    Thankfully Reading Weekend: Wrap Up Post

    ThankIt’s now nearing the end of the first (annual!?) Thankfully Reading Weekend.  I had an incredibly relaxing weekend!  Not only did I read, but I spent quality time with my boys decorating for Christmas. We also had our Christmas pictures taken and the boys got to see Santa.  A very rewarding and thankful weekend, overall!

    I finished two of the three books I’d planned to read. I think I would have finished the third had I not spent most of the day today catching up on the “V” series with my husband!  I did manage to finish Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (still can’t stop thinking about this one!) and Now &  Then by Jacqueline Sheehan.  Check for my review of Now & Then tomorrow (Monday) and my review of Shutter Island later on this week!

    I hope everyone enjoyed Thankfully Reading Weekend! Be sure to link your wrap up posts here.

    Thankfully Reading, Day Two!

    Thank

    I had a very productive day yesterday!  We put up the tree and all the trimmings by ten AM.  Then I set down to read.  I completed Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. Wow!  What a book!  If you haven’t read it, read it now! It was so good I had to take a break from reading for the rest of the night.  I’m still thinking about it!

    Today I’m reading Now & Then by Jacqueline Sheehan.  I hope to finish it today.

    I hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing weekend.  If you are reading, please share what you are reading about!

    My Plans for Thankfully Reading Weekend

    ThankI hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving yesterday!  I’m still recovering from all the eating I did yesterday!

    I’m pretty excited to spend the weekend reading! I’m not one of those crazy people that wake up at the crack of dawn to go shopping.  Instead, I’ll curl up with a book or two instead.

    So, here is a list of books I plan on reading this weekend.

    Publication1Ok!  It’s time I get back to reading!  If you are participating in Thankfully Reading Weekend, please be sure to link your posts to the Mr. Linky here.

    *Update: It’s 4 pm on Thankfully Reading Weekend Day One!  I’m almost finished with Shutter Island. Wow!  The boys and I spent a good portion of the morning putting up our Christmas tree and decorating for Christmas.  This is the first year I’ve decorated this early! It’s chilly and windy outside, and the sky has the look of winter.  What a perfect day to curl up with a book!
