It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (November 27): 11/27/17
We had a quiet Thanksgiving in our new home. It was just the four of us and our cats. We roasted the smallest turkey we could find and managed by Sunday to eat through all our leftovers. My daughter made chocolate cake with mint frosting instead of pie. She helped me with the rolls.
We're doing a second Thanksgiving this coming weekend when my husband's parents come up to visit. In previous years we've gone down to their home but this year our schedules just didn't mesh. I'm keeping up with Nanowrimo. As of Sunday night, I have 47,100 words. What I read:

Glad you had a good time in your new home x Comment #2: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:34:00 Pussreboots Thanks. It was nice, quiet, and relaxing. Comment #3: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 05:35:05 Nice job on NaNoWriMo! Go you! And glad you had a nice Thanksgiving! Hope your second one is as enjoyable. Beyond the Bright Sea looks nice, and so does the Nancy Drew mystery and Farm Fresh Murder. Comment #4: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:36:00 Pussreboots Of those three, The Nanowrimo was pretty easy for me this year which surprised me since I took the last two or three years off. Plotwise I'm only about a quarter of the way through. Maybe I'll keep writing now. Or maybe I'll part two for next November.
Comment #5: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 07:13:07 Sometimes a quiet holiday is the best. Looks like you had a yummy meal. Comment #6: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:41:00 Pussreboots Thanks. It was just what we needed. Comment #7: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 10:27:44 How great to finally be settled enough to celebrate the holidays. Enjoy those books! Thanks for sharing, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES Comment #8: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:43:00 Pussreboots Thanks. We needed it. Comment #9: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 12:07:26 Kathy Martin We're still working on leftover turkey here. I also read Sweet Shadows and then bought and read Sweet Legacy to finish up the series. Come see my week here. Have a great week! Comment #10: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:45:00 Pussreboots I won't get to Comment #11: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 13:23:14 Those rolls look tasty. Great to get rid of left overs early and enjoy this week's dinner with the relatives. Comment #12: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 20:20:00 Pussreboots Thanks. It's just the roll recipe in the Betty Crocker cook book. I will post about this week's family Thanksgiving next Monday. Comment #13: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 06:57:19 All those books look good. Do your cats bother you for turkey? Mine do. Actually they bother us for whatever we are eating. LOL Have a great week! Comment #14: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 20:22:00 Pussreboots Last week's books over all were good. Tortuga cat always demands that we share when we have poultry. She likes turkey but her favorite is chicken. Salmon, on the other hand, is completely baffled by Tortuga's demands for table scraps. Comment #15: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:09:06 Happy Thanksgiving! Sounds like it was a wonderful family celebration. I love the cake your daughter made! :) The Many Reflections of Miss Jane Deming by J. Anderson Coats and The Someday Birds both look really good! Comment #16: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 20:28:00 Pussreboots Thanksgiving was nice and quiet this year. We usually travel so being able to stay home and read and cook was delightful. Both are good but I'm finding the protagonist in The Someday Birds more relatable. Comment #17: Monday, November 27, 2017 at 17:40:40 I just borrowed Beyond the Bright Sea from the library yesterday. Really looking forward to starting it this week. I've also heard good things about Braced, but haven't read it yet. Comment #18: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 20:34:00 Pussreboots I listened to the audo of Beyond the Bright Sea and was captivated start to fnish. I will be reviewing it in the middle of ext month. Braced took me by surprise and ended up personally relevant. I will be reviewing it soon too. Comment #20: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 20:39:00 Pussreboots I would like to read more of it than I do. Comment #21: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 15:02:58 It looks like you have some great books on your list. Comment #22: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 18:11:00 Pussreboots Thanks. I enjoyed them. Comment #23: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at 17:44:24 Love the cake's colors. Rolls look good too. Wow...lots of books. Is Emma Donoghue the author who wrote ROOM? ENJOY your week. Comment #24: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 18:11:00 Pussreboots Rolls were good. Cake too. My daughter chose her favorite colors. This week will have even more books. Emma Donoghue is in deed the author of Room. Comment #25: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at 09:06:52 Laura @ Library of Clean Reads Looks like you're doing great with your Nanowrimo writing! November is such a crazy month for me that I could never take on such a major project. Enjoy your reading week! Comment #26: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 19:02:00 Pussreboots I took the last couple years off because I was either too busy or didn't have a reliable computer. This year I wasn't as busy as I have been, had a reliable machine, and ideas rattling around my head. I only decided at the last minute. I did zero prepwork. Comment #27: Friday, December 01, 2017 at 08:40:31 Hey! I really enjoyed Alex & Eliza! I posted it weeks ago yet I still laugh at some of the scenes every now and then! Congrats on ur new home! That’s so exciting! Thanks for dropping by! Comment #28: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 19:09:00 Pussreboots I'm curious to read the sequel. Comment #29: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 19:15:19 Your dinner looked delicious. I gave up on NaNoWriMo last week, I just wasn't in it this year. Comment #30: Sunday, December 03, 2017 at 19:12:00 Pussreboots That last Nanowrimo I participated in — 2013 or 2014 — I don't really remember — I ended up giving up on after three days. Most years that I participate I make it all the way to the end. Comment #31: Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 04:16:30 Sounds like a pretty decent Thanksgiving! And the books look really great! Thank for stopping by! Happy reading! Comment #32: Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 14:13:00 Pussreboots It was a good Thanksgiving — both times.
