Happy 2014!

1a

Happy New Year! May 2014 be a great year for all of us, filled with lots of excellent reading.


I'm starting the year off with The Arabian Nights (and a cup of coffee, of course). Hop on over to Book Journey and see what other books are the first reads of 2014!

    Oooohhh! Great choice. That's a book I've not yet read. I think it's on my 1001 Children's Books list. Enjoy.

    Here's My First Book of the Year!

      Thanks Deb! My husband got me that beautiful edition and it's been looking at me from its home on the bookshelf!

    I love the illustration around the text! That's one of the classics I've never taken on. I hope you enjoy the stories and your coffee!

      I'm really excited to read them. One of my favorite books as a girl was a novel about Scheherazade and her sister (although I can't remember what it was called now!).

      I'm really looking forward to it! I know some of the tales, but I don't think I've ever read the whole book.

    Hope you are enjoying your book (and your coffee)! I'm a tea drinker myself and with this cold weather we're having, I've been drinking tea non-stop!

    Anyway, Happy New Year! And good luck with the upcoming snow storm!

      I tend to be a coffee drinker unless I am not feeling well and then I go between tea and coffee! There is nothing like a cup of tea with honey to make a sore throat feel better.

      Happy New Year! I hope you are staying warm in this crazy snow storm!

      Thank you Elizabeth. There is something wonderful about really losing yourself in a big book on a snowy day, isn't there?

    This looks like a great read to start 2014 with! I also see that you are reading Hild and I have my copy ready to go. I've been waiting to start it but am excited about reading that one too. :)

    Here is my first read for 2014:

    A hot drink is a must when delving in to a new book - tea is my preferred choice though. Enjoy your book Lindsey - it looks beautiful!
