Kicking off Summer

We just had the Victoria Day Weekend in Canada, or as we call it in my neck of the woods, the May Two-Four weekend. It’s a statutory Federal holiday and the unofficial kickoff to the summer season. The holiday has been observed in Canada since at least 1845, originally falling on Victoria's actual birthday (24 May 1819). Now it’s celebrated on the last Monday preceding May 25.

 

We call it the May Two-Four weekend to refer both to Queen Victoria’s birthday, but a two-four is also how we refer to a twenty-four pack of beer, always a popular drink on the holiday weekend.

 

So how do we celebrate:

 

1. A lot of folks go camping or to their cabins. I’ve seen snow on the holiday weekend, and I also went swimming one year. Yeah, the weather is unpredictable around here.

 

2. Drinking. A lot of people will kick back and enjoy a few cold alcoholic beverages.

 

3. Grilling. Steaks or burgers or hotdogs…something, but food is essential.

 

4. Campfire. It’s always a nice weekend to have a campfire on the beach. I haven’t done this in years but did a lot of it during my teenage years.

 

5. Relax. It is a holiday after all, a three-day weekend to relax with family and friends, maybe curl up and read a good book.

 

 

And if you’re looking for something to read, why not check out TAMING THE WHITE WOLF, the first book in the Lone Wolf Legacy series.

 

 

Taming the White Wolf

Lone Wolf Legacy, Book 1

 

Destined to be alone…only to discover he’s not—in this intensely sexy new Lone Wolf Legacy series from New York Times bestselling author N.J. Walters

 

There’s only supposed to be one lone wolf. When other shifters see me coming, see my white fur and pale eyes, they know things are about to get real. Because my job—my fate—is to take out the wolves who go rogue.

 

Only now something has changed.

 

For the first time ever, there are three of us: one white, one gray, one black. And if that’s not ominous enough, my senses have pulled me to New York City…for a human.

 

There’s something almost supernatural about the connection between me and Zoe Galvani. It’s not just the crackle of heat, the blood pounding through my veins—or even that her eyes are the strange, pale hue of my own.

 

It’s that she makes my wolf come alive. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Almost like magic.

 

Which is when I learn that someone’s out to hunt me. That I’m their prey.

 

…and Zoe is the bait.

I never heard of this holiday, N.J. Sounds a lot like our Memorial Day, which is next Monday.

Hope you had fun during yours. :)

It's a huge weekend here in Canada. I stayed home, but it was a fun weekend. Hope you enjoy Memorial Day weekend.

I have read every book in this series so far. I highly recommend reading them from the beginning if you have not read them yet. You will not be disappointed!
