Happy Holidays and Happy Reading

Today is the last day of school before our Christmas/Winter break. I'm looking forward to attacking my huge pile of books that I want to read. I have 33 books on my bedside table to read, 3 of which I've already started. I pick up different books depending on my mood. Somedays I'll be interested in reading non-fiction such as history or education, another day I need a good British mystery such as P.D. James. Young adult books and children's books are always on my list, especially good fantasy stories. I had been proud of myself for bringing my large pile under 20 titles this fall, before I attended FAME that is and purchased many more. Now, I have to decide which books to bring to Canada to read over the holidays. My husband gave me 3 books for Christmas (we opened our presents early so we don't need to take them up north)so those books will probably go in my suitcase.

Many students have been in here returning books and taking out new ones to read over the break. It's been great to see the large piles of books some are taking out to ensure they have enough reading material. It will be a very busy day on Jan. 9 when these books are all due back.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and a great holiday. I'm looking forward to hearing about the books everyone has read, and I'll have some to talk about as well.
