Three Things...

1.  Happy New Year!!! Yes, I know that I'm a week late, but it couldn't be helped. I kicked off 2018 with the flu - ugh.  I've been sick all week and its been the worst.  Luckily, I am finally starting to feel like myself.  Fingers crossed that this flu has finally left me.  Now, I can say that the only positives from being sick are:  I did get plenty of rest, I lost five pounds, and I have read so many books (a book a day to be precise).  So, all in all, it wasn't a completely horrible week.

2.  Bookish goals for 2018.  I have none.  I just plan on reading.  I want to read whatever catches my fancy. I want to read the books on my shelves. I want to read anything and everything.  I just want to read as much as I can this year.  Fingers crossed to keeping my reading mojo going all year long.

By the by, here are the books I've read so far in 2018 (reviews to come):

3.  Blogging in 2018. I just want to keep on blogging. I want to write about about books. And I want to write about anything that interests me. I just want to write.

Hope 2018 is a fantastically bookish year for us all - cheers!!

p.s.  Here are the two books I ended 2017 on (reviews to come):
