For Christmas this year, I was one spoiled girl. I had told everyone that I mainly wanted new books for Christmas, and I received an amazing haul of good ones this year, thanks largely in part to the amazing sale that Book Outlet put on on Black Friday. I'm not going to give descriptions or really talk about any of these books, because I have quite a few to go through, But I do want to say just how thankful I am to my amazing hubby, family and friends for the awesome books I was given. I didn't expect to receive any of these for Christmas, I was honestly just thankful getting to spend quality time with all the people I love, but I am completely amazed and so thankful that I have all these beautiful new books to enjoy in the new year.

We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like.

For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson.

Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often.
