The 52 Book Club's Reading Challenge 2022

2022 Build Your Library Reading Challenge

You Know You're a Book Blogger When ...
6:30 AM
... you come home from a 10-day vacation to find 53 review books waiting on your doorstep and in your mailbox ...
Yes, really.
My husband snapped these photos of my unwashed, ticked-off looking self picking up our accumulated mail/packages on Saturday when we returned from a 10-day trip to Utah. I'm not sure why I look so bothered, since I was actually as giddy as a little kid at Christmas. I guess that's what 10 hours in the car with five kids (mine + a friend) will do to a person!
As much as I love to travel, it's also really nice being home—especially when I have lots of fun packages to open. I won't be melting in this Arizona heat for too long, though. The fam and I will be boarding a plane bound for upstate New York on Saturday. After a week of sightseeing, I'll return home, hopefully to another awesome book haul :)

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!

Wow! That's a lot of books! A nice welcome back present, I'm sure :-P
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your vacation (or holiday as we would say here in the UK) as well enjoy your upcoming one too.

WOW! I can't wait to see what all you got. Have fun in New York. I went to college in western NY, and I loved it. Wish I still lived there.

Welcome back...for a minute!! What a bounty awaited you. Ànd...don't worry about not looking happy about those little lovelies waiting in your mailbox...even blessings can begin to look like burdens after a car ride with other said "blessings"!!! I can't wait to see what are in all of those packages!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I just love it when I see a package poking out of my mailbox in the evening when I get home. It really is a little bit like Christmas. Happy reading!
ReplyDelete53?? Jeez, that's more books than I usually read in a year. LOL! What a thrill to come home to, though! =D
ReplyDeleteWOW that's a ton of review books! AWESOME, but how do you ever keep up?
ReplyDeleteHave a fun, safe trip to NY!
I don't know how you do it all! But that does look like Christmas in July to me. Have a great trip and good luck with the new stash.
ReplyDeleteYou do look kind of grouchy for somebody carrying an armload of new goodies. :) But I guess a long car ride with a bunch of kids will do that to you. I hope you got good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea how you keep up! Or read your wn books.
ReplyDelete*own!
