I got back home from New Orleans last night.  Have you ever needed to recover from a vacation?

That’s how I feel right now, and that’s why there was no Monday’s Minutes post yesterday.  However, I didn’t want to leave you hanging until I get back into the swing of “normal” life again, so below is what you’ve got to look forward to throughout this month.

• #FitReaders Check-Ins will continue as usual starting today.
• The Joy Luck Club Read-Along – the first recap will be posted this Saturday, and the sign up is still open!
• Uprooted review – I finished Uprooted by Naomi Novik last week before I left for New Orleans.
• Thursday’s Things #9
• The Vampire tour of New Orleans – As I mentioned in my Packing for New Orleans post, the Boyfriend and I came up with our own tour of New Orleans based on Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.  While we didn’t get to see every place, we saw enough for me to write a whole post about it.
• My long weekend in the French Quarter – I’ll share the food we ate, the stuff we bought, and the non-vampire related places we visited or came across in our wanderings.  It may end up being a two-parter, and it will definitely contain tips that will save you a lot of stress and money.
• The Never-Ending Anne Rice Reading Challenge
• Tuesday’s Tunes, Wednesday’s Words, Friday’s Fairy Tales – I’ve got a ton of great ideas so I’ll get these features written and posted throughout the rest of the month.
• RIP X – Vampires, Ravens, and Chthulu, oh my!  I’ll be posting my RIP X related reviews.
• Harry Potter Discussion and Link Up – I’ll be posting the discussion post for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on the 30th.  You could be featured, so be sure to get your HP related posts linked up before then!
