What’s Up Next?
This week, I’m cutting back on my list.

2. The Marriage Plot, by Jeffrey Eugenides
3. An Uncertain Refuge (e-book), by Carolyn J. Rose
***
Now I plan to have a relaxing week. With all the festivities ahead, I won’t have as much time to read.
What are the rest of you planning? I hope you’ll come on by and share.
It’s good to take a small break once in a while and charge up so to speak. Enjoy your slower reading week!

I agree…I’m catching up on movies today, as my DVR was getting full. I read a little bit, but felt relieved about not having to rush through anything. Thanks for stopping by, Laura.

I’m itching to read Marriage Plot. Will I ever get around to it?!
LikeLike
Oh, I hope so, Debbie…I have been staring at it for a few weeks, now; it’s not such a hefty book, but I kept telling myself if I started reading it, I wouldn’t get a lot of other books read. Silly reasons…I should just savor it!
Thanks for stopping by, Debbie. Enjoy your week.

I almost bought The Marriage Plot today, but then decided on something else… Like… Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. Supposed to be very good.

I am looking forward to NOT having guests! I generally go to other people’s houses these days…and I can luxuriate in reading at home.
I do a little cleaning, of course, but not the fierce kind you do when guests are coming.
Thanks for stopping by, Irene, and enjoy your Christmas.
