I can hardly believe it’s the last weekend of 2025, and what a turbulent year it has been. The holiday season had me counting my blessings and being grateful for our loved ones. I’ve been re-listening to the Others series by Anne Bishop and hope to re-listen to the Discovery of Witches series by Deborah Harkness next. Stay Caffeinated & spread kindness.

It is wild that 2025 is coming to a close. It’s been a bit of a challenging year. I hope you have a wonderful New Year and a happy week!

This year has been full of ups and downs definitely, and as it ends, I am, like you, counting my blessings indeed.. Wishing you a wonderful last few days of 2025 and a happy new year
Carla@CarlaLovesToRead
I agree, Kimberly. I can’t believe it will be 2026 in 4 days. I also had to count my blessings and realize that I am truly blesses. Have a wonderful New Year.
Angela (Angel's Book Nook)
Have a great last week of December. Thanks for sharing the Library Love Challenge.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year. I’ve been thinking about the Others for a Read-along some year.
Mary Kirkland
The year has gone by fast for me too.
Victoria
My wish for myself and everyone I know is more comfort and joy in 2026. And I hope everyone is able to enjoy good health!
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
This year did go by fast! This is the time of year for reading and listening to whatever we feel like, right? Have a wonderful week, Kimberly!
Lisa R. Howeler
I hate to say it…because I always do…but this year really did fly by. Not always in a good way either. But there are good things going on too. Hope you have a great week!
Bree @ Bibliophilebree
Can’t believe it’s the end of 2025 already!
Meezan
Wishing you a new year that’s merry and bright! 🙂
Stephanie @ Once Upon a Chapter
It certainly flew by! Here’s hoping 2026 is a little more peaceful.
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
Yep, I agree about 2025. I’m just hoping for a peaceful year in 2026. As much as there are some big changes I’d like to see, I’ll be content with just an easy, less stressful year. Hoping for more time to get back to my blogging as well. I’m so behind on reviews from emails that at some point I’m going to just delete all the emails and start fresh so I don’t feel overwhelmed about going back to read things. Even though I know there are reviews I want to read still. Hope you have a good week!

This year has mostly been a dumpster fire, but every night before bed I say what I’m thankful for. It helps keep me from breaking many laws. lol Happy New Year, Kim!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Glad you had a nice week! Hope you enjoy your reread of the Others! I did enjoy that series!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!

I don’t think I’ve finished the Discovery of Witches series, although I regularly recommend the first book. I’m also considering the audiobook challenge. If you’ve listened to them more than once, it ‘sounds’ like they may be good 😉 Thanks for sharing, and glad your holidays are going well!!

It has been a turbulent year. It saw my husband and I leaving the US and creating a new life in Albania. Hoping for a less turbulent 2026. Happy New Year!
Gail Is This Mutton
Have heard good things about The List of Suspicious Things. Happy New Year to you, and lots of good reads.
Lola
I heard so many good things about that Anne Bishop series, but haven’t read it myself yet, hopefully one day. Hard to believe it’s the end of the year already, it has been a turbulent year for us as well. Happy holiday season and here’s to a great 2026!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Merry Christmas! It has indeed been a year to hold our loved ones close, and be thankful for the small joys in a turbulent year.
Lori
This year flew by too fast but hoping the next year will be exciting and fresh and less chaotic.
I hope you have a wonderful new year!
Siran
Been thinking about my blessings as well
Jen at Introverted Reader
Happy New Year!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
I can’t believe it is the end of the year either. That went way too fast
Happy New Years!
