Thanksgiving Reads

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Enjoy the day and the weekend!

I've decided to armchair travel for my Thanksgiving reading, in between enjoying turkey and other goodies.


Title: River of Smoke by Amitav Ghosh, on a ship on the Bay of Bengal heading to Canton, China. Historical novel, 19 discs audio.


Title: Song of the Silk Road by Mingmei Yip, heading along the Silk Road in China. Contemporary novel, paperback.


Title: Skeleton Letters (A Scrapbooking Mystery) by Laura Childs, in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Which of the three trips would you take this holiday? And what will you be reading, if anything, over the busy Thanksgiving weekend?

  3. Happy Thanksgiving!

    As we don´t celebrate it, I haven´t thought about what to read - I have been very busy editing Christmas stories lately :)

    But I need someting that is NOT too cosy as my latest reads were a bit disappointing.

  5. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I managed to finish the new Grisham novel, but was hoping for a little more reading time.
