It is almost time to go back to my work-week routine and, in the days leading up to waking up at 5:30am, I find myself enjoying the gift my children gave me for my birthday.
I began reading the first novel last week Thursday – that is, four days ago. Even though I had seen the film already, I found myself enjoying the humour and the little details that were not written in the screenplay. Friday evening I had to delve into the second tome of the series. And on Sunday afternoon, I could not resist cracking open the third. The story is a fun, contemporary tale that describes the craziness of the ultra rich (and makes a little fun of them).
This weekend I have read for many hours, immersing myself in Kevin Kwan’s story. It has made me smile – and encouraged me to enjoy the remaining moments of my break until I am back in the craziness of work. I was hoping to complete the tale before my Sunday bedtime. Alas! I do not think I will manage to do so.
How did you spend the last moments of your break for the Holidays?

I haven’t had time to get that lost in reading in a while. OK, I guess a couple of months, but… maybe I can soon. At least your book hangover is a hangover you can feel good about 🙂

I agree. So much better than one caused by alcohol 🙂

We saw the movie but I haven’t read the book yet.

As always, the book has so much more detail than the movie. I am loving the humour in the series.
