Month in Review: January 2017

How is it that January is already over? This month passed rather quickly, but it was a busy month! I’m in the middle of training for a BIG walk – I’m doing the Challege Walk MS in Savannah, GA the first weekend in March – it’s a three-day, 50 mile walk. Since I’m not really a music fan, I tend to listen to audio books when I walk, so during my long training walks, I’ve gotten in lots of audio-time! We are in the process of setting up a home office in the small room upstairs – this is something we have been saying we would do forever! I found a desk set at IKEA and now I just have to decide on a paint color – there’s a reason why every other room in my house is ivory 😉

Here are my reading stats for January!

    Dang girl, great reading month!! I love audio books for all kind of things, cooking, cleaning, getting dressed/makeup. I much prefer listening over TV.
    Good luck training, and I love Savannah, the Book Festival is in two and a half weeks….we are going back!

    Mmm those audiobooks sure help boost the stats. I have been on the sideline about The Shadow Sister as I didn't like the narrator in one of the others. However seeing you liked it I think I will go the audio way.
