Busy, busy, busy holiday week! No time for blogging. I probably shouldn't even by typing this, but I couldn't stand to miss a Monday post! So, just a quick one, then back to wrapping gifts and cooking.
- I finished reading Time and Again by Jack Finney, the last of my Christmas gift books from LAST Christmas! I loved this novel about traveling back in time to 1882 NYC so much that it's characters are still with me days after I finished it - that's the sign of a great book!
- Now I am FINALLY reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, one of the year's top YA (and adult) novels that I have been wanting to read for many months - fitting it in just before the end of the year!
- My husband, Ken, finished Defending Jacob by William Landay last week and loved it! He said he can't tell me much about it without giving away surprises - I can't wait to read it!
- Ken has now started The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness - both he and I have been wanting to read this trilogy for a long time - our son says it is great!
- Jamie, 18, is still re-reading City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, book 4 in the Mortal Instruments series. He's been busy playing with his brother and cousins so hasn't had much reading time since coming home.
- I am still listening to Wildwood by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis, a middle-grade audio book, though I don't have much time to listen with a house full of people!
(What are you reading Monday is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey, with a kid/teen version hosted by Teach Mentor Texts.)

Feel you on the time crunch. Darn relatives and their demands! I'm glad to hear someone reading Time and Again-- wonderful time travel book. Makes it seem really possible. Hope you get some good books this Christmas.
I soooo want to read The Fault in Our Stars. Will have to make time for it in 2013.
