Rather than try to clean the comforters, it's easier to shake the sheets out (outside) and then throw those in the wash. Same with our couch. It's covered with a sheet. I take it off when I'm expecting company. Otherwise, surprise visitors see how we really like. ;) The things we do for our beloved pets.<BR/><BR/>My shopping is about finished. I'll probably do a little baking in the next week or so. No Christmas tree or decorations this year. Just a few snowmen scattered about in the living room.<BR/><BR/>Have you read any of Russo's books? I love his writing. I get drawn into the world of his characters and come away feeling like I've made new friends.<BR/><BR/>Christina (Endnotes) - I've had my copy since last Christmas. It always feels a bit odd to own the hardcover (unread) when the paperback has been out for several months!<BR/><BR/>Kim - Glad you enjoyed the meme. It is fun AND easy! :) <BR/><BR/>Oh, Empire Falls is a wonderful book!! I tried to watch the movie and was bored to tears, but the book is an all-time favorite. Don't let the page-count scare you off. The pages really do fly in this one.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-14770026193915400442008-12-09T08:01:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:01:00.000-08:00Great post Les!

I did a couple of weeks ago--my book was A Christmas Carol by Dickens.<BR/>I have never read anything by Russo but have Empire Falls on my reading list for this year as part of the Pulitzer Challenge I am participating in. I have had that book for a while--but it is so long and daunting looking!<BR/><BR/>I am still working through my 600 page Dollmaker--because of that book's length my reading totals for December are going to be paltry! ;)<BR/>Have a great Tuesday...<BR/>*smiles*<BR/>kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-67049097450921868352008-12-08T09:51:00.000-08:002008-12-08T09:51:00.000-08:00Bridge of Sighs has been one of my books-in-waitin...Bridge of Sighs has been one of my books-in-waiting for a very long time.<BR/>Maybe, based on the comments here, I should move it closer to the top of the stack.Crissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392301155733172326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-19842654306815074652008-12-07T16:22:00.000-08:002008-12-07T16:22:00.000-08:00I bought The Bridge Of Sighs a few months ago, but...I bought The Bridge Of Sighs a few months ago, but like so many other books I've not opened it yet! I just may, once I get a chance to sit down. Decorate the tree. Make some Christmas cookies. Finish my shopping.

I still have one more to write up.<BR/><BR/>I've set Bridge of Sighs aside for my other current read. I'm loving it, so I'm sure I'll finish in another day or two and get back to Russo's book. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>Lorraine - Sorry to hear you deleted your book blog, but I'll still visit your others, don't worry! Thanks for the French lesson. :)<BR/><BR/>Katya - Oh, good!
