Clearly, the 2025 Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon is in full swing here at Reading Reality. So many holiday books, so little time, and so many mysteries! (I postponed a couple of reviews last week and this week because the books just were NOT in the spirit of things.) Also I had forgotten to check for this year’s Amazon Originals holiday collection. I discovered last year that they were PERFECT for the Readathon, and so far this year that’s been true as well.
Today in history is the anniversary of the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the “day that will live in infamy” according to FDR. Whether it does or does not, the date certainly got drummed into my head in school.
Not nearly so infamous – not yet anyway – are George and Tuna. This picture makes them look a bit like a two-headed “catopus”, even though George is trying to hide behind Tuna a bit. There’s certainly plenty of room for him to do so even though the boys are the same size. They’ve also done a particularly good job of composing the picture, as silver-gray Tuna is lying solidly on the blue rug while ginger George is posed against the color-matched stained floorboards.
Aren’t they handsome? And don’t they look all snuggly together?
