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!
Thank you so much for recommending the series, Mary. :-)
