The week
Who cares what happened last week? I don’t remember. I’m on holiday now. 🙂
Ok, well, the highlight was probably the book group evening where we welcomed a new member who some of you may know: Ciska of Ciska’s Book Chest. She is a pleasant addition to our group of crazies (I hope we didn’t scare her off). I also took part in ArmchairBEA (see my earlier posts).
So, holiday… I’m in Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands to the West of North Africa (Spanish territory). On my own in a nice hotel. The hotel is so big I had to ask where the pool was . 🙂
I’m going to be brief with this weekly report, pictures rather than words. Have a great week!

Enjoy Judith ! I hope the skies are sunny, the drinks chilled and the books fabulous!
Thanks Shelleyrae. Yes the weather is nice and I’m in the middle of a good book. Have really only drunk coffee and bottled water so far …

Enjoy your holiday, I hope you like Paolo Giordano, I loved this book and it is one of my favorites!
Have a great week (and don’t get lost in the hotel!)
Kind regards,
Thanks, Bettina. I’m almost ready to start Prime Numbers, just a small book (700 pages) in between. 🙂 I took too many books on holiday, what’s new?
WOW – yeah you! Sounds like a lovely destination. I’m sure you will find time to relax, enjoy and… read. I tend to read so much on vacation (having the time).
I’m reading a lot, Mari, but will definitely not get through the pile I took with me – you know, the standard set plus the just-in-case-I-run-out books.
Enjoy your holiday, Judith. And try to bring some sunshine back with you. 🙂
Thanks, Nadine. Will do my best.
Hope you’re enjoying it (it sounds as though you are 🙂 ), short posts make sense.
So far, Â so fun, Â Charlie.Â
Enjoy your holiday! I really loved the book group evening 🙂
Glad to hear it, Ciska! Â

I have to read some Rachel Joyce, both of her books sound so good!
Monika, I loved Rachel Joyce’s first book. This one sounds good too.
Enjoy your holiday! I’ve heard amazing things about the Canary Islands! I hope to visit there myself someday. Hope you share some highlights about your holiday.
It’s very beautiful here, Melissa. I’m doing an organised tour of the island tomorrow, so I hope to see much more. It is a small but very varied island.
I’m looking forward to some holiday photos, too! Sounds marvelous. I love a getaway with time to read!
Oops, I better take some more pics, Laurie. I only took my (new) phone but I think it does a good job with its camera.
Happy holidays! Remember to take more pictures!
