I've been posting my #imwayr posts a few days late the last three weeks. And it seems I'm having a very difficult time getting jump started into 2020. I still need to wrap up my #MustReadin2020 titles. I'm thinking that as long as I get that done before February, I'm good. LOL I've wanted to read A Man Called Ove for a very long time. And I've been on the "hold" list for Things You Save in a Fire for months. Hoping they'll call my name before April.

They also have it as a movie in Swedish with English subtitles. So many choices!<br />Hope you are enjoying a wonderful celebration tonight.
