Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! I hope everyone has been enjoying their time with their loved ones, eating great food and just relaxing. We spent the weekend in Illinois with my family, watching The Muppets and lots and lots of football. Of course, there may have been some overeating involved too, but ’tis the season, right?
The big trip is tomorrow. I think I am prepared. I ended up having to complete two weeks’ of work in three days. Somehow, I managed to finish it all. Well, I know how I finished everything; it’s called no lunches and twelve-hour work days. After those three days, I know I am ready for anything and am even looking forward to the opportunity to get away for the craziness of this pending week, as people panic and speculate and worry about the official changeover, which happens on Thursday.
In honor of Thanksgiving, I kept it light for reviews this week. I figured everyone was going to be too busy shopping or recovering from their food comas to pay attention to blogs this week. I did review the following:
- Three-Ten to Yuma by Elmore Leonard (audiobook)
- When She Woke by Hillary Jordan
- Children of Paranoia by Trevor Shane (audiobook)
Since I will be spending at least twenty-four hours on the road this week, I am hoping to get through at least one chunkster to finish up the What’s In a Name Challenge for the year. It means bringing a huge print copy with me, but the opportunity is too good to overlook.
That’s about it for me. We need to get on the road to get home early enough for me to wash clothes, pack and prepare for the big trip. Have a great week, everyone. Happy reading!
It comes highly recommended to me, so I know I will! 😉
I hope you like that chunkster. 😉
Isn't it sad how quickly we get used to the long hours? I am really hoping that the changeover on Thursday will help everyone settle down so that we can get back to business as usual.
It was SO good!! We saw it with my parents, my brother and his family. The kids have no real idea who the Muppets were, but even they enjoyed it. There were some slow moments, but the humor totally made up for those scenes. Enjoy!
Thanks, Lola!
LOL! Since it is only 33 minutes, I think Three-Ten to Yuma is a great introduction to audiobooks! Good luck with it. I hope you feel better soon!
I feel your pain with the no-lunch, 12 hour work days. I've been working a lot of those lately, often up to 14 hours. It's gotten to the point where 9 hours feels like a short day. They are no fun but at least you have a trip to look forward to!
I am hoping to see the new Muppets movie next week. I have been hearing good things about it. Enjoy your reading time!

I hope you get a lot of reading done during all your travels!
Hey, I'm paying attention to the blogs…um, yeah, I sure have a cold and don't have much of a life 😉 but I am paying attention. Thanks for the audiobook review of Three Ten To Yuma. It might be one I'll have to check out…I'm just getting into audiobooks, a little bit anyway.
