Nothing like a low-key weekend to heal the body, especially since you have a crazy busy week ahead of you. We've been invited to our good friends' home for Thanksgiving, so I'm rejoicing that I don't have to cook a turkey dinner for just the two of us. Especially since I have to go to work the following day at 6 AM! It will be nice to hang out with our friends and get to bed early.<br /><br />Enjoy your holiday with the kids and try to rest a bit. Nothing worse that a relapse!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-89672341878115977172015-11-23T17:13:26.005-05:002015-11-23T17:13:26.005-05:00Elizabeth - Have fun in NYC!!

I didn't do the goodreads challenge this year because I was also trying to make count by reading shorter fiction. And what do you know? I have read more books this year than in the last year.

When you read chunksters perhaps a lower book count for your goal on Goodreads would count! One year I even lowered my goal. No rule to say you can't change it.

I'm currently looking for something good to read while I'm house and pet sitting with a sweet little Papillon and a big Maine Coon cat over the holiday. I always have a stack in waiting, but right now I'm anxiously awaiting the latest Robert Galbraith book to come my way from the library. I don't usually cook for Thanksgiving, but will have the pans busy for Christmas.
