--- AVR News Update ---
Hello and Happy Sunday!

On the Home Front: I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year. Thus begins 2016 where we are 0/12 complete or 0% uploaded.

Touching Nature: Rain, rain, rain...oh, look! More rain. Fuck off already! At least the temps have gone back to more normal ones for this time of year, 50s/30s.

Book News: I finished the year with 244 books read. I set my 2016 Goodreads & Booklikes goals for 250, so we'll see how that goes. I have all of January drafted and scheduled. I just need to read 1 book for a tour and 2 books for InD'tale Magazine. InD'tale's reviews are due Tues. so I'm scrambling, but I'll get them done. Most of January's reviews will be graphic novels. Sorry about that. It's what I have the most of. lol And the for the first time in a few years I've joined another challenge besides the general books-read-type. I posted my Bookish Resolutions hosted by Michelle and Laura. You can still join HERE.

Don't Touch That Dial!: Hubby & I managed a few episodes of Buffy and Angel, but that's it.

At the Flicks: Nothing until possibly February when we may see Deadpool.

Cyberspace Playground: Nope. Been too busy working on posts.

Randomness: 

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

  2. Happy new year! Here we had a lot of rain too, but also some dry days and mostly mild temperatures, although we finally had some colder days as well. You definitely got a lot of books read last year, I hope you'll reach your goal for this year :). Have a great week and enjoy your new books!

  4. OMG! I love your randomness. 244 is amazing. I ended with 169. The Jim Butcher book is on my TBR pile too. I have to finish The Dresden Files first though. Here's to a great 2016! Happy Reading.
