What to do?

I surprised myself by finishing 2 books on a work trip. Normally, I knit quite a bit but on both flights, I read for the entire flight.

I have a vacation coming up where I will be in the air a bit over 4 hours, with some layovers. When forced to choose between a 30 minute layover vs a 2 hour one, I'll choose the longer one. I hate rushing.

With all that, I know I need to choose books wisely for this trip. I'll have a fully charged iPod with my audiobooks and podcasts, along with knitting. But book-wise......

I'm 99% sure I'm taking Bonfire by Krysten Ritter. Definitely taking my Big Damn Classic War of the Worlds by HG Wells. War is on my Kindle so I'm taking that which means I'll have a wealth of books to choose from, provided the battery stays charged! Bonfire is a hardback. I need some paperback beach reads that won't cry if the ocean gets on them. I think this is the funnest part of planning a trip, besides choosing some knitting projects for the ocean view on the balcony.

I finished The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian on my work trip. I ALWAYS love his work but tend not to seek it out on my own. Why is that? I also grabbed Edge of Evil by JA Jance from my stacks before I left because I was worried I'd be left bookless. I nearly was. I finished The Sleepwalker on the flight home with 40 minutes left of the flight. Thank goodness I had another book.

Still listening to A Gentleman in Moscow and am about 6 hours in (17 hour book). Also finishing up Sing, Unburied,Sing by Jesmyn Ward. This is a tough read. It's good, very good, don't get me wrong. It's the subject matter that makes it a difficult read. I both want to hug and smack Leonie. I'll have this done before vacation.

I guess I need to get to the hard task of finding more vacation books. With over 1,100 books in my house, you wouldn't think that would be difficult.
