Good afternoon everyone! Today finds me incredibly happy and excited.  Why?  Because my new laptop is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow!  I was completely resigned to waiting until February, which was the estimated ship date, so I was so excited to receive news on Thursday that it had shipped! I’m sure I’ll spend a good amount of this coming week getting everything installed and customized on the new computer, and I do have a lot of blogging catch-up work (emails, etc.) that I’m hoping to get to now that I’ll have a laptop again.

My reading week was good, but not great.  I’ve found it hard to get back into my reading groove since I returned from New Zealand.  I feel like there is just so much to do all the time, and any time I actually do settle down to read, a million things that I’m behind on pop into my head, so I end up doing those instead of relaxing!  I’m hoping that things calm down a little this week so I can get some reading in before Christmas.

This week, I announced the South Asian Challenge 2012, and I really hope you all will participate.  You can read any number of books for the challenge, even just one, so if it’s something you’re interested in, then please consider it!  I also discussed the challenges I am joining for 2012, and posted a Wordless Wednesday picture from my New Zealand trip.

Yay! So glad to hear that the new laptop will be arriving ahead of schedule! It's like an early Christmas for you! I am also really enticed by your challenge, and am considering joining. I don't think it would be too hard for me to complete, seeing as my interests match this challenge perfectly! Have a great week ahead!
