Good morning I mumble with COFFEE CUP too to my lips. Time management ya know… 😉
Today is the final day of the home show and I am ready to be done… this year really has been a long show. I love hanging with the people and seeing everyone that attends but the 10 hours of hanging out in the concessions has caused my feet to hurt and the rest of me to silently scream “Are We Done Yet?”
Today it closes at 4 so that isn’t so bad and normally this weekend show doesn’t get this reaction out of me…. I just think I am overbooked lately and with down time lacking… I crave a day to unplug (Monday is going to be that day for me… I took the day off of work, canceled all meetings…. U N P L U G).
On a happier less whiny note, I actually was reading yesterday – a little at the show and then a couple of hours worth when I got home. While it was not the book I planned to read – it is the book I was meant to read. Little Princes by Conor Grennan is so far – a delight. I love the authors experiences in Nepal, am amazed at the children that are trafficked in this country. What an awful word. Yes Conner’s story is one that gives my heart hope, reminds me quite a bit of my time in Honduras, and is one of those books where you look at what one person has done to make a difference and makes me personally want to do more. Conner is a witty author whose humor I appreciate and there are so many times so far that I have agreed with what he was saying as I could picture it happening.
Ok… this wasnt suppose to be a mini review…. LOL…
I am off – have a super Sunday! 😀
Book Journey 
I hope you will get some much needed rest tomorrow and that everything goes well at the home show today.
I am glad that you are enjoying Little Princes. I have a copy but haven’t started it yet. I look forward to reading your review. Have a great rest of the weekend!
I am loving it Christina! As for the home show… Monday is recoop day 🙂
I’ve got this one on my shelf; need to get to it. :p
Glad to hear you’re taking tomorrow off! 😀
I am excited to do NOTHING Hannah 🙂
Hope your do-nothing day has gotten off to a slow start! :-p
I keep hearing good things about Little Princes, and it sounds like my kind of book…someday. Sigh. Why do there have to be so many books???
I hear you Jill…. so many books… ad they keep publishing more….
😛
Unplugged is a good thing…Sundays are usually my day for that, although I start off the day creating a Salon Salon post and then visiting lots of blogs. But that’s kind of unplugged.
Then I’ll go read the Sunday paper, sip a Mimosa, and start reading. Later I might visit with my daughter, who works as a bartender three days a week.
I’ll bet you’re thinking…hmm, Mimosa, then the bar…LOL
You should definitely unplug more. And Little Princes sounds like a great book.
Here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST
I would like to unplug more Laurel… but so much going on…. 😀
I LOVED the book Little Princes!
I am right there with you Helen! 😀
That is just the kind of book I love! I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow!
Me too Kathy, it is really touching me!
Good for you for planning a day off! I liked Little Princes too, and was especially pleased that it was a book filled with hope and not overwhelming despair like some stories about child trafficking. I loved that he was honest about his motives in the beginning – so funny!
I loved that part too Alyce, I often wonder if the first time I went to Honduras was more for the excitement of the adventure or the kids… now it totally the kids, but that first trip… I know it was a bit for the adventure.
This book was fantastic..he really spoke to me!! Hope your Monday is uneventful in a good way 😀
Thanks Staci – I hope to finish the book tonight 🙂
I definitely want to read this book 🙂
Yes Rebecca – you would love this one! 😀
Saying that this is a book that gives hope for humanity is a good way to describe it. I quite enjoyed this book.
I am loving it Esme – it is one of those I can not wait to review!
Since I read about two books a month, one a week is a success! 🙂 I do listen to 2-3 audiobooks to increase my total though.
I have Little Bee and Little Princes on my iPod. Glad to hear you are enjoying Little Princes since I will be listening soon.
Enjoy Monday!
I bet it makes for an awesome audio Mari! 😀
