Weekly Book Recap #93

This past week has been all about dismantling and storing the holiday decorations and getting the house back in order.  While I've made good progress on those fronts, it hasn't left much time for reading.  The return of a few favorite television programs (most notably Downton Abbey) has also cut into my reading time.  During the coming week I plan to fine tune my routine to create a better balance.

The weather has been bitterly cold here and we had two dustings of snow during the week, with more in the forecast.  The snow has been very manageable--the light fluffy kind that disappears quickly from the roads and sidewalks.  I don't mind this kind of snow at all, but I am not a fan of the arctic blast.  How many days until spring???


Here's my second recap of the new year, which is being shared on these blogs:
