Time for It's Monday!  What Are You Reading?

I've had a few completions since last posted as I've continued with Michelle of True Book Addict's Christmas Spirit Challenge [on til Jan 6th] The Christkindl's Gift by Kathleen Morgan Dylan Thomas' audio recording of A Child's Christmas in Wales THe Christmas Gift - gorgeous art and insights by R Kent Hughes The Twelve Days of CHristmas - beautifully illustrated by Louse Brierley *

*

The Christmas Child: A Story of Coming Home by Max LUcado beautiful story [in both book and movie formats] All available under the above Christmas Spirit tab. * Stacy Henrie's debut HOPE RISING was an amazing story of fortitude and beauty in the midst of WWI turmoil, upheaval and personal loss.  *

*

Personable characters in  difficult situations.  Highly recommending this one. As for book 1, HOPE at DAWN, in the Of Love and War series, .Excellent. #3 to release in March - Yay! Can.NOT.Wait... * Christmas Eve day I had a visit from the postman arriving with a Book gift. A generous win from friend and indie author, Lucy Pollard-Gott., PhD. She's written an amazing book on 100 Fictional characters  who have impacted our lives.  Fictional Characters we all recognize at the mention of their name, because of that impact. Some great reading ahead, thanks to Lucy. What an honour and delight! *

* With gratitude, Lucy! * I've been checking into a lot of Reading Challenges offered for 2015 and have made my choices as listed Here. Some have become new goodreads shelves - definitely makes for easy tracking. Reading doesn't seem as hard as keeping caught up with the admin of participating! We'll see how this year unfolds for that issue.  Anyone else struggle with it? I'm ready for greeting the New Year with my First Book in Sheila's Challenge. * Thinking Canadian mystery author, C.C. Benison's Father Christmas book, will may be my choice.. [but it's huge and I may be choosy about when I want to tackle it].   I know... I'm a temperamental reader. *

* Then a whole week of reading for the Bout of BOoks Challenge Jan 5-11.15. A lot of library books on standby - loving that challenge - along with Reading   Around the World and English counties, Women's Fiction, and Agatha Christie, British Authors and A-Z Authors. How're your challenges lining up?   * Find more Monday Reading at Sheila's BOok Journey for this week. * FIND MORE FHC on PINTEREST | TWITTER | GOOGLE+ | GOODREADS | FACEBOOK | NETWORKED BLOGS
