Hello Everyone!
I thought I'd just pop in and let you know how I did with my Fall Reading List this time. I finished nearly every book I planned with the exception of The Hawthorne Legacy. I also read or listened to some extra books. The final results follow.
I enjoy many Autumn activities, but one of my favorite is reading. Can't find time to read? You should try what I call "snatch reading". Five minutes here, five minutes there. It works well, especially if you're only reading one book and use a post it note to keep track of what paragraph you're reading. Once upon a time, it was the only reading I did. I have to admit, I cannot limit myself to one at a time. I love to have at least one audio book in my Scribd app, a book on my Kindle, and real paper books going as well. Taking a book along everywhere gives you the chance to snatch a free moment to read a bit. Beats scrolling!
Here's my Fall List:
Books I am Reading
The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes ~ I ordered this through interlibrary loan, but I was unable to read it quickly enough. I had to return it. I'll add it back to my request list so that I can finish it this winter.
These are the additional books that I am reading or listening to as of Thanksgiving night.
- I'll Start Again Monday
- Sherlock: The Essential Arthur Conan Doyle
- Little House in the Big Woods

I listened to several other books, too,
Fall weather is great for a little porch reading with a nice cup of something hot.
Happy reading friends!

I've been "reading", (listening), to books from the library. I'm on the last book of a mystery series that I listened to on the plane to and from London and the entire time I was in bed sick while there. I enjoy listening because then I can knit or crochet at the same time.

Betsy, it sounds like we're kindred spirits. ~smile~
DeleteI'm so sorry you were sick in London. That is rotten.
I am an avid reader. I always have a book in my purse, a pile by my chair in the livingroom and a pile on the table beside my bed. My husband says it's an addiction he can live with especially since he gets me gift certificates for book stores for my birthday, mother's day and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen,
DeleteOh wow! What a wonderful husband you have. He knows you and what you'd like best. Love it!
Be blessed!

I was just thinking about reading more books this fall and winter. I love getting lost in the pages of the book I am reading. Thank you for sharing your list with us.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I hope you do lose yourself in some pages this fall. ~smile~
