Can you believe the holiday season is almost over and tonight is New Year's Eve? I can't! I feel like I just put up the tree and finished wrapping gifts. It really does fly by. I did a lot of baking this Christmas and I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in cookies and chocolate. I'm looking forward to getting back into my health kick this coming month. I hope everyone had a great holiday and I hope 2013 is as awesome as 2012 was. Happy 2013, everyone!

December Top Five:
1) Favorite Book: Just One Day by Gayle Forman - LOVE, LOVE this book! I wouldn't expect anything less from Gayle Forman.
2) Biggest Disappointment: Cinders & Sapphires by Leila Rasheed- I thought it was mildly entertaining, but ultimately, it fell flat for me.
3) Biggest Surprise: The Selection by Kiera Cass- I have read so many mixed reviews for this book, but was pleasantly surprised by how entertained I was. Maybe it's because I am a secret die hard fan of The Bachelor...So embarrassing.
4) Favorite Post: 2012 End of Year Book Survey
5) Favorite Part of December: Baby D's first Christmas was a blast!
Happy New Year!

OooooMG! How did his birthday go?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading Just One Day. I've only heard positive things about it so far. Sorry that Cinders and Sapphires was a disappointment. I liked it (though it had flaws and isn't as good as the Luxe series).
This time of year always goes so quickly. I'm a little sad that it is over but now I hope I can eat healthy again too. I definitely overdid it with the sweets!
So glad you loved JUST ONE DAY! Makes me even more eager to finish my copy.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family had a lovely Christmas and New Year's :)
