Joy | 1116 comments Does anyone else get excited about sorting through their books to make their TBR for the new year? I love it!! I get so excited thinking of the new adventures that await me between the pages of these “new friends”, that have languished on my shelves waiting to be read and loved for way too long. I have a stack of about 80 that I’ve pulled to be read this year. Not sure if I’m being too ambitious, as this year my husband is retiring in August and we’re moving. But we shall see how this goes! Good luck everyone!!

Welcome back, Joy! And yes! I love seeing the potential for the following year! It thrills me to no end! I'm so excited to start off fresh tomorrow! Even though I've picked a re-read as my first book of the year. :)

Joy, you took the words right out of my mouth! So excited for a fresh year filled with new stories and adventures! Congrat's on your husband's retirement, that is so exciting! Do you know where you are going to relocate to already?
