Did you know that this week was Slow Down Week? Well, I’m declaring this weekend Slow Down: Reading Ahead Weekend. I have a million things to do but we might have yucky weather again this weekend so I’m all for relaxing with a few good books.
Here’s my pile of books for the weekend.
Hope you all enjoy a good weekend and some good reads.

In my neck of the woods we are supposed to get more snow so I plan on stayning in and reading all weekend, especially since school has started again. 🙂
Have a great weekend…
Amanda
We’re due for more snow this weekend, too! It has finally sort of warmed up here (well, to like 30), so today wasn’t bad. Now it is going to turn colder again–ugh. I just started the Schulz book! I also plan on reading some Ruth Rendell and Anne Fadiman! Enjoy your pile of books!!
Looks like fun! I’m glad you that you like Miss Marple-which book did you read? If you haven’t read Thirteen Problems, I really enjoyed it (it’s a collection of short stories). Sleeping Murder is one of my favorite full-length Miss Marple mysteries!
I just love the title “The Secret Life of Crocodiles”. 🙂 Enjoy your reading weekend. I plan to do that too. It’s been a rough week at work and slowing down to read this weekend sounds like the perfect way to unwind.
I haven’t been here in a while, so pardon me if I sound stupid because this happened long ago . . . but, I love your new look! Oooh, and I always love ogling a pile of books. Looks like you’ve got some good ones. Enjoy your weekend! I’m having a “read-in”. It’s getting nicer outdoors, but the family is off to a swim meet so it’s just the girls (the cats, that is) and me. They may have to help me rake a bit, but otherwise they’ll do mostly foot-warming. 🙂
I know the title said The Street of Crocodiles. My brain is tired from work. LOL Sorry about that. I still love the title.
I really like Peter Robinson’s series – went on a spree last year with Robinson and enjoyed it thoroughly!
Amanda – Enjoy the snow but good plan on staying in and reading instead 🙂
Danielle – How are you liking the Schulz book? I’m finding it reads almost like a prose poem. Good but different.
Eva – I’ve only read one Miss Marple but do plan to read more. I think I have Sleeping Murders somewhere here 🙂
Literary Feline – I kind of like “secrets” 🙂 Hope you can relax this weekend!
Nancy – So good to see you here and thank you. I like the idea of a “read-in”.
Jenclair – Aren’t the Robinson’s books great? I do enjoy his series a lot. I already have several more waiting.
Hope you enjoy your slow down weekend. They are predicting bad weather here tonight as well. My hope is that it holds off long enough for me to get to see Pan’s Labyrinth and that it then unloads snow everywhere!!!
I’m ready to go curl up with my book. It’s warmed up a bit here (33 versus 8), but we’re due for 5-6 inches of snow later this evening. Since we’re going to friends’ for dinner, I don’t have to think about what to cook tonight. Instead, reading with a kitty curled up in my lap sounds divine. Enjoy your weekend!
What the heck? How did I get a emoticon in place of the number 8 in my previous comment? Computer gremlins hard at work, eh?
I’m reading the Schulz like a poem, too, Iliana. I’m enjoying it, but I’m afraid we’re going to have a hard time discussing it.
Good books for a weekend! And yay to Austen’s Emma! I’d love to hear what you think of that book, Iliana. My weekend (it’s Sunday late morning here) so has been good…finishined one book, on to another. I think I’m on a roll here. LOL! 🙂
Carl V. – I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Pan’s Labyrinth. I really want to see that one.
Les in NE – Hope you are enjoying your cold weather weekend. I think the emoticons are cold too and that’s why they are acting up 🙂
Susan – My thoughts exactly. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll come up with something.
Kisane – I am really enjoying Emma. The only problem is that I’ve been sidetracked from it and it’s taking me forever to finish it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I do like the idea of a slow down week. Can I extend it beyond this weekend? On the basis that I was too slow last week to get around to it? Hope you enjoy the reading – the pile looks wonderful!
Oh how I wish Slow Down Week was every week!!
We are supposedly having snow here in England, but it hasn’t materialised yet! You have a nice pile of books there – I can just picture you curled up in an armchair waorking your way through those!
What a great picture–I like the fuzzy background!
Had fun on Saturday (still thinking about that movie!). Hope you had time to slow down and read some books.
Litlove – I think we should extend it for the whole year don’t you? 🙂
Heather T. – My thoughts exactly!
Max – I’m trying but it has been a bit slow going with them. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Kate – Thank you!
Christine – Thanks again for my stuff Chica! I’m so glad we saw the movie. It was good wasn’t it.
