gobble gobble

 This will not be me this year.  I spent the past weekend in Dallas with the family so that I have FIVE days off.  After cleaning and cooking for the husband and the dogs, I plan to read.  The only question is, what?  Here's what's on tap:

Where'd you go, Bernadette?
  Actually, I've already started this.  Highly readable, as they say, but I'm not quite hooked yet.  Bernadette is a brilliant architect who, despite her young age, has seen her best years.  I can't figure out if she's a genius or insane, or a little of both.  It seems that most geniuses are a mix, doesn't it?  I guess it's that  their brains are wired differently than everyone elses.  At any rate, Bernadette disappears right before she is to take a trip to the Antartic with her family.  The story is told via letters and emails from the various figures in her life.  I do like the varying points of view that provide inside to the many facets of her personality...kind of reminds me of a Tom Robbins character.  We shall see!

Reconstructing Amelia
See earlier post (the one right below),  but this one I can't wait to get my hands on!
Reconstructing Amelia

Anna and the French kiss
Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1)  Recommended by John Green, this sounds like just the thing for this Francophile to escape into over a nice relaxing break.  I've spent some time on Perkin's blog, and I already like her.  Can't wait to get started on this one!

So.  Thanksgiving break will be spent with Books, The Husband, The Dogs and The Cat.  All of which I am very, very thankful for.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!

PS What are YOU reading?  I usually don't post responses because this is a "school" blog, but I'd at least love to hear what you're reading.
