Yesterday was a very special day when the family had a very spontaneous plan of going on a road trip. We packed up in one hour which included lunch, so anyone who knows me would know that would have taken at least 30 minutes. The rest of the time was packing. Now that we have reached the destination we realize we have got most thing and not got so many!
Yet, the books have not been forgotten, by anyone in the family and that makes me happy. 
The one on the top is a board game (The Crew), which all three of us enjoy playing. My son is reading "The Wishing Chair" by Enid Blyton. It is a joy to see him discover Blyton. Maybe I will read it as well. While I was an avid reader of Enid Blyton as a child, I must confess I have not read this one. I was more the Malory Towers and Famous Five girl. He is almost through with it and tell me it is really good. So he has also got "A Christmas Carol" by Dickens. This is an abridged version and the first Dickens he will be reading, so I am very excited how he likes it.
Between my husband and me, we picked two Agatha Christie books which were in our shelf and in our TBR list for some time - Crooked House and Death on the Nile. I don't want to talk in detail about Christie here because that cannot be done justice in one sentence or even a paragraph. Since we would be lazing in and by the pool for most of the time, we thought of bringing along some light reads. Last but not the least, there is one non-fiction book - Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson which is a book on business. It's not really something I read, but I am planning to go through a couple of non-fiction books this year. In our house we have a dedicated bookshelf for non-fiction (more on that later).
For now, let me hit the pool, armed with my sunscreen and Christie. Bye!
