You take care as well!Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-30625713175331463272017-12-07T14:59:35.556-05:002017-12-07T14:59:35.556-05:00I hear ya. The current "Hard Times" as I...I hear ya. The current "Hard Times" as I call them have wreaked havoc on my reading and blogging. I have striven to get my challenges done early precisely because it has gotten harder for me to muster up as year goes by. Still have two challenges to finish, and I hope I can make it. We will see. I do know when I do my end of year reading report, I will have likely read less. However, it was not all terrible. I have been escaping by binge watching old TV shows on DVD (thank you public library). Almost done binging through "Inspector Morse" this month. And the other thing helping my sanity a bit is I took up learning Tarot and oracle cards a bit back. It's why you may have seen a Tarot book or two on my links <br /><br />I will probably be more selective, and trim on how many reading challenges I do next year because I just do not see 2018 being any better (personally, I think it will be worse). Still hoping to do Mount TBR (deity of choice knows I have plenty on that mountain to read). <br /><br />Anyways, I hope you have a good holiday season, and keep on reading for 2018. Don't forget the self-care. <br /><br />Best, and keep on blogging. A.
