I may not be reading as much, but I can say that I've read some wonderful books this year. I'm at least happy in that regard. :-)<br /><br /><b>Dar</b> - Thanks, Dar! I hope things are looking up for you.<br /><br /><b>Ingrid</b> - I think so too. Any excuse to relax with a good book is a good one. :-)<br /><br /><b>Jen</b> - I'm really looking forward to next weekend, being able to slow down and read to my heart's content. Thank you for hosting the event!<br /><br /><b>Jen (LadyTink)</b> - It must be an off year for many of us. :-( Here's to a more productive reading year in 2010. <br /><br /><b>Diane</b> - I was joking with hubby that the ER staff are going to know us by sight by the end of the month.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.<br /><br /><b>J.S.</b> - Isn't that always how it is? You try to schedule some quiet time for reading but something more pressing always seems to come up. Good luck to you too with your reading!<br /><br /><b>Carrie</b> - I have a tendency to forget it's Black Friday and venture out to run an errand or two. You'd think I'd remember on the day off--I remember at all other times. LOL I hate getting caught up in the crowds though, so try to stay home.<br /><br /><b>Melissa</b> - That's the feeling I get when I think of the read-a-thons too, Melissa. I know it doesn't have to be that way, but for so many it is--and I know it would be that way for me too. Give me a short deadline and I'm likely to cram.<br /><br /><b>Kathy</b> - I hope you have a nice visit with your nephew!<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - Thank you. I'm looking forward to some reading down time. :-)<br /><br /><b>Florinda</b> - I'm sorry you have to work the day after Thanksgiving, Florinda.

We just have so many things going on lately (good stuff but stuff that requires a lot of time). Unfortunately I probably won't be able to participate in the Thankfully Reading Weekend, which sounds so fun by the way, but who knows. Either way, I hope you get to enjoy your books and get a bit more reading done!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-5549610694887673772009-11-17T13:51:00.410-08:002009-11-17T13:51:00.410-08:00What a wonderful idea!

(Of course, now that I'm planning on it, I'll be super busy instead.) But my reading has taken a hit since about mid-July and I'm hoping that this'll be a way for me to finish off a few books. Either way, good luck with your reading! Who needs Black Friday when you have books? :)J.S.

LOL I hate the crowds and the fight for parking.<br /><br /><b>Yvonne</b> - It'll probably be a busy weekend for most people. I am not planning to sign up for an extra shift that weekend (I need a break).<br /><br /><b>Sassy Monkey</b> - Haha! I am sure the read-a-thon is what each participant makes of it. I worry though that I would drive myself crazy trying to juggle the blogging, tweeting and reading in such a short time frame. I'd turn it into a race whether it's meant to be or not. The other problem is that it has yet to be scheduled on a weekend I am available. Someday though I will brave it. As much fun as everyone seems to have, I can't help but want to share in that.<br /><br /><b>Nise'</b> - Sounds like a good plan! Best to avoid shopping that weekend, definitely!<br /><br /><b>Myckyee</b> - I know what you mean. It may turn out that your words prove true for me as well. I thought I'd give it a try though. I'm not committing to a time frame or a set number of books--I'm not even really making a list. I'm going to play it by ear.<br /><br />I appreciate the cheers!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-26409003535911881992009-11-17T05:33:51.865-08:002009-11-17T05:33:51.865-08:00Sounds like a fun event, but I'm not great at ...Sounds like a fun event, but I'm not great at challenges like these.
