This is a great meme to take part in every week and I thank Kimba for hosting it!
I like this meme because it gives me an opportunity to take a look back at last week and forward to next week in both my personal life and my blog and book life! I also like to see what other people are doing and what books everyone is reading.
Home and Blog
I haven’t done a Sunday Post or very many other posts in the last month. In December I had several computer problems (my computer cord not charging and the internet not working). Luckily, I bought a new cord and my son worked his magic when he came at Christmas and the internet has worked since then.
I talked about 2016 in my “Look back look forward” post last week. This was a real transition year for me–retirement, moving halfway across the continent and then personal challenges. And all that affected my blog and my reading.
Television
My husband and I watched lots of college choirs on our public television station during the Christmas season. That was really nice.
Now we’re watching the new Sherlock series and enjoying it. And we’ve watched the first season of Stranger Things on Netflix.
Blogging
I have blogging goals for the year which I talked about this week, but essentially I want to post at least three times a week and review books I read (which really didn’t happen too much the latter part of the year). I didn’t meet my 100 book reading goal in 2016 so I set the same goal again in 2017
