Yesterday, we had what those of us on Twitter have termed the Snowpocalypse – in the DC area, anywhere from 15” – 25” of snow fell.  We got about 18” here in Arlington.  Having lived in Chicago for four years, I absolutely loved snow and was thrilled with the storm, especially since I had planned to do nothing this weekend anyways!  I read and watched the snow, and hubby and I celebrated an early Christmas because we’ll be in Tampa visiting my family for the actual day.

I’m leaving for Tampa Thursday night and will be there for a week, until New Year’s Eve.  I have reviews scheduled for the entire time I’ll be gone, but I’ll probably be pretty MIA in terms of responding to email and Twitter.  I’m looking forward to hanging out with my family!

Memories of the Future – Wil Wheaton


In the Shadow of Gotham – Stefanie Pintoff


O, Juliet – Robin Maxwell


The Swan Thieves – Elizabeth Kostova

I hope you have a great time with your family over Christmas! I enjoy snow when I don't have to shovel it. =)

All we got was rain, but Vance used the snow as an excuse to stay put in Virginia. Merry Christmas - enjoy the time with your family.

We got a cold spell down here in Florida...low 40's last night! Woo hoo! As you head south for the holidays, we will be going north to Indiana. I can't believe all that snow you have received! Stay warm until you reach Tampa!

You're so lucky that you get to enjoy the snow for awhile and then get to head where it warmer. I hope you enjoy the time that you spent with your family.

I have The Palace of the Strange Girls but have not read it yet, so I am looking forward to your review.

*grin* My sister and I were calling the storm we had here in Iowa a couple of weeks ago the Snowpocalypse - we got about 18" too, and apparently are in for more this week. Glad you got to stay inside and read!

Hey, if your copy of O, Juliet needs a new home, I'd be more than happy to oblige! ;)

I'm interested to hear what you thought about "The Swan Thieves." I really liked it, but I suspect not everyone will, especially those who read "The Historian."

I need to pull out my copy of "O, Juliet!"
