Boston, Day One

We spent most of the first day of our trip driving to Boston. Once we arrived, we were hungry and found a nearby vegan restaurant, My Thai Vegan, in Chinatown. I recommend the chocolate cake, which was so delicious, I ate it before I could take a photo!

2011 Book Challenge

Lauren's post "TBR Challenge 2011" introduced me to the "to be read" challenge sponsored by the Book Addicts! group on Goodreads. (My book montage on the blog's sidebar comes from Goodreads.) For the challenge, members choose twelve books and two alternates to read during 2011. These must be books published before 2010, in other words, books that have been on the to-read list for quite some time. I decided to join, and I picked the following books:





Because they are mysteries, the books I'm choosing as alternates are:

• Dark Places: A Novel by Gillian Flynn
• The Secret Keeper by Paul Harris

Hopefully, I will be more successful reading in 2011 than I was in 2010 - I didn't even finish 25 books last year!

Kiwi's Blogger Follower Swap #3

I am participating in another blog swap facilitated by swap-bot and hosted by "kiwivandal." While I usually use swap-bot for postcard exchanges, sometimes I do blog swaps, too. It's fun to see new and different ideas! My partners' blogs are:

• Adventures with the Nowling Family
• The Aftercraft
• Deborah's Postcards (Addicted to Mail)
• HavFaith
• Yellow Hall Studio

For my partners who are here because of the swap, welcome - or feel free to visit my vintage postcard blog, The Postman Loves Me.

~Happy 2011!~
