Summary

We're back after a holiday hiatus! This episode, Annie and Katie discuss their reading resolutions and their words of the year. - Annie's currently reading -- and loving -- All the Light We Cannot See, with her sights set on more nonfiction in 2015, particularly historical nonfiction. Any books in particular you'd recommend? - Katie's favorite book for the new year is The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (a Christmas gift from husband Scott), and it ties in perfectly with her word of year; any guesses? - If book clubs aren't your thing -- for shame! -- start an article club, like Katie did with her friends. Tips for hosting your own can be found on Cup of Jo. - Both Katie and Annie love the concept of setting margins in your life; Hayley from Tiny Twig elaborates in this post. - It's not too late to determine your own word for 2015! Need help getting started? Try Ali Edwards' blog posts about the One Little Word concept, then hop on over to this 2015 workbook by Susannah Conway. (Annie and Jordan use this for their end-of-year review.) - Fellow Thomasvillians, Katie's working with some local fifth graders to make MacIntyre Park even better. Take the survey here. And, as always, you can follow along with The Bookshelf's adventures on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

0:23.0	Hey Annie, so Annie, this is my favorite time of year to be with you because
0:28.0	Annie has turned me on to the whole thoughtful processing, thoughtful goal-making at this time of year and then checking
0:35.8	back six months later.
0:37.2	So I always think of you.
0:38.8	That makes me so happy.
0:40.8	When we talk about New Year's resolutions and the new year.
0:44.0	Everybody always talks about winter being their least favorite season.
0:48.0	And I don't know if it's that in other parts of the country, it's way colder than it is here,
0:51.6	although I find it very chilly here, but everybody acts like it's
0:55.4	gloomy and dark, and I guess that's true, but I love it. I love the fresh start, the turning of the page,
1:02.4	the new calendars.
1:04.0	So this is like, this, I don't know that it's my favorite time of year,
