My goal this year is to read down the books I already have. This will be very hard to do as I love to go to the library and I absolutely adore bookstore. I picked up so many used books while I was on vacation last summer and I know I will continue to raid book stores or library sales.
I also like KMM fever series.
Pamm.......you should join Linda and me on our re-read adventure. Actually, I've already started. I'm bouncing between The Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter and Fever by Karen Marie Moning.
Mari, Mari, Mari....I'll be coming up the rear eating your dust!!
Major Mistake! I told my sister what BB is doing with her stash & I think she's thinking I'm going to do the same!!! HAH! I might winnow it down some, but there are many other organizational things ahead of the books! I almost have the dvds done, with a huge amount to watch & decide if I want to keep them...and where to put them...the dvd shelving space is just about full & I still have about 30 dvds to get in there that I do want to keep! I've mentioned that she doesn't reread much; have I mentioned that she doesn't rewatch much either??? We are so different in so many ways, but in others, very similar...I'm just having trouble remembering how at the moment!

I've actually taken 4 SUV loads of books to Hospice. It was hard to part with some even though I've got them on Kindle but I put on my big girl panties and did it. I'm done with my "inside the house books' weeding. This AM my husband and I went through his side of the closet and bundled up tons of shirts and shoes he'll never wear again. You tend to keep things thinking you'll loose weight and be able to wear again, hardly ever happens. Now the back of my SUV is full again... I think my reading goal, instead of how many books I'll read, should be making myself not do so many rereads. I'll fail so I won't make that a goal! I'm gonna stick with my Jayne Castle/ JAK rereads. I'm on Zinnia, St Helens Book 2 and next is Orchid, St Helens Book 3. Didn't get much reading done yesterday - go 49ers!

Yep, time to review the closets again for clothes. Plus, I realized the other day, since I'm giving mostly gift cards for Christmas anymore, only a couple things each year that get wrapped, so I'm pretty much reusing small bags, I need to "gift" my Christmas gift wrap. I have one bin of bags & boxes (all larger), 1 bin of wrap (folded & rolled) and 1 large bin of bows. I used 1 bow this year on the one thing that I used rolled wrap on. Maybe one of my friends kids can use the stuff as they're still wrapping for their kids... And there's a bin of regular gift wrap for birthdays, etc & the last 2 years, I've pretty much given money...Adding to the organizational lists....
Did you know, NR does this once a year (January) and does the whole house! And in about a week or two! I sure love her books, but some days, I don't think I love her that much! Of course, her h's always accomplish so much every day, etc; I think they come by it naturally! Could get very depressing, if I let it! I think I'll go put my feet up & stitch for a while!
Hey, I did review a few books this morning; glanced over & thought, I have that in ebk, so checked. Yep, & that other one just below so there went 2 bks into the discard pile, then noticed 3 others that I knew I had in ebk. I removed a whole 5 books this morning!!! Wow!
But I have finished reorganizing the dvds, & started to gather the Christmas decorations so I've made a bit of a dent. Long ways to go! But that's okay; not like I have a report or something to do for work!!!

Sounds like you're on a roll! Isn't it wonderful not to have to worry about what you have to do for work???
