This is my last week of work before the break, so I find myself doing last-minute, work-related items but I’m still managing to get my reading in. Yes, sometimes it’s at my desk here at work but it all counts in my book.

My favorite time of the day right now is right after dinner. The Girl and I get into our jammies, grab our latest read and head off to my room to get cozy. I am reading Last Night in Twisted River on my Kindle. Let me tell you, my Kindle is an endless source of fascination for The Girl. She taunts me with “What page are you on?” more times than I can count.

I read somewhere that the Google e-book store will have versions with page numbers, but depending on the font size you use, you could end up with 20 pages with the same page number. I’m not sure what’s worse. No page numbers or the same darn page over and over again.

What is The Girl reading? She is reading Little Women. The library at her school weeds through their books regularly and takes out anything that is tattered or torn. Well, The Girl can’t stand to see a book go into the trash (I raised her right!) so she she nabs them when she can. This time, she nabbed Little Women. It’s a really old copy and very short so I can only imagine what was taken out, but she’s loving it. I just get a kick out of the fact that she is reading Little Women. She’s only seven.

As for break, a friend from work let me borrow his Harry Potter series, so that’s what I will be reading in between the books for the Indie Lit Awards shortlist. Oh, the shortlist is going to be good. I can’t wait to share it with you next week.

Speaking of breaks, what will you be reading over the holidays?

Oh, and if you don’t mind, please answer this question for me.
