We have now entered the Twilight Zone, that time between Christmas and New Year’s, when you do not know what day it is, who you are, or what you are supposed to be doing. We had a lovely Christmas and spent a few days with the Royals, playing games, crafting and eating. I am tired. The kids will be back tomorrow as parent’s work and they are on winter holiday until the seventh of January. Stay Caffeinated.

Happy New Year!

The time between Christmas and New Years is kind of my favorite because I really focus on resting and being lazy and generally recovering from the holiday. That said I very rarely know what day it is. I hope 2025 is a fantastic year for you and yours!
Steph
The Twilight Zone week is always so weird… happens every year but still I never feel prepared for it. No clue what day it is… or what I have to do and starting anything new seems odd bc I should just wait til the new year right?!
Kimberly
Exactly. The grandkids swore today was Tuesday. They are in the zone too!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Sounds like you had a good Christmas! Enjoy the Royals this week.
Mary Kirkland
I’m glad to hear you had a nice Christmas.
Sophia Rose
LOL, that is exactly how this week between feels. 🙂
Have a happy new year’s, Kimberly!
Sophie
The Twilight Zone is the best way to describe that time Kimberly! I am wishing you already a happy New Year!
Victoria
I enjoy this week each year. I hope you have a nice time with the littles next week–and have some time for sitting around reading!
Bookworm
lol It is so the Twilight Zone this week. Happy New Year and happy reading. I need to read Lori Foster again, I’ve enjoyed her books in the past.
Becki
Checking out the Historical Fiction challenge – sounds like my jam, if I can remember to keep track. Glad you’re having fun over the holidays – enjoy your time with the Royals 🙂
Emily @ Budget Tales Book Blog
I hope that you had a lovely Christmas. I am totally confused by what day it is!
I am so full of festive food and we still have tomorrow to go! Hopefully then we can chill a bit. My son goes back on 6 January.
Have a great week!
Ash
I have never agreed with anything more than this being the twilight zone between Christmas and New Years, I always feel like it takes forever between the two holidays.
And my husband took off from Christmas eve until January 1st! He goes back the 2nd. So time is even weirder right now.
Hope you had an amazing Christmas.

Had to laugh at your description of this week. So true!!
vidya
definitely a time when time moves differently… these last few days of the year… maybe i should pick up the Christmas Tree Farm just to hold on to the festive season for a bit more..
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
I hope you enjoy the Amy Daws book! Yeah, it’s that twilight zone, but with dreading going back to work, I kind of am remember what day it is as I count down.
Jody
Both of these books sound good. I think I would really enjoy Nine Month Contract by Amy Daws. That sounds like it will be a fun read, Kimberly. I can’t wait to read your thoughts. Happy New Year, and yes I confess I am a zombie 🤣
Lisa Howeler
Enjoy your time off! This period of the year is weird but so relaxing. Our family has needed it this year.
Angela (Angel's Book Nook)
That’s great you got some Royal time. Grandparents came to us and boy was it busy. I’m enjoying the quit now and trying to catchup before the New Year. Enjoy the rest of 2024 and Happy New Year!
Carla
I am missing The Twilight Zone this year because I’m working every day but Wednesday. I want to cry. I’m glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas.
Anne - Books of My Heart
I’m tired just reading about everything everyone has been doing this week. Thankfully we have been mostly quiet. And we’ve been watching lots of Britbox since we have the 2 discounted months and one is over now. Happy reading!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I’m glad you had a good Christmas, and I hope you get a chance to relax.
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
It’s that liminal period which is both too short and too long!
Ii hope you get to relax for a day or two before the grandchildren return.
Wishing you a happy new year 🥳

This week is always so weird. I kept forgetting yesterday that it was Saturday. It felt like it took a year before it was time for bed. And then I kept thinking that the next day was New Year’s Eve. lol
Olivia
Ha! Twilight Zone is the perfect description for the time between Christmas and New Year.
Jodie @ That Happy Reader
Thanks for hosting again this year! I wish you and your family a Happy, Healthy 2025!
Harvee
Thanks again for hosting the Sunday Salon. Happy New Year!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Glad you had a nice holiday! Ours was good as well, though seems we’ve a flu bug going around since before the holidays and it likes to linger. I’ve been quarantining myself away from those infected. But if I recall, I do believe my parents will have to babysit my high school niece as she goes back later than my sister and still can’t be trusted to on her own for the day, which doesn’t usually make it easy for me to work at home. Maybe I should go to my sister’s empty house for those days…lol!
Nice new reads! These are new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them once you get to read them!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

Glad you got to spend time with your loved ones.
Lola
Glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas. I hope you have a fun week with the kids visiting.
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner’s Bookish World
That’s so true about this twilight zone time. I bought a book on PangoBooks and had to laugh when the seller sent me a bunch of messages because she couldn’t remember if there was mail pickup yesterday or not lol. I hope you enjoy Nine Month Contract! I read it last spring.
Lori
You describe this time perfectly. I feel like I lost or gained a day somewhere. I asked my husband both yesterday and today what day it was.
I hope you get some rest and have a merry and bright new year.
Laurel-Rain Snow
Interesting name for that time between Christmas and New Year’s! I don’t like all the changes in the schedules on TV or life in general. Not a fan, lol.
Enjoy your family time!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
I’m glad you had a nice Christmas. I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!
