It’s time!! Rather than facing the crowds & going shopping on this Black Friday, what are we doing? READING!!
This is the official kick off post for Thankfully Reading 2010. Feel free to link up your kick-off post to the Mr. Linky below, as well as any update posts you have.
If you don’t know what to post, here are some ideas. But remember there are no rules; you do not need to post during the weekend!
- How did you celebrate Thanksgiving?
- What’s in your TBR pile for the weekend?
- How much time do you think you’ll have for reading?
- What book are you starting out with?
- Are you reading print, ebooks, or audio? Maybe a bit each?
- What books did you discuss at Thanksgiving? Did you get any recommendations you can share?
- If you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, don’t worry, this is a weekend for everyone throughout the world.
Pictures are a great thing to add to your kick-off posts! Here are a few pictures of my Thankfully Reading Weekend Plans:

Throughout the weekend, feel free to post about your progress or even get some reviews up. Be sure to come back and link up your posts. Then take a break and check out everyone else’s posts. We’re looking forward to seeing how everyone else is celebrating Thankfully Reading Weekend.
Oh and don’t forget that some of your fellow readers will be on Twitter. You can search for Thankfully Reading Weekend tweets and hook up with others by using the hashtag #thankfulreading.
On Sunday afternoon, we’ll post another Mr. Linky for your wrap-up post. Tell us how your Thankfully Reading Weekend went. You could give mini-reviews of your books, tell us how many books and which books you read, number of pages, number of hours, and so on. This is a rule-free, contest-free event, so you can wrap up the weekend however you’d like.
Check back later today for information about the mini-challenges taking place over the course of the weekend!
With that said, let’s get reading!!

Yay! We’re getting started!
Starting out with WHY MY THIRD HUSBAND WILL BE A DOG by Lisa Scottoline. A light read to make up for the heavy eating.

It’s raining. It’s cold. I am still full from yesterday’s Thanksgiving feasts and I’m thinking today would be a fantastic day to spend in my pj’s. Thankfully reading.

What a great idea! I unofficially started early yesterday and if my luck holds I’ll get through six or seven books before the weekend is over!

Jen, such a comfy inviting place to read! Enjoy! My day has started late but I did finish one book and instead of hitting the next in my stack I’ll be visiting the library…I have 3 books in so of course will have to wait and see what grabs me next. And I also have to work in putting up some lights outside…I guess it would be hard to read and do that
Awesome looking couch there! I’ll be interested to hear what you think of Matched.
Oh man your spot looks way more comfortable then mine….and the bookshelf you have with ALL those books wow …it made me drool (the books lol)
I have a question..do you snack a lot when you read..I seem to have that problem any tips on how not to??
Well I am officially starting out with I am Santa by Kristy Haile. Happy Reading to all of you! Boy I also love your nice comfy couch and bookshelf!
