"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
Our schools closed for the summer from today onwards. It felt so good in the morning, waking up to find that I don't have to rush for work for the next 7 weeks. I plan to relax completely for the next two days, that means, I will not think about my work at all. Mind you, I do love teaching but I like vacations too.
My brother and his family are here for a short visit, from Bangalore. I have been having fun with them but they leave tomorrow morning.
As most of you know, I will be going back to reading and of course, reviewing. I have a lot of pending books to review. I ought to catch up with those in the next some days. I am in midst of many books but haven't been able to finish any of those.
There are so many others stuff I wish to do and I will be tackling those too although I have not planned how to go about those as yet.
What do you do in the summer vacations? Do you pursue a new hobby or continue with the old ones?

We don't get those kinds of summer vacations. I hope you enjoy yours!
I still have 23 days to go before vacation, but who's counting. I like to do something new in the summer, usually take a class. Most years I take an art class of some sort, try some new technique I've not done before.
But what I really love to do is to while away the time sitting in a good coffee shop with a good book.
Hope you thoroughly enjoy your holidays.
Happy Summer vacation!
I get to do camping with my family in June, and much more this summer.
I am normally busy with the kids in the holidays, but as they get older, I think more time will be freed up for reading.
I haven't gone anywhere for summer in eons. My traveling husband is gone every two weeks and I guess we just don't get around to planning vacations between his work jaunts. Enjoy your vacation!
I wish I had those long vacations...I would enjoy reading, gardening, hiking, photography, taking writing courses etc. But alas, I only get a couple weeks, and I'm spending on in NYC for BEA.
I hope you have a great vacation!
