Everyone ready for another week? Going back to work this morning was hard, I wanted to stay in bed. Thankfully, this is a 3 day weekend so I just have to make it through five days. Then next week is a four day week Then five more days and we leave for vacation. We are going to Alabama and Tennessee from June 8-17th. Just keep going for the carrot. One foot in front of the other. I think I can. I think I can.
This weekend I read all of The Stone Diaries and already posted that review. Then I started on 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. Which challenge is that on, you ask? NONE OF THEM. It is on the "giant list of library books I have to read before my vacation." And it looked good. Luckily for me, most of the GLOLBIHTRBMV are young adult titles and therefore should be quick, right? Right? Then I have to start thinking about what to take on vacation.
Paperbackswap has changed the way your history is listed, but to the best of my memory I'm now at 65 books in (the most recent being Born In Death). I've read 29 books this year, leaving me at 36 unread. Last week I was also at 36- I'm gaining on myself!! Must be all those YA novels.
The American Idol finale is on Wednesday and we have to go to my nephew's 8th grade graduation that night. Someone clearly wasn't watching the schedule when this was planned.
I discovered this morning that comments were turned off for a couple of previous posts, so if you wanted to say something and couldn't, now you can. (How desperate is that? PLEASE COMMENT ON MY BLOG. Sniff.)

I know what you mean about the "giant library book pile". But, I would not have it any other way. I love my pile of books and get nervous if I don;t have enough to choose from. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. I, too, get a three day weekend and am so looking forward to it.
They need to reschedule that graduation! Haha
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good week. Your vacation is just a short while away. Yay!
We have 2 or 3 things all happening on Wed. night too. And not only is it American Idol, it's Lost and they overlap! Now HOW am I supposed to record THAT? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is why I have Tivo... although I haven't watched AI this year at all. Too much else to watch :)
ReplyDeleteI tagged you for the eating out meme, stop by.
