Kathy, Thanks, I did!

Vasilly, Yes, it’s better to just relaxed, and I really did enjoy the weekend, even without a lot of reading!

I unplugged earlier this week. It felt good to not try and force myself to post anything. Instead I relaxed. I didn’t get any reading done but that’s ok. Have a great weekend.

Eva, well, I feel I've been neglecting the blog, but it feels nice to do other stuff. Lezlie, thanks! Kim, it should be a good weekend. Jordan, WOW, I'd agree, not a good selection for a young class to read, let along discuss! Steph, I've been blogging regularly for so long I have a hard time walking away! But I'm going to! Stefanie, I'm glad it was such a satisfying purchase -- I've obviously been tempted! Amanda, I haven't even begun to think of Christmas shopping! Thank goodness for online! Emily, I have been trying to stay away on weekends, but it always calls me! I'm looking forward to the no pressure weekend. And since so many others are away this weekend too, I won't be missing anything!!

I chuckled when I saw the Blogger Unplugged challenge, because I’ve been taking a day a week (Saturdays) away from the computer myself. It really helps with my sanity level. I hope you find the same is true for you, and enjoy your holiday!

Have fun on your mini-break. We’ve been vacationing-at-home this week and I’ve barely been in the house, do ing all my christmas shopping and NaNo socialing and stuff. I need to do Christmas decorations this weekend!

Enjoy your unplugged time! I’m glad I’ve tempted you with The Book. I first got a copy from the library but have since bought one for myself and returned the library book. It’s too fun not to keep around! Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I’m always intermittently “unplugging” myself from my blog (and even others, when I’m on vacation)! I really admire the people who are able to post daily, but I don’t think I have that in me, so I just post when I can and hope that it’s enough.

And I’m so excited to hear you might get to make it to New York! We just loved it, and I desperately want to go back. Also, by the time you re-plug into the internet we should have our recap post up, so that might give you a few ideas for your trip, should you make it to the Big Apple!

We had to read “Cry, the Beloved Country” in Grade 6 (Toronto, Canada school system). Too much for 12-year-olds.

Enjoy being unplugged You should take as long as you want to and not worry about it. I’m looking forward to some family time this weekend as well.

I got Baby Catcher from the library too — I love the cover, although the hardcover I got looks slightly different.

It sounds like you’re getting more comfortable with a reading/blogging balance. I STILL haven’t finished listening to Gaskell’s Ruth-I keep getting distracted by TV on DVD instead, lol. It’ll be done in time for me to do my Circuit post, but I’m glad I have several more weeks.

Yay for Baby Catcher! It’s so good!
