At A Glance: Month Of December

Blogging News and Life

So December was quite the month for me. I had fun making changes to my blog to give the Christmas-y feel to it. I also started something new, and maybe some of you may have noticed. But starting this year, I will be doing a book release calendar for each month. I tweaked my own version of it, and it will make it easier to track book releases. So feel free to check it out here and let me know what you think. I also had a great reading month, and discovered some great books too!! Now in my personal life, it was a month of struggle. My boss delayed my pay (and yeah I quit that job), and was unable to go home for Christmas, but thankfully found a new job so hopefully financially life will get back to normal within a week or two. I did spend Christmas alone, for the first time in my life and yeah I will admit it was rough. But I did make a nice meal, and watched plenty of Christmas movies and did some coloring and relaxing. But hopefully in a few weeks once life gets back to normal I will be taking a week off and going back home so I am excited for that. So I am ready for 2016 to be over and hope that 2017 brings good things.
