Q: Have you ever wished that there were official government bookish holidays, and that, by law, employers HAD to give their workers a paid day off? If so, what kind of bookish holiday would you like to have?
A: Um... it sounds like a GREAT idea, which I have not once ever in 40+ years pondered. Don't think it would ever be plausible, 'cause I cannot even think of why we need a bookish holiday or for what?! So the government and employers give us a paid day to read. Sounds ridiculous actually. I like reading but this question is too much for me. Sorry, not sorry.

I like the sound of this one.
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteGreat opening and p. 56.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun read and series!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love books/reading but the idea of a bookish holiday is ludicrous. Plus, I'm too contrary to read when I'm expected to which I assume I would be on a bookish holiday. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteI love that book opener! "It'd be so easy to kill you while you sleep." lol
That is quite an opening! I haven't read this author before, but I know the name. This sounds like a fun read. I hope you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like the idea of devoting a day to reading, I am not sure a national holiday is necessary either. If it was, that'd mean no school and the chances of my reading all day would go out the window. Haha.
Have a great weekend.
Ah--this sounds like a fun series!
ReplyDeleteThere being a "bookish holiday" does sound a bit silly.
ReplyDeleteBloody Mary looks like a good read.
