Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all

 Among other things, 

Partially because it usually seems to be less stressful to me than Christmas, Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday of the year. I love the way the holiday combines family, good food, and football all in one fun day. It's a time when I get to see some people I don't see often enough during the year, a day of telling stories from the past while remembering family members no longer with us, and a day to celebrate the large, combined family of friends and relatives we still have around us. 

And then, way at the end of the day, there's just nothing better than sitting down with one more "small" piece of pie and a really good book. 

I hope you all having a wonderful day, too. Remember to make the most of it...

Love, Hope, Peace, and Books from Book Chase

 Merry Christmas to all. I hope you are all having and enjoying a wonderful day with friends and family. 

Plans here changed on Wednesday when we learned that two family members had been exposed to Covid, so for the second year in a row we are celebrating a quiet Christmas, just the two of us. It's disappointing, but we did have a good run of family gatherings during the rest of the year, so 2021 could have been a whole lot worse - and it was much better than 2020. I'm betting/hoping that we finally turn the corner next year.

Happy Reading, friends!

Happy Bookish Mother's Day to All

 Happy Mother's Day, everyone.  Enjoy the day! Here's hoping you add a few books to your "emotional support pile" today. (I think I'm going to start using "ESP stack" in place of "TBR stack" from now on).

A Shakespeare Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration

 If only Shakespeare had been in America for at least one Thanksgiving celebration, it may have gone something like this:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

Santa May Be a Little Distracted - But Watch the Sky, He's Coming Soon

I'm hoping that Santa can tear himself away from his reading long enough to complete his rounds tonight. Looks like the guy is a real book nerd...three books going at once and a TBR stack close at hand.

Hey, maybe we should leave a book out for Santa instead of cookies and milk. 

Happy Thanksgiving from Book Chase

(I think these are supposed to be chickens, but I'm pretending they are turkeys.)

From all of us here at Book Chase (that would be me): 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope you had a better day than those guys up above.

And these:

For those outside the U.S., just know that we all ate and drank way too much today and will probably be sleeping later than usual  tomorrow morning. 

See you when we wake up. .

Memorial Day 2016

Enjoy the extended weekend with friends and family, but please do take a moment to consider the true meaning of Memorial Day.

(And if you see a soldier, marine, sailor, airman, etc. out there somewhere today or tomorrow, say hello and thank them for what they are doing for all of us.  They will appreciate it, and you will be happy that you did.)

Happy Easter from a Literate Bunny

Happy Easter, book-loving friends.  Here's hoping you all have a wonderful day with friends and family...and that you can sneak in a little reading time at the end of the day.  Enjoy.
