Looking back over the past year I've actually done a little better than I originally thought. Despite my hit and miss approach with posting I still managed to do 32 blog posts since I started back in May so I'm kind of pleased with that.
As for my other writing... well the less said about that the better. The head as always is filled with ideas it's just finding the time to it. Cross fingers (and maybe toes too) that I can manage to actually get some writing done this year.
My other plans have on the whole worked out pretty well.
I've got the knitting bug back after a very lengthy time of not knitting and managed to finish 3 scarves and 2 pet blankets in the last few months. Go me.
As for my reading and watching well that's pretty much been a constant flow as it always is.
I managed to go on a overseas trip - to Canada no less. Which was amazing and which I will - finally - write a little bit about in some future posts. Had a 'big birthday', also amazing. Dedicated time to getting fitter, something I want to continue in the coming year and generally worked on being healthier overall, despite a few setbacks.
So how is 2017 shaping up so far...
My reading list is still looking kind of large. Every time I think I've finally gotten it under control I manage to find a huge pile of books I want to read. I've come to the conclusion that my TBR list is never going to be small. On the other hand I'm not stressing about it anymore and will just read when I feel like it and do other things when I feel like something different. Hopefully I'll manage to strike a healthier balance all round.
Christmas books are still currently my jam. What can I say except that I have a major weakness for them. There's something about snow and romance and Christmas that makes me go all warm and gooey.
1. Mistletoe on 34th Street / Lisa Dickenson
I just love the sound of this one about a girl who has never had a 'proper' Christmas and
ends up being stranded in New York City during the holiday season. Totally romantic.
2. Christmas under a starlit sky / Holly Martin
Another romantic sounding book and one that happens to be part of a series. You just
know already that I'm going to have to read the others.
There's snow on the cover. What more could you want?
Wacky families. We've all been there. So I'm pretty sure we can totally relate to Emily
who ends up bringing 'a fake' date to her family's Christmas.
Of course my reading list wouldn't be complete without some thrillers, sci-fi and weird non-fiction.
I love the premise of this. Very sci-fi but thrillery too. Just my sort of thing
I've been wanting to read this for absolutely ages. Finally it's arrived.
This also sounds awesome and very me.
Time travel and serial killers. Oh yeah I am so there.
Apparently living like a Dane is all the range. Personally I just liked the cover and the
socks.
10. A year in Palm Beach / Pamela Acheson
I haven't read a travel book in awhile but this sounds just the sort of thing I like
11. Cut the clutter
Once again I am always looking for inspiration
Another inspirational book. This one on knitting. I'm hoping something will say "knit me"
As for the rest of my plans
13. Write more.
This one is never going to go away
14. Declutter
This one is still going well. So far during my holiday break I've managed to clean out
the bathroom cabinets and our main wardrobe. Still there's plenty of other wardrobes
and drawers still to sort out
15. Gilmore Girls rewatch
I haven't got any other viewing plans at the moment other than rewatch Gilmore Girls
from the very beginning. Because yes I am one of the few people on the planet who
hasn't yet watched the Year in a Life episodes.
