ReplyDeleteMine is kind of wrap up post for 2013 and ushering in 2014...
Here is my post
Thanks, you too!
DeleteHope you had a great New Year. We started the same way- cold and snowy, and I guess it's going to get worse. Have a great rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope your weekend was good.
DeleteWe've had a lot of storms but thankfully no snow! Hopefully things will ease up soon! I had hoped to get tons of reading done but no :( Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS, you too.
DeleteI was so tempted to get the Christine Warren book, but didn't because I want to try to catch up this month. Great haul BEA.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't have gotten it but I was weak. :D
DeleteNice books to start off the new year. It's been a snowy deep freeze here, too. Perfect weather for staying inside with a couple of good books.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/01/sundays-weekly-book-recap-48.html
Definitely perfect weather for staying in and reading :)
DeleteSingle digit temperatures sound good! Ours our double digits below zero. It does allow for lots of reading time. I am so far behind on Christine Warren's books. I must have 4 or 5 on my TBR mountain already. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr! I haven't read any of the Warren books, I hope it won't be a problem.
DeleteOoh, I'm shivering....ours doesn't get that low, but it still feels cold many days. Lately, however, the temps have been pretty moderate. 38 degrees right now.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of Mint Juleps and Justice!
Enjoy your reading...and thanks for visiting my blog.
38 degrees sounds good right now. :D Happy reading!
DeleteWe had a quiet New Year. :)
ReplyDeleteI also got Heart of Stone. Can't wait to read it!
We didn't get but a couple of inches of snow, but it will be here tonight and tomorrow night. So not ready for it. Enjoy the new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.

I hope you didn't get too much snow.
DeleteBrrr, I hope you're keeping warm! We were in NM and TX, so it wasn't too bad, and Virginia is cold but not bitterly so like the upper half of the country.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books!
Oh, you were nice and warm. Lucky!
DeleteI haven't really added a lot of new books to my collection. I'm TRYING to read things that I've had around for awhile. haha It's been really cold here too! I hope I can use some of that time of being stuck inside to read.
ReplyDelete-Lauren
Good luck! I'm hoping to catch up on my TBR pile this year. I hope you get a chance to curl up and read.
DeleteWe had a snow storm as well and today it's a lovely ice storm! most people hope for summer but I am ok with the cold. It lets me stay in and read a lot more lol
ReplyDeleteMichelle
Because Reading is better than real life
Brrrrrr, time for cocoa and reading!
DeleteHappy 2014! We started off with a snow storm and frigid temperatures too. But, I already completed my first book of the year, so I'm off and running :)
ReplyDeleteYour upcoming reads sound really good. Have a great week!
You're off to a good start! Good luck staying warm.
Deleteremember love looks good, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteYuck, yuck, yuck! I do not envy your weather at all. At least you get to read. :) Happy New Year, Bea. Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy, happy new year to you also!
DeleteHappy New Year! We were having a cold spell and snow. But today was warm at 40 and tomorrow it drops into the negatives. lol. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCrazy temps! Happy new year!
DeleteAs usual, I added far to many, especially from Net Galley.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
NetGalley is crack :D
Deletethanks for linking up with BB&B... I am off to check out Remember Love :D
ReplyDeletewhile I hate the cold I certainly do appreciate the extra excuse to stay in and read - hope you're enjoying your reading! And you got some good ones this week - I love the cover for Christmas Unplugged and it sounds good too. Added to my TBR (but it's not free anymore :( oh well)
ReplyDeleteAhhh.... no snow here! lol Hope things aren't too bad! Nice little haul Bea! Enjoy.
