Summer Reading at Harvest Lane Cottage 2019

This post contains affiliate links.


Even with all that I'm doing and want to do in my new home, I make time daily to read or listen to good books. There's nothing that can make work go quicker for me than listening to the Bible or a good book. I especially like to use the the text-to-speech feature on my Kindle Fire 7 Tabletor listen to some audio books on Scribd* while I work or knit.

Here's what's on my book pile, my Scribd app, and in my Kindle for summer reading:


The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington

I borrowed this from the library.
I found this fascinating.
Finished.


Agony of the Leaves

*I signed up for a free trial of Scribd in February. It's a service where you can read or listen to books for just $8.99 a month with no limit.  

I kept the plan, because we really use it and like it a lot. My daughter and I are using it for school and for pleasure. We especially like the extensive list of audio books. Take a look. If you sign up from this link, you can get a two free months trial, and I'll get one month free, too.

    1. ​We're going to watch it at book club after we discuss it at the end of this month. It should be good.

    1. Yes I did. I think it's great that we both get an extra month. They usually just give one free month. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I use it every day. I actually met my Goodreads yearly book goal of 36 books already. I had to reset it to 50. I like to read paper, Kindle, Scribd, and listen to Scribd. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
      Thanks again!

  4. Thank you so much for this post! I have been looking for a source to listen to books. Many seem to be very expensive (at least for me). $8.99 a month is great.

  6. Hey Laura. You are a busy lady. I used to love listening to audio books (cassette tapes) driving to work and back. Things have changed so much (technology) I would not know how to listen to one now. I have an older TV set that plays DVDs in my sewing room, a wall phone, and an old flip phone. :( Pretty backwards, I would say. I need to check into all this.
