This is my own version of a weekly book haul and all things new on fuonlyknew.
I’m also linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Some chit chat.
This year has sped by so fast and yet also felt like it crawled. Weird, eh? Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas is on the way. Have you done your shopping or decorating yet? I’ve done a bit of both. And I managed to get by the library to grab a few books I’ve been wanting. I have a couple of days off next week and plan to finish my decorating and curl up with some of these beauties.
Stay safe and have a lovely Sunday!

Just like your said, slow and fast year, crrepy year, we’ll be glad to be out of it ! You had quite a big book haul, enjoy and have fun decorating – so will we, this afternoon 🙂
This has been a strange year. Hoping the next one is better. I seem to need books to lose myself for a while:)
I still need t read Joe Hill. Haven’t read any yet! But I do have a few on my TBR.
My Christmas tree was put up yesterday and I do hope it will stay nice and pretty until Christmas.
Have a good week and happy reading!
Elza Reads
I enjoy Hill’s books. Remind me of the older Stephen King books and those are among my favorites. I got my tree up and the lights on and plan to get decorations done the next couple of days.
I totally agree with you about this year. It’s definitely a crazy one.
I plan on decorating our home for Christmas next weekend. I can’t wait 😀
Stay safe and happy reading.
I’m hoping decorating makes things seem brighter!
Enjoy your time off. I hope all the books you read are great ones. I bought two Christmas gifts, but I only really get a few each year anyhow. The side effect of buying the pricier items.
I don’t have much to buy either. I do usually grab a few deals for myself too. LOL
I spent an Amazon gift voucher that my dad gave me so a pile of new hardback, paperback and downloads are coming into my life! These are my last purchases until January and I should have them in a week. I found some tinsel in my room during the clearout so I might put a bit of it up to cheer the room up. We haven’t done Christmas in our house for six years though, other than the junk food so the tinsel makes a nice change!
I usually do a ton of decorating. This year there will be less done outside since the hurricane really tore up my house. Can’t decorate much because I’ll have to take it down when they come to put on the new roof and rebuild both front and year porches.
Glad you have a few days off coming up, Laura – you work so hard! I hope you get a chance to curl up with your books, so have a lovely reading week:))
Thank you:) I have some good looking books to read and plan to decorate, so it’s all fun!
It feel like a hundred years passed by in two days lol. My decorations are up and I have a bit of shopping left to do but have gotten a big chunk done.
I hope you have a great week, Laura! Happy Reading! 🙂
You are ahead of me! The next two days will be decorating and then relaxing to take it all in.
I totally agree with your opinion. The year just flew, but it was not fast enough either. But I hope you had a good and safe Thanksgiving.
I spent my Thanksgiving at home with my son. We ate and played some games. It was nice!
I am a bit of a humbug so no decorating…lol. Well, might a bit in my room for booktube background but that is it.
I only have to shop for my dad a gift so no not shopped yet. 🙂
Have a great week and happy reading!

Week in Review
I enjoy the decorations. A bright spot in a strange year. LOL
Thank you Laura – You stay safe too and I hope you enjoy getting in the festive mood and enjoying some of these books. 😊
Here’s my Sunday Post: https://thebookwormchronicles.wordpress.com/2020/11/29/%f0%9f%99%8f-sunday-reflection-november-2020-wrap-up-%f0%9f%8d%82/ 🙂
I’m going to listen to some holiday music while decorating. It always puts me in the mood:)
We’ve done a little decorating but not too much yet. Might put lights out today though since it’s relatively warm for Michigan! Glad that Christmas season is finally here!
Hope you have a great week! 🙂
I’m happy it is here too! The weather took a turn and it’s windy and quite chilly. Feels like Christmas. LOL
I agree, the year went by so fast, but I feel like it should have been slower. I’m ready to start fresh in 2021! Have a good week, Laura😁
I sure hope the next year is different, better!
I’ve bought exactly one Christmas present so far, I really do need to get organised.
Enjoy your time off!
Wishing you a great reading week
I have one gift too. Need to get a move on! LOL
I’ve started Christmas shopping but haven’t gotten far. Hope you enjoy the holidays!
I don’t have much to but which seems to make it harder. LOL
I haven’t done any decorating but its on my to do list!
I have the decorations all sorted. Now to get to it:)
We have done only a little shopping and no decorating yet. I’m so happy to hear you have some days off. Relax and enjoy some great reads!
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I rarely get two days in a row off. I hope to squeeze in some fun time in between all the chores. LOL
I really can’t believe how fast the second half of the year went. It just flew by. I hope you have a great week!
It does seem like the year picked up speed! LOL
