Getting ready for vacation.....

The hardest thing about getting ready to go on vacation is...which books do I take? and....how many?

I'll be gone for a week. I have a ton of books I need to get through, but most are hardback! I don't want to have to take hardbacks with me. So now I have to figure out which books to bring that aren't heavy and I can hide in my suitcase. Oh yes, I said hide. See, hubby and I usually try to get away with only taking one suite case if the trip is going to be a week or shorter. I usually walk into the bedroom with an armful of books to pack and he gives me a dirty look. I'm not allowed to bring all those books because there isn't any room! So I usually put a few aside, and "hide" the rest in the suitcase. haha!

I plan to go through my challenge lists and try to find a lot of those books (since most books are still in boxes from moving). If they are mass market paperback, they will probably make it into the bag. Hardbacks won't make it. Trade paperbacks are a possibility, just depends on how thick they are. I also like to try and take books that were given to me and might not be in the best of condition, and I never take books that are signed.

So..stay tuned...I'll post the list I plan to take soon.
