ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..........
Yup, that's about how my weekend went. A very nasty head cold attacked me, and so I spent the majority of my weekend in a menthol fog (thanks to my humidifier and Viks goodness) either sleeping or reading. I actaully managed to read 3 books, too: Spindle's End by Robin McKinley (a retelling of Sleeping Beauty - very good!), The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznik (sp? - it won a Caldecott medal for illustrations, even though it's a couple inches thick. Very fun!), and Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. So, I guess you could call my time somewhat productive. :)
I actually even managed to pull myself from my stupor long enough to go with my friend to the USU/BYU hockey game Saturday night. We won (of course!), and it was a great game. It was good to get out of the house, but by the time the game was over, I was ready to rest again. My head (particularly one half of it) was pounding, stuffed up, and headed down the loopy road again. lol!
I am starting to feel a bit better, but I am still not 100% Hmmm...maybe I can justify blowing off another night to read....
I love books!

So sorry you've been sick! I've had a pretty nasty cold myself but since I work from home, I've had to keep going. I'm dieing to finish reading Pride and Prejudice. Yes, I've never read it before. I was supposed to finish it for book club (which I'm in charge of) last Thursday, but only made it part way through. Way too busy I guess! If only I really had the time to fully indulge in my passion for reading. That's so cool that you were able to read so many books. Hope you get better soon!

Did you like Goose Girl? Brittney and I read it as well as "Book of a Thousand Days" by the same author. I liked Goose Girl best of the two, Brittney liked the other one better. They were enjoyable reads with good messages.
I'm currently reading "Pride and Prejudice as well". Figured I should since it's a classic.

Brionne, in "Pride and Prejudice" what or where does "----shire" refer to? Is it a place like Hellshire or Damshire?
