I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year weekend!  Welcome to Monday from the Interior, in which we chat about our reading and blogging.

Mailbox Monday is hosted through January by Alyce, At Home With Books; and What Are You Reading? is led by Sheila, at Book Journey.

Let’s Start with the Year in Review!  

YEAR 2011 IN REVIEW

Some Weekly Posts included:

What’s Up Next?

I had planned to start right in with something on my Old TBRs…but instead, here’s what I selected

1.   Brava, Valentine, by Adriana Trigiani (Received awhile ago from Book Journey)

2.   A Room Swept White, by Sophie Hannah (This one at 480 pages will qualify as a “chunkster”)

3.  One Voice Too Many, by Paul Martin Midden (Review book)

I’m excited to start a new year with a clean slate and fresh challenges to tackle.  What are you doing in your first week of 2012?  Come on by and share….
