Sunday Post December 10, 2017/It's Monday! What are You Reading? Plus Mailbox Monday December 11, 2017

I am linking with Sunday Post at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading now at The Book Date.
Thank you to Sheila for the years that she handled this meme.
Thank you to Kathryn for taking up the baton.

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

We have double the number of closings set this month which is a mixed blessing. We have had to spend time training new staff so I have had such a busy week. I am scrambling to keep up hoping to prepare before Christmas break.
We were busy at home too as Hubby had an unexpected medical exam Friday (results were fine) and unexpected problems with our second house needing a heater repair before the freezing weather last night.
I am behind on reviews and it is time to start planning challenges for 2018 if I can fit that in.

I enjoyed my listening and reading. I finished 3 books for the week: two Audibles and one print. I posted three reviews plus I posted my usual memes.

I visited only 25 blogs early in the week.
Shout out this week to Just Another Girl and Her Books who is hosting a fun Christmas Challenge.
Thank you to all the nice people who visit me.

Now she needs to create a Christmas celebration for his young daughter, but when the real housekeeper appears, will Eliza find the forgiveness of the season, or spend Christmas in jail?

December 10, 2017 - I am up to date in the One Year Bible reading. I have been reading along with my husband and others from our church. I hope to take more time this year, staying on the day and listening to the companion commentary online.

I completed 3 books and posted 3 reviews. I am now at 8 reviews pending - I hope I get time for these this week. 
I am two weeks behind linking my reviews at Goodreads, Amazon and Audible.
My NetGalley shelf is still at 7; 5 more for this year and 2 for 2018. I still have one committed author title in queue and many through InstaFreebie.

We're working on two more fiction books soon to add to eTreasure's NetGalley page.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) and after a tour of hosts has returned to its permanent home at Mailbox Monday. Thanks to the ladies sharing hosting duties: Leslie of Under My Apple Tree, Serena of Savvy Verse & Wit and (yours truly). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
I didn't pick up any reviews this week.
I bought one Audible daily deal and got one Audible free gift.
I bought five Kindle titles at $.99.
As usual, I picked up more free kindle titles as usual. (Note these are in my Amazon library, NOT on my Kindle until I download and transfer them.)
Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?
