Pheww... <br /><br />And, ohhh, yes, I'm glad you're going to give War a chance! Reading it after the holidays is a good idea. :) I'm dreaming about my 10 days... dreaming! *g*Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-44458725003200178662011-12-19T19:38:17.028-05:002011-12-19T19:38:17.028-05:00This month is flying by!

I've been in a baking mood lately. :)<br /><br />I'm getting War from the library but I'll wait until after the holidays since I don't think I'll be in the mood for it until then. <br /><br />10 days off sounds heavenly! Enjoy!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-60437366520230509822011-12-19T15:01:25.934-05:002011-12-19T15:01:25.934-05:00LOL, I did find some time! December and whining......LOL, I did find some time! December and whining... it's becoming a tradition. Sigh... I think we're all just burned out by the end of the year. *g* <br /><br />RE: Bending the Rules. I'm reading this trilogy backwards. I began with the 3rd book and now read the 2nd. Now I have the 1st book in my TBR left to read -- I'm hoping that book works for me. I thought Poppy was fun up to a certain point, and I liked how the book started and some of it worked, but yeah... it didn't work for me like Playing Dirty. I loved Ava! *g*Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-6759130375858440002011-12-19T13:41:14.531-05:002011-12-19T13:41:14.531-05:00Hey, you had time to whip up this post LOL. You...Hey, you had time to whip up this post LOL. You're doing better than me!<br /><br />I've been so behind on everything :( Sigh. LOL, seems like December is a month for us to whine!<br /><br />I actually enjoyed Bending the Rules more than the first book. Sorry it didn't work out so well for you :( I liked Poppy, she was just fun :)nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-77422903449719360202011-12-19T08:13:57.594-05:002011-12-19T08:13:57.594-05:00Jeffrey, I really enjoyed reading Detours.

It was a pleasure. :) I definitely recommend WAR and the documentary "Restrepo," if you haven't seen it. Together they make quite an impact. <br /><br />Ahh, December(s) they're great, but yes... exhausting. Sorry to hear you're on the same boat. I'm looking forward to a few days off.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-52044823328232074662011-12-18T19:25:00.424-05:002011-12-18T19:25:00.424-05:00Wow, thank you so much, Hilcia!

WAR sounds really interesting; I think I'll have to add that to my to-read list.<br /><br />And I think my December sounds a lot like yours; I've got tons of deadlines at work, even more waiting for me when I sit down to write, and then there's that whole Christmas shopping thing....Jeffrey Rickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092417221754047322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-69499386465404494262011-12-18T08:35:54.724-05:002011-12-18T08:35:54.724-05:00Alex, my reading is all over the place lately.

I get reader's exhaustion by December. *g* Morsi, check out Morsi!<br /><br />Lori, War! You read it! I've also watched a few interviews with Junger. I just knew the content was going to be interesting, but what I didn't expect was for it to grab me the way it did. I'm glad that I read the book before watching the documentary (Restrepo), because by then I had a better understanding of what was going on. Powerful. PS: As I said in the comment section of my mini, now I have to pick up The Good Soldiers by David Finkel, I understand that book is also excellent.Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-47729101058744565122011-12-17T23:45:38.400-05:002011-12-17T23:45:38.400-05:00War was so amazing.
