Well, I’m back from my travels to Central Europe! We went to Vienna (Austria), Brno (Czech Republic), Budapest (Hungary), and Bratislava (Slovakia) to check out the various Christmas markets. It’s something we wanted to do for a while and we finally did it! It was a lot of fun and so nice to just take trains everywhere. We also did other touristy stuff like a museum here and there. The highlight for me was The Nutcracker in Budapest; gorgeous sets and absolutely stunning opera house!
Anyway, we arrived in the D.C. area yesterday around 2:30 pm and let me tell you, Global Entry is so worth it. I was so glad not to have to stand in the immigration line for 1.5 hours (sometimes longer). At least in the D.C. area, immigration can take a long time. So if you travel internationally fairly frequently, Global Entry saves so much time. Then we stayed awake and hopped over to two separate holiday parties last night. Let’s just say sleep was most welcome last night!

Wow, April was the last time I participated in the Book Blogger Hop. I cut back on these a while ago, but I didn’t realize my last one was eight months ago! Nonetheless, they’re nice for weekly prompt ideas. So, here I am back to talk about reading slumps.
The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.

This is only my second ever post for Top Ten Tuesday, which is a freebie this week. So I thought I’d throw together a collection of books with wintery vibes. These books might feel wintery because of their cover or because the story occurs during the colder seasons. Regardless, I don’t plan to think to hard about it! 🙂
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
