksgiving next week. What I Read: Big reading week for me...
