It’s Friday. It’s been a week of getting ready for the holidays. A week of reading. A week of watching holiday movies.

Deep South Magazine has some good articles this week posted on thei website. Good food, good cooking, books to give as gifts.

Remembering F. Scott Fitzgerald at West Egg Cafe- this has made my list of must stop places on my next trip to Atlanta. If literary trails and eateries make your heart happy- do check out Deep South Literary Trail App. Still looking for books to give to the bookwork in your life? Our Favorite Books for Giving has some excellent selections- including Hemingway’s Girl by Erika Robuck. Here’s my review of Hemingway’s Girl.

My  #fridayreads: The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe and A Good Hard Look by Ann Napolitano. What are you reading?

I read The Art Forger by BA Shapiro this past weekend. Fantastic. Review will be posted after the holidays. I also finished The History of Us by Leah Stewart– it’s good, emotional at times- some hard subjects are dealt with. However, I’m recommending it to book clubs- the theme, subplots, and overall tone of book will be excellent for discussion- I strongly believe that everyone will have an opinion on this book.

Preparing my list for Cruisin’ Thru the Cozies Reading Challenge- quite looking forward to that. List will be posted in 2013.

Traveling With T’s Favorite Books of 2012 will be posted ASAP (I know I’ve been saying it, but I really mean it!) Traveling With T’s Books to Look Forward to in 2013 will also be posted (NOTE: This list will only contain books that I’m aware of being published in 2013 & that I’m RIDICULOUSLY excited for- if there is a book that you think I should be aware of- please, please, please comment!)

I made my goal of reading 110 books in 2012 this week. No applause, please 😉

Enjoy the holidays and have a Happy New Year! And happy reading as always!
