As the New Year approaches, I find myself checking out my TBR…and also putting up new calendars, like this one in my office, below (Georgia O’Keeffe). After I hung the calendar, I had to move the little figurine of “a circle of bears” that once sat atop that book…to the shelf above.
The Christmas decorations are still up…but I’m feeling restless. I may end up taking them down BEFORE New Year’s.
New Year’s Eve: what I love to do is watch movies, in between reading…and at midnight, I turn on Dick Clark’s show (even though he is no longer on it). I might have some popcorn…and Champagne.
My First Book of the Year post will be up on January 1…at An Interior Journey. Shhh…not revealing the title just yet, but I sent my photo of myself holding the book to Sheila, at Book Journey, since she is hosting our event.
Another tradition for the New Year: our One Word. For 2017, I chose HOPE.

What word will suit me for 2018? Still pondering…
Meanwhile, continuing to read the books on my TBR…and I have some NetGalley books to read before January is over:
The Girls in the Picture, by Melanie Benjamin -Currently Reading-1/16/18
Anatomy of a Scandal, by Sarah Vaughan (1/23/18)
Watch Me, by Jody Gehrman (1/23/18)

On Netflix, I’ve been watching Fuller House.
Years ago, I recall watching Full House, and now the “kids” are all grown up. I see several of the actors in Hallmark events these days: Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin…
As much as I enjoy the Hallmark Channel, I must comment that so many of the same actors show up over and over…and the ones who have a certain “look” are always the bad guys. When you see those actors, you know that they are up to “no good.”

What events/books/movies are you looking forward to in 2018?

I haven’t been watching the Hallmark Channel that long but I have noticed the familiar faces. I have not a clue what I want to read…I am still lost in a sea of kitty cozies! Staying in for NYE is what we love to do…
I can’t even think about taking down Christmas but it’s a tempting thought!

Thanks for visiting, Patty, and whenever I think about putting away Christmas, I decide to wait…too much work!
I have been staying in for New Year’s since I moved to this condo.

Thanks for visiting, Kathryn, and it’s been so long since I watched Full House that I was confused about who was who in Fuller House…and what their relationships were. After watching half the first season, I’m a little bored by their antics. LOL.
I can’t resist putting up my calendars a week or so before the month is over. For a New Year, I buy the calendars in November.
Enjoy your weekend!

I seem to be following a theme with my picks. Enjoy yours!
