We have been having a FABULOUS time here. Hanging out, reading, drinking margaritas, eating cookies, reading, watching Buffy… Our plan for later today is to head to the beach. I am not looking forward to returning to the snow tomorrow, although I am excited to see my family again.
Here’s what I’ve read so far this week:
And last week’s reviews:
We also had a really great BOOK CLUB discussion about The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah, from Graywolf Press on Tuesday. If you’ve read it I encourage you to check it out and chime in.
If I drank those margaritas, I wouldn’t get much reading done because I’d be sleeping. I’m glad you’re having so much fun in the sun! (It’s warm here in SC, too.)
Sounds like you are having a great week so far! I’ve got Wither on my shelves and am planning on reading it soon…can’t wait to hear what you thought of it!
Wow! You got lots of reading done! I’m curious what you thought of Wither. I just started reading it and it’s a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
The weather here the last week has been the best all winter! A girl needs a getaway like that every now and again. Soak up all the melatonin you can…
You have a fabulous list of books there. Enjoy the reading and the vacation.
It sounds like you had a lovely time
Have fun honey!!!!
I am so very thrilled for all of you to be able to meet up and spend time in Florida. I think if I were on vacation I would not read a single word. Enjoy your time!
Man, that looks like the perfect vacation…books, water, sun and margaritas.
Looks like you’re having a fabulous time! I would trade some of the snow for some sun, too!
I’m looking forward to your review of The Paris Wife!
Yeah, Rub in the sunny part why don’t you! LOL!
February means Spring in Vancouver. Our daffodils are even starting to come up. However, yesterday it snowed. It only snows here once or twice in winter and I have never seen that much snow in February before. very unusual.
Jealous of you and that nice weather! That cover…The Fates Will Find Their Way…is mesmerizing. I want to read it just for that!
The discussion was good. I am afraid I dropped the ball after a while. I’ll go see what I missed after about 4pm. Thanks again!
Add me to the jealous list, as I’m sitting here shivering! Sounds like you’re having a wonderful time, so hope you enjoy yourself! I’ll just imagine I’m somewhere warn, on a beach, sipping margaritas. *L*
Looking forward to seeing what you thought of Wither! Safe travels!
I wish spring would get here! We are having some terrible weather tonight!
Thanks for bringing along VIOLETS on vacation!! Hope you enjoyed! xo
