This is a weekly PARTY hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books. It's a chance to discover new blogs and to garner new readers for your blog as well. Thanks for visiting!
"Let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!"
I'm Indian, and we have a HOST of holidays every year, depending on the flavor of your religion/credo. My family celebrates 'Ganesh Chaturthi' every year, honoring Ganesha, the fun-loving God of Wisdom, Luck and several other qualities. We have special food that we make on this day - rice cakes, sweet rice balls, sticky jaggery kadubus, coconut milk - it is Yum! Traditionally, Ganesha's idol is lowered into water at the end of the festival, but we choose to not pollute the water bodies. For us, it really is all about the food.
I am super thankful for a loving family, and for living in Bangalore, my favorite city!
With last week's Hop, I launched a new feature at e-Volving Books - featuring Bloggers with eReaders! I'll be posting a second interview later today too. Contact me if you would like to be featured - reading on a phone counts as e-reader! *wink*

Thanksgiving is my holiday. My oldest son's birthday is right at this time so it was understood that this would be my holiday to cook and have everyone over. We usually have the traditional Thanksgiving meal. I cook the dressing that my Mom taught me how to make. I love this time of year. I'm off from work almost the whole week. Love it!!

Hello! I am a new follower and a Kindle lover. I just love the convenience of having bunches of books near at hand when I travel. Looking down a few posts...I recently bought volumes 1 and 2 of the Sweep series and look forward to reading them soon. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a blog. I don't have an e-reader yet. I can't make up my mind. But Christmas is coming up so I may end up with one to try out.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about the Back to the Classics Challenge. I don't have a list of suggestions yet. I don't even have my books picked out yet, but on Sarah's link there is a link to the Pulitzer prize winners for a place to start.
Thanks for the visit Dee! I love hearing about other holiday traditions around the world!
