It's Monday, What Are You Reading? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, that is guaranteed to add to your reading list.
Week in Review:
It's been a crazy week, as I am sure it must have been for a lot of you out there! When I wasn't running around all crazy like, I was mostly falling asleep on the couch early in the evening. The hubs and I did watch a few holiday movies before I crashed, so that was fun. We also made sure to have a little quiet together time Saturday, and took a ride around Belle Isle. We stopped in at the Belle Isle Nature Zoo because I love to watch the birds, and while we were there got to feed the albino fallow deer!

I also entered a contest hosted by author Christopher Golden, and won! My giant box of books came Saturday, I am super excited!

Reading this Week:
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: With a little more downtime in the next few days, I am sure I will finish this short story. I did start it and I am in love.
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel: If I manage to finish A Christmas Carol, I plan on starting Station Eleven. I have heard good things!

Oh what fun to win that whole stack of books! I will look up that author now-- he is a new one to me and I'm always on the lookout for new-to-me authors. Try to rest up and enjoy your Christmas. Hope you get some reading done this week.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be mainly a horror writer. I read Snowblind at the beginning of the year and I loved it!! It was so good! I can only hope the rest of his work is as well. Thanks Rita! I do plan on taking this week a little easier and slower. :)
DeleteHow nice to win those books, I think its always exciting to win something and when it turns up even better! Albino deer are cute. Have a great Christmas and enjoy any reading you sneak in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn! Those deer were so cute!
DeleteIt has been crazy, with the holiday approaching so fast. Good grief. It's going to be over before we know it. It's nice to find a little downtime amidst all the holiday craziness. Hope you have a merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteEvery year I say I am going to take the holiday season slower, but it never happens somehow. I think I did manage to slow it down a tad this year, mainly due to the fact that I literally can't do as much without being tired this time around. It was nice to drive around Belle Isle and just take it easy for an hour or two. :) Have a great Christmas as well!
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful Christmas! I loved A Christmas Carol and I might reread that soon. I also want to read Station Eleven though it isn't my usual kind of book. I have read so many positive reviews of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina! It's not my thing either, but so many bloggers I respect have loved it, so I am going to give it a whirl. :) I think it helps it takes place in my area!
DeleteWhat a lovely unexpected Christmas gift; winning the stack of books.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get round to reading A Christmas Carol soon, it is a reread though so not essential... I just like reading it yearly.
Merry Christmas, Erin!

Thanks Jade! I can't believe I have never read it before. I think I was intimidated by it being written by Charles Dickens! :) Merry Christmas!
