Monthly Wrap-up: December 2015

Boy am I ever glad to have this month over with. Normally I am giddy with excitement and Christmas spirit, but this year was totally different. If you have been following along with my posts you know that the past several weeks have been very difficult. On the December 8 I had to have surgery to replace my pacemaker. It all went well and I am healing very fast, but the emotional side affects from the past trauma is really hard to overcome. So that is why I just wasn't into the holidays this year. I didn't even put up any decorations. Ah well hopefully next year will be better and I will go all out.

We spent a lot of time with our family over the holidays. Enjoying their company and some yummy food.

Also on the 8th my man and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. He took me out for a nice Irish dinner the weekend before.

And really that is about it on the personal front, so lets move on..

My December Reading Progress 

This month I completed 3 books, which is less than I normally read in a month. However I'm not upset about this because it was very hard for me to get into a reading mood. Also I am very pleased with my reading progress this year. I do hope to aim for more books read for the month of January though, but we will see what the following weeks bring.

Books Completed:

1. Sizzling Sixteen (Stephanie Plum #16) by Janet Evanovich (Rating: 3.5/5)
2. Submerged (Alaskan Courage) by Dani Pettrey (Rating: 5/5)
3. Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay (Rating: 4/5) REVIEW COMING SOON
