Nov
been one of those were I wonder where the time went! Crazy really! Last weekend
we had a great time on our trip to The Hague. The hotel was gorgeous, the room
was very luxurious, we had some great food and drinks, it was a lot of fun with
our friends and I had a fun time shopping. If you follow me on Instagram you
may also have seen my Hogwarts Express POP I got. I love it!! It was just a
great weekend, and it went by way to fast.
Monday and
Tuesday it was back to work for me. Traffic has been crazy lately and I’m
missing the warmer days when I was able to go to work with my scooter. I do seem
to go through my audiobooks pretty fast though, so that’s one positive point
about these traffic jams.
after work one of my colleagues went home with me for dinner and to watch our Wedding
Pictures. We had a really fun evening.
Thursday where my days off. I went to visit my mom, which was a lot of fun like
always, and on Thursday I did some blogging and listened to Christmas music. I just
love this time of year!! BTW.. Happy Thanksgiving to my American visitors. I
hope you had a great day.
Friday till next Wednesday I’m working again. But I can’t complain. My husband
and I almost have a week vacation. I can’t wait.
I did some work for Maureen’s Books Promotions. I have two Book Promo’s that
are open for Sign-Ups. One is for December 14th, and the other is
for a 10 daylong event in January. If you guys have a spot free I would love it
if you could sign up. (Just click the pic below for more info.)
I managed
to do some reading too this week. But not nearly as much as I wanted. I definitely
need my vacation to come soon, so I can have reading marathons.

It sounds like you've been busy having fun. I had a four day weekend and just stayed home doing some reading and watching some movies. Did manage to get some yard work in as it's been sunny and warm.
My Sunday Post
I sure had fun! It sounds like you had four great days. 😉 I can't wait for our vacation and to read and watch movies for hours.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Most weeks are like that for me 😀 they just sort of fly by. Glad you had a great time at The Hague 🙂 the Hogwarts Express is just plain adorable 😀
Ooh, your post about Instagram accounts should be interesting 🙂
It's crazy right? It just seems to go by way faster than it used too. Have a great week and happy reading!
Glad to hear you had such fun in The Hague – it sounds a fab trip. And what a lovely souvenir:). I know all about traffic – there are now TWO sets of roadworks with lights between me and one of my teaching jobs which eats into my time far too much. I hope your week is a good one, with plenty of good books, Maureen:) My Sunday Post – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2017/11/26/sunday-post-26th-november-2017/
Sorry to hear you have trouble with traffic too. It feels like such a waste of your time right?! Blegh..
Thanks. I hope to get some good reading done this week.
Have a great week and happy reading!
The Hogwarts Express funko is gorgeous! *.* I really want to get my hands on it, but shipping costs make it so expensive.
Happy readings & Wishes of a great week.

I totally get you. I didn't even know there was such a POP.. and when I saw it in the shop I just couldn't resist. They really should stop with those shipping costs. I hope you can find one too soon 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!
I love your train, didn't even know you get them! Now of course I want it! LOL Your weekend sounds lovely. I need a trip desperately. Don't work to hard!
I didn't know either until I saw him last week. I just couldn't resist!
I'll try not to work too hard. 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!

What a cute train!
I love Joy Fielding's books…thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog. Have a great week!
I can't wait to start the Joy Fielding book. I haven't read any books by her before.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Yay for vacation, and the Hague trip sounds like it was awesome. And Christmas music is so nice this time of year, I totally agree. In fact I have some playing right now lol.
She's Not There looks really good!
Christmas music is the best. It just makes me so happy. But my husband doesn't like it all that much. LOL!
Have a great week and happy reading!
I’m glad you had fun at The Hague. It sounds like an amazing trip. Have a great week!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks AJ. We definitely had lots of fun.
Have a great week and happy reading!
It must be awesome to be able to zip in and out of traffic on your scooter. I ride the train to work because I cannot deal with the congestion and there is really only one way to my job. =/ Glad you had an awesome trip and a few relaxing days off.
Being able to go on the scooter is definitely great. Unfortunately it's now just to cold and wet outside, but when the weather gets better I'll be back on there. 😀
Have a great week and happy reading!
OH I love the Hogwarts Express-how nice!! Have a great week!

I just googled the hotel. The Hauge looks so vintage! Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Don't worry about work, Christmas would be coming up soon 😀
Well.. I have to work on Christmas! 😉 LOL! Not worries. Everything always works out.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Sounds like a busy, but fun week! I hope you have a good vacation!
I love the Hogwarts Express POP!!! =)
It was definitely a fun week. Weeks like these keep you going. 😀
Have a great week and happy reading!
Your week sounds really good, Maureen! And I'm glad you had a fun weekend away with friends. That's something that always puts a smile on my face – good times and people we love are important.
I hope this week is a good one, too!
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Those are definitely important Lexxie. And it makes all those days of work worth while. 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!
Glad your trip was so great! It's so nice to feel luxurious every once in a blue moon. I'm so glad I decided to sign up for your upcoming tours! I've SO been on the fence about committing to anything lately with what all is on my plate and what little time I have. Like now, writing this at 4:07 AM when I should have been asleep hours ago because I have to get up in two hours and I am 99.99% my evaluation will be tomorrow. C'est la vie. I hope you don't work too hard before going on your vacation!
That's so good to hear Charlie. I hope you'll enjoy participating! 😉
Oh dear.. only two hours of sleep? Sigh.. I hope your doing okay today. Good luck with your evaluation!
Have a great week and happy reading!
