Reading Goals
I have been meaning to get more serious with the challenges they have each year in my Goodreads account. This year, I decided to give it my best shot.
The other day, I spent most of the morning cleaning up my Goodreads list of books. It’s hard to believe I’ve neglected to follow up on some of my books from 2017.
I had so much fun adding them to my physical list. I actually went a little overboard. I call it “Hold Happy at the Library.” Oops, a whole bunch of them came all at once.
PS. That little black ball of fur is one of my reading buddies, our sweet Jeter. It’s cold here in the Midwest so she was happy to find this warm little spot of sunshine.
I will be back these next several months to talk about the books I’ve read. Keep watching if you are looking for book suggestions.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. My goal is to read 50 in 2023. That sounds like a lot, but I made this goal many years ago and made it. I only wished I would have kept that list.
Books I’ve Read So Far This Year
(Reviews for these books are in my Goodreads account)
A easy to follow recipe book with lots of great stories.
A fun, “who done it” mystery. You will be cheering Molly the Maid once you meet her.
3) ► “Clara’s Kitchen”
A sweet grandmother shares her life and recipes during, “The Depression” years.
4) ► “Professor Pincushions: The Beginners Guide to Sewing
A wonderful, easy to follow, step by step to sewing for newbies.
Craft For You To Make
Okay, I have to admit, I’m cheating here sharing last years Valentine’s Day craft. I don’t think you’ll mind seeing it again, though. It was a big hit last year and it brought lots of smiles when we gave our cards out on February 14, 2022.
Just paint or draw this on any paper or cardstock. Use your imagination on more things to include. Maybe a house in the background? Add a few animals?
National Day – February 04, 2023
Did you know Saturday, February 04, 2023 is “National Take Your Child to the Library Day?”
I loved taking our sons the first Wednesday for story time every month. We would bring home a stack of books. I was able to continue this tradition with our grandson when he was younger, too. I hope you get to make it to your local library. Most branches will have lots of fun of activities, I’m sure.

What’s In the Works at Books By Rose
My book coming this spring/summer has been sent to my Beta Readers and what great feedback I’ve received. A few more tweaks and it will be ready. Keep watching. You know me, I always love to throw big parties when I release a new book. I’ll have to put my thinking cap on for this one.
Don’t forget, books make great gifts for holidays or any day. I hope you will give the gift of reading to those you love.
