Stacy - Sixty is amazing! LOL. To me anyway since I am lucky to read 70-80 books a year pre-baby. I made the mid-30's mark this past year. I am happy with that though. It is more than I expected.

Kathleen - I am not sure I am the best judge of picture books. LOL. I wasn't able to make it to the bookstore like I hoped and so Mouse had to be satisfied with the books she got from other family members.

I look forward to hearing more about the books you...

I look forward to hearing more about the books you have chosen for your daughter. I have some nieces and nephews that will most likely benefit from your recommendations!

Yes, I'm not sure the pre-baby reading will return til they start school :) I feel like I've been working hard to read a lot this year and was amazed that at the end of November I'd only read 60! That's okay, we have important things to take care of :)

Samantha - I hope you do get a chance to re...

Samantha - I hope you do get a chance to read it later, Samantha. It was so good!

Carrie - That really is the meaning of a challenge, isn't it? To stretch yourself. I will probably take the easy way out this year and join challenges that aren't quite so challenging.

Heather - I hope the drive goes good and everyone gets along. We would have been driving too--8 hours one way. We had planned to be gone a week early in December since that's the only time my husband could get off work. There will be other opportunities, I'm sure. :-)

Ti - I don't blame you. Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough. I'm at that point too, I think.

Yvonne - I'm so glad you did, Yvonne! Thank you. I plan to join a couple more too.

Trish - Unfortunately, I don't imagine we will be making the trip north any time soon. Maybe at least to my in-laws.

I hope you have a great Christmas holiday too!

Amy (My Friend Amy) - It worked out for the best, I think. Mouse ended up with yet another cold. :-S

Elisabeth - Oo! Those sound good! I hope you are enjoying them.

Amy (Seven Tails) - I do enjoy picking out books for her. :) I usually just end up browsing the shelves and picking whatever catches my eye.

Our trip was for the first week in December so we would have been home for Christmas anyway. I know we disappointed a lot of people--and I feel bad about that--but it really was going to be too much.

I am glad you enjoyed The Night Circus. It does sound good!

Kelly - Hubby and I got a date day out of it so it worked out okay in the end. :-)

Emeraldfire - Thanks! I like being home for the holidays too. That was one thing hubby wanted to do this year--have Christmas in our new home with our new baby. :-)

Melody - The holidays sure did creep up on us at a fast clip, didn't they? I can't believe Christmas is coming up this next weekend.

I need to read Rebecca. I am glad you enjoyed it!

Megan - I really enjoyed it, Megan. Now to right my review, which I almost forgot about. Ugh.

I hope you are enjoying The Hunger Games!

I'm so sorry that your travel plans didn't pan out this season. Hopefully too much time doesn't pass before your next visit (or I guess first in some cases).

If I don't make it back this week, I hope that you, Anjin, and Mouse have a wonderful wonderful Christmas holiday. Please just one picture of Mouse??? ;)

I'm addicted to challenges. I can't stop joining. I joined yours too :)

2011-12-12T14:08:54.583-08:00

I am not 100% done with what I need to do for the holidays but I decided yesterday that I am calling it quits. I just don't want to spend anymore money or time. Seriously. It gets to be a bit much.

Oh, I am sorry that you won't get the chance t...

2011-12-12T08:33:27.611-08:00

Oh, I am sorry that you won't get the chance to travel this year to the family, but I can understand with everyone having been so sick. I am not really in the mood to travel either, but I will be doing it! It's only a car trip, but it means hanging out in the car for 6 hours on Christmas with people who are currently not getting along. :( I hope that they start to behave before Christmas or Santa is NOT coming!

I'm glad you are all starting to see the end o...

2011-12-11T22:05:15.918-08:00

I'm glad you are all starting to see the end of the icky sickness! I know what you mean about challenges - I signed up for a lot this year that really weren't challenges - they were books I would be reading anyway. This year, I'm going to stick to challenges that actually stretch my reading horizons.

I can't wait to hear your final thoughts on Wi...

2011-12-11T18:08:15.637-08:00

I can't wait to hear your final thoughts on Witchlander!! I had it checked out from the library but sadly it when back unread. I'm hoping to pick it up again at a later date :) Hope you have a great week!

2011-12-11T15:57:17.322-08:00

Witchlanders sounds like a promising read! I hope it ends as well as it's begun.

I'm reading YA right now, too. I'm way late to the party, but I'm finally reading The Hunger Games series. Can't believe I waited this long!

Witchlanders sounds like a good read! I'll have to check it out. I'm currently reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and it's sooo good!

Hello Literary,
I'm in between books at the moment. I love your blog! I always enjoy staying home for Christmas. http://rubyandthetwins.blogspot.com/2011/12/wonderful-award-given-to-me-by.html

Hello! WHat fun it will be buying books for Mouse! Do you know what you want to get her?

I'm sorry your travel plans fell through. I admit, though, that being home for Christmas has always been my favorite!

I'm glad you're reading something you are enjoying so much. I finished The Night Circus recently...it was great!

2011-12-11T11:31:30.595-08:00

Hope everyone gets to meet Mouse soon! I am reading Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen and An Irish Country Village by Patrick Taylor. The last 2 are actually audios.
