How was your December? Leave a comment with the link to your wrap up post and I’ll stop by 
My wrap up is in the form of previews of my new collection of short stories (getting it done and up one Kindle was THE December activity). Posts here: www.mmshaunakelley.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteBut I am curious-- 1 out of 10 Nicholas Sparks novel. Was there any particular reason behind that. I HATE the movies made from his books, but have often thought I should give the books a try...
Wow just by looking at your page you definitely look like you need an assistant. You are a very busy woman.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much you've accomplished! And you've had a full year! Well done!

ReplyDeleteTo date, I have read all but 3 of Nicholas Sparks' novels. I was planning on re-reading some of them for the challenge. I just didn't get around to doing so. He's one of my favorite authors and he's also on my auto-buy list. He writes it, I buy it.
