Are you going to be rushing around this Christmas? Last minute things to do, relatives and friends to visit (or visiting you!), and did the dog just drink the eggnog out of the punch bowl? Perhaps starting a new book is not a priority this weekend. This is when I like to read passages out of my most beloved books.
Rereading is a good thing. I find it very comforting to know the friends in my books will stay the same, saying the same words and enacting the same scenes for my entertainment and enjoyment. Books I often page through around this time of year include the classic tale of the March girls in Little Women by Louisa May Alcott; the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery, my favorite being the third book, Anne of the Island; David Sedaris' Holidays on Ice, which includes an hysterical story of his experience working as an elf at Macy's; Maeve Binchey's lovely Circle of Friends; and The Princess Bride by William Goldman, where the story of master swordsman Inigo Montoya gets me everytime.
What are your favorite books to reread? I'd be interested to know.
Have a Happy Holiday Everyone!!!
