BiblioAddict The First Step on the Road to Recovery

On delicious sweet potato pie and thankfully reading weekend:

First things first: happy Thanksgiving Day to all of my American ladies and gents!  May your table be abundantly full with turkey, and yams, and beets, and corn, and stuffing, and pie, and… I’m making myself hungry.  Lately, I’ve been spending Thanksgiving with my family or BiblioGuy’s family, but this year BiblioGuy and I have decided to do a Turkey Day of two.  It’s going to be an extremely modest affair, especially since we’re not going to do very much cooking.  There will, however, be sweet potato pie, which is really all I require in a Thanksgiving meal.

Because this year’s Thanksgiving weekend is going to be relatively quiet for me, I’ll be participating in the Thankfully Reading Weekend challenge.  This isn’t really a challenge since there are no rules, book quota or genre requirement, not even a sign-up page, but you can sign up here nevertheless!  The only thing Thankfully Reading Weekend requires is that participants do as much (or as little) reading as they want from Nov. 26-29th. You can use this weekend to catch up on challenges, polish off a few titles, or anything else you’d like to do.  Me, I’ll be using this weekend to polish off a few (*cough, cough*) titles.

Those titles inclue:

Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories by M.R. James

No Name by Wilkie Collins

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

Sag Harbor by Colsen Whitehead

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters

Travels With Herodotus by Ryszard Kapuscinski

The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama

All the Names by Jose Saramago

How Beautiful It Is and How Easily It Can Be Broken by Daniel Mendelsohn

Beowulf on the Beach by Jack Murnighan

I’ll also try to use this weekend to close out a few New Yorker magazines.  I don’t say “caught up,” because getting caught up with my New Yorkers in four days would be virtually impossible even if was the only thing I read.  I’ll be around to let you know how I’m doing.  Until then, happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating and a happy weekend to the rest of you.  And happy reading to all of you.
