I'm going to use these pretty pictures of fall leaves in my yard to pre-apologize for my upcoming absence from the blog. I have a couple of books here that I need to review but my reading and writing time will be seriously lacking over the next two weeks or so. Like last year, I'm the chairperson for our school's Scholastic Book Fair and it starts on Weds and goes through the following Friday. And if that wasn't enough, right in the middle of it, my dad is coming into town for a four day visit. It's going to be a lot of fun but I don't see myself having much free time!
I'll try and get some reviews pre-scheduled this weekend but, if I don't, you might not hear from me until after Nov. 16th. Wait, that's not entirely true. I'll be posting about
The Secret Garden on Nov. 15 at The Estella Society so you should join me for that. I'm reading the annotated edition so I'm learning a lot of interesting things. This is one of my favorite books and even after the first few pages, I'm already loving it yet again.

Love your pics!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck over the next couple of weeks! I hope you have a great time and the book fair is a HUGE success!!
Thank you very much! The book fair is always a really fun time -- it's just exhausting for someone whose used to having a more flexible schedule. :)
DeleteGreat photos; hope you accomplish a lot while away from the blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the book fair and see you soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy but fun week. Enjoy and we'll see you when you get back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on the Secret Garden readalong--I've decided to join you--though not sure when I'll post about the book--I am reading it now (my first time) and very much enjoying it--so thanks for the gentle push--whyever did I wait so long?? Would love to read the annotated version sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you're reading it and that you are enjoying it as well! There are so many books that I kick myself for picking up late. Oh well!
DeleteThe Yard sounds intriguing--especially since I love time travel stories and Victorian lit! Sounds like you had a very enjoyable spooky reading season--great time of year and I love your enthusiasm for it.
ReplyDeleteScholastic chairperson!! How fun! Although I'm sure it keeps you very busy. ;) I'll be doing a bit of traveling next week on business and I'm not looking forward to it. I guess the upside is a quiet hotel room where I can dive into Bleak House.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the visit with your dad!
I'm sad to say I've never read The Secret Garden. I KNOW RIGHT?! ;)
I wish I had time to reread Bleak House right now. I hope you like it! And we'll definitely have to get you to read The Secret Garden soon. It's short. :)
