So happy I discovered Hoopla!! I love that I can work and listen to books, I've recently finished 3 more Krewe of Hunters books, The Summoning, The Stalking and Seeing Darkness. I also listened to This Heart of Mine and Match Me If You Can. I'm actually straying from the norm and have 3 books from the library, The Last White Rose by Alison Weir, In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware and Etty Hillseum, an interrupted life: the diaries, 1941-1943 and my book on Hoopla is Thin Ice by Paige Shelton. Nice to try a new author now and then!!

books, books, books
I finished book 4 of the Chicago Stars series, Gabe is my favorite Bonner Brother, he is so damaged but his story is wonderful and Rachel is stronger than she thinks she is. of course finishing book 4 means I'm now onto my all time favorite in the series, "This Heart of Mine" it makes me laugh and cry!
I also finished books 25 and 26 in the Krewe of Hunters series, coincidentally also with brothers!

Old dog, new tricks!
I love when I figure something out! ok, so I looked it up on the internet and it actually worked! I downloaded all the pictures from my phone onto my computer!! Of course now I am going to delete many of the over 2000 pictures on my phone, that is once I verify they are actually on my pc and also backed up onto a thumb drive!! (done)

Challenges and Goals Part 2
Made a few more decisions about my goals and challenges for this year...I've decided to take black and white pictures, there are so many interesting places and things that when you take the picture in B/W is just enhances it; at least that's my opinion.
I also bought a book titled, "A 5 Year Question A Day Memory Journal. There is a different question for each day of the year.

Goals and Challenges not Resolutions
Today is the First of January 2024! It's been a nice quiet day, a little chilly for Florida but since I had no plans I didn't really care!!
I decided a long time ago that I was not a fan of the word so tied to the beginning of the year...RESOLUTION(S). It seems that every time I made one or more of those things I never kept a one! So I set goals, doable goals, nothing crazy like walking at least one step more than I did the day before! I also set challenges for myself, like reading a certain number of books for this year, that's easy to keep track of thanks to the app "Goodreads", this years goal is 36 books, 3 a month! I am also going to re-read books by SEP (Susan Elizabeth Philips), I am going to add to the read list by trying to get through most of Heather Grahams "Krewe of Hunters" series, currently I'm reading "Pale as Death" #25 in the series! (Currently there are 38 books in the series)
I would also like to "do" some of the Photography challenges I found on Pinterest! First I need to find my camera as it is hiding somewhere in my room!
I'm also going to set a goal of donating and or clean up at least one box from my storage unit each month! when I'm there I can also take inventory of all my Lego sets! at one time I had a spreadsheet of them all but as my computers have changed over the last 20 plus years that information is now lost.
