What to read? The trouble with time...

Two things:

1. I'm going through my memory trying to update my Goodreads account for all the books I have read and I realize that is never going to happen. Maybe I can just add to my list slowly as I think of the books I've read over the years and try to remember if I like them or not. I think for now I will just add the ones I really like a lot and add the most recent books I've read and own.

2. In the mean time, what do I read next? I have no paper and ink books that I'm excited to read right now, and it's not the same to read from the old school Kindle. Last week, as I was packing for the holiday break I wondered what book to bring home with me since I will have SO much time to read. Well, I forgot about a few things, there is house cleaning to be done, snowflakes to make to turn this into a white Christmas (even if it means only in the house), cookies to bake, and gifts to wrap. So how am I going to get any reading done?

Ah, ha! Audio books! There is nothing like sitting down or lounging on the couch with a book in hand smelling the glue, paper, and ink and feeling my hand fall asleep as I get deeper and deeper into the story. However, I'm at the point that I feel like I don't have the luxury to do that right now. There is so much to do to get ready for Wednesday, when my celebrations start! I will get on my library website and download an audio book in my Overdrive, then my whole house can listen to the latest adventure.

Hmm... Can you make a snowflake in the shape of a ship? What do you think English 10, should we journey Around the World in January? English 12, what about you? Should we join Gulliver on his travels?
