On Accidental Re-reads and Holidays

I sat down in an armchair around noon this afternoon and looked at the stack of books on the table next to me, all YA books that my dad had brought home to read for the YA Lit class he teaches. Among these books was An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. I picked it up and read the author's note in the back and the explanation of the mathematical formula. My cat hopped into my lap, curled up and went to sleep. I didn't want to dislodge him, so I read the first couple of pages of Katherines...and then I read the whole book.

I didn't mean to read the whole thing. But I did. (And I would like you to know that it was just as awesome the second time around. Definitely worth reading. I love it. Not going to do a full review, but it's definitely a five-stars book. Read it!) And you know what? It was nice. I have a massive pile of books that I want to read, but it was very pleasant to just sort of chill and read something that I picked up almost by accident. I haven't done that in a long time. It was incredibly relaxing. So I advise you today: read something just for fun! If you're a reviewer, read something not for review. Just read something for the sake of reading it!

Also, I want to talk about holidays. I realize not everyone celebrates Christmas, so for those of you who don't, I wish you a simply splendid holiday or non-holiday of your preference. To those of you who, like me, do celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas on Saturday.

I say all this now because I may or may not be posting much of anything between now and New Years. I'm on a break from school, finally have some time to relax and catch up on my reading and hang out with my family, plus we'll be traveling. So, I think it might be a good time to take a little bit of a blog-holiday as well. I'll still be posting a little bit, probably, because I'm not very good at staying away from the internet (>_>) but you probably won't see as much of me until January first.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and see you later! <3
