Things I Take on Vacation...

Tomorrow I'm heading off on a family vacation to the Carribbean!

Here's what I'm taking (other than clothes and bathing suits and things like that):

From top to bottom:

• My Kindle (which has Persuasion on it).
• Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett, just in case I finish Persuasion.
• My journal.
• Papers of speeches for a scholarship competition that I have to memorize. (I'm never completely free.)
• Notebooks and pens for writing stories.

I probably won't get to all of that, but I tend to take an excess of notebooks and books on trips. Hey - I never get bored!

Meanwhile, I have scheduled this blog to get a few updates while I'm away. Here's what you can look forward to in the coming week.

• Week 1 post of the The Bible Project! (Click here for a full description.)
• A post on Mr. Knightly from Emma.
• A throwback post on a book I read before I began blogging: War and Peace.

Wishing you all a Healthy and Happy New Year!

Post Script: Today is J. R. R. Tolkien's birthday! (January 3, 1892 - September 2, 1973)
Happy birthday to one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time!
