Hi Haze, great to hear from you. Yeah it’s really been freezing outside and I haven’t been out much. Sounds like you neither. We’re trying to get ready for Christmas but late this year — we’ll see. But I’m feeling a bit better now.
I think if you like sheep or farm life — then Shepherd’s Sight might interest you. I’m looking to read more nonfiction next year too. Good luck with your challenges. And Happy holidays!

Shepherd’s Sight sounds really interesting and I’m adding it to my TBR. I’m planning to join a nonfiction reading challenge in 2026, so I guess it’s good timing!

Hi Tracy, thanks, we’ve had some wild weather lately. First a huge wind hit & melted all the snow away … then today a big wind hit and delivered more snow. It’s been topsy-turvy … between snow & no snow & back again.
Perhaps you’ll like Pick a Color more than I did. It could’ve just been me. My mind wandered a bit but I got the gist of it.
Christmas has come quickly and I’ve not been onboard yet either … but hopefully I can get in the spirit soon. I guess it’s time for the Christmas carols. Hope you have a lovely week … and watch a lot of good movies! Cheers.

Hi Erin, thanks. Ha, Hallmark Christmas movies are perfect for cold weather & sickness, lol. The goopier the better. My husband sort of laughs at me.
If you’re into knowing about sheep … this book is pretty informative. But I also hear James Rebanks has a couple sheep books too. I might get them from the library later.
I hope you feel better too! Happy holidays.

I have purchased a copy of Pick a Color, and hope that I enjoy it more than you did. I will let you know, when I get to it.

I am having a hard time believing that Christmas is so close. We don’t get out a lot and I have not experienced a lot of Christmassy stuff around. We plan to watch movies all day and eat my husband’s Christmas spaghetti, so the day will be fun.

Shepherd’s Sight: A Farming Life by Barbara McLean sounds fascinating! I have been obsessed with sheep lately. Not sure why.

Get some rest, and feel better!

Thanks Helen, things are becoming more Christmas-y this week. And we’re almost done with being sick. So hooray. Doing a bit of shopping online.
It sounds very festive there … keep it going! I need to get out a bit more but will soon. Happy holidays.

Hi Kay, I understand about the aversion to cold weather. And no fun to have allergies either. I grew up with asthma in SoCal so I battled that for years. And thanks we are almost done with the head colds.
I hope you have a great Christmas with your family there. It sounds fun and festive. We’re already so close! Enjoy.

Thanks Hena. I’m close to being over it. And I hope you have recovered as well. Happy holidays.

Good to know. Yeah the farm there seems similar to the one in Shepherd’s Sight — they shear the sheep and the woman uses the wool to weave clothes. It would be cool to visit.
