It is great to have a 5 day weekend - no work and lots of time to read! Jenn at Jenn's Bookshelves is hosting the Thankfully Reading weekend which offers a little community for those of reading with the extra spare time this weekend. I love this idea! Like last year, I am using the time to read some books that will help me finish my challenges for the year (help being the operative word because once again there will be some challenges I don't finish - when will I learn?) I made a nice dent today in O Come Ye Back to Ireland by Niall Williams and Christine Breen - I am really enjoying reading about this couple's first year living in rural Ireland after leaving NYC behind for the quiet, country life of the West of Ireland. The book is one of my selections for the Ireland Reading Challenge.
I have a few other books on the docket and hope to get to at least one more - I am also listening to an audiobook which I really enjoyed at the gym today (I usually am a music-only exerciser). A good friend is getting married in Annapolis tomorrow so I am heading down on the train in the morning. It will be good to see my college friends and help the bride and groom celebrate! The train will also afford me some uninterrupted reading time - "uninterrupted" is not guaranteed at home!
Do you have reading planned for the weeekend? What was your favorite part of Thanksgiving Day?
I hope you get some great reading in and enjoy the wedding and fun time with college friends. I've finished up one book I was reading and am finishing up my second book already. I'm headed to bed, before I get up and read my third book for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. A wedding in Annapolis sounds like fun. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a nice holiday. More and more people seem to be going gluten-free it seems.
