Vacation Reads

So...Foodie February is going to be cut short because I'm taking a last minute girls beach vacation with my momma!

Despite FF being shortened, I promise when I get back I will host my Foodie Feb giveaway (I'm super excited for someone to win one of my fave foodie gems)!  In the meantime...these are the books I'm taking with me to the beach:

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

On the Road by Jack Kerouac (the Btown Booksters pick this month!)

I'm on Vacay!

So...at this moment I'm probably sitting on a beach reading underneath one of these cabanas (I can't be sure because I'm writing this post ahead of time).  Anyways...due to my vacation, my posts will be light for the next week.  But hopefully I'll come back with all sorts of lovely reading accomplished!  I only brought chunksters with me this time around.  My reading list is as follows:

Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness (finally!)

Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett

To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Wells

The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe

Case Histories by Kate Atkinson

Going on Vacation Alertz!

Sorry to leave y'all in the lurch...but I'm going to the untouched pristine of the North Woods for a long 4th of July weekend!  I can't wait to breathe in that oxygen-rich piney goodness!  Here's the books I'll be bringing with me:

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

The Cypress House by Michael Koryta

State of Wonder by Anne Patchett

I don't have the highest hopes of reading all these since there's a large group of us heading to Upper MI...all the same, a girl can try!  I hope you all have a fantastic weekend - I'll be back to blogging on Wednesday.

Life Update...Vacation Hiatus

As of this weekend, I will no longer be cozy in my house with the spring rain falling softly outside (yes, I'm one of those strange people who loves the rain).  The hubs and I are going to the sunny 80-degree weather of Palm Springs, CA!  It's a bit of business (solar conference) mixed with pleasure and I am gleefully looking forward to getting a smidgen of sun on my pasty face.  So, this here blog will be on a little weekend hiatus until I get back (although weekend neglect of the blog is pretty much the norm); however, I hopefully will have devoured several books whilst traveling and have lots of reviews to share.  I'll leave you all with a postcard of my vacay spot that is sure to invoke envy....mwahaha!

Granted, this is a photo of a golf course, which I wouldn't be caught dead on, but pretty nonetheless, no?
