I love Thanksgiving. I love the smells of roasting turkey and baking pie. I love having people over. I love cooking and baking and meal planning and all of it.
I also love the four-day weekend, which gives me time to read, read, read.
What’s on my list?
- Bookkeeping for Dummies by Lita Epstein
- Raising Resilient Children by Robert Brooks and Sam Goldstein
- North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley
- Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
Even at my very best, that’s a lot of reading to get done in four days, especially as it will be crammed in between roasting a turkey, baking a pie, and cooking up cranberry chutney. For which, in general, I rely on Thanksgiving 101 by Rick Rodgers.
This long weekend will also be a good time to catch up on my blog reading, which has fallen woefully behind.
Chances are good you’ll see write-ups of North of Beautiful (use of theme) and Fever 1793 (research) once I do finish reading them.
In the meantime, enjoy your four-day weekend. If you choose to celebrate Thanksgiving, enjoy that too!
…You’re gonna write an article on themes? Didn’t I just send you one of those so you could edit it? Why does everyone write the same kind of articles at the same time?
Happy thanksgiving! Sorry for being snippety.
Only as Justina Chen does it in her book! Not as an overall how to use themes. ‘Course, I still have to finish the book. Got all distracted by reading “NutureShock” instead!
