What I'm Reading This Week ~ November 6, 2023

 Hello dear ladies,

 Every time I write, I feel like it's been too long. I'm afraid I've been distracted lately. For instance:

• My husband hit a deer and totaled our car a little over a week ago. Still waiting to hear from insurance, so I'm still stranded at home. On a good note, I'm getting a little break from subbing!
• I went to a nearby city for emergency dental work for a broken tooth. 
• I went to a retreat with our fiber guild. OH, it was filled with temptation! There were so many ladies spinning and both ladies and a gentleman weaving. I knitted all weekend. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to try spinning and weaving. I just don't need another hobby... especially not an expensive one!

 Anyhow, here I am now to share my reading with you.

   I've been listening to John Adams by David McCullough for months. I finished last week. It was 30 hours long, but it was worth it. When the Bible said, "There's nothing new under the sun," it was true. The partisan politics that divide the United States and other countries as well, was alive and thriving in an ugly was shortly after our country was born, probably even before The Declaration of Independence was signed. 

 I also finished Stranded by McCourtney, The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst (an excellent book I want to read again), and To Helveltica and Back by Paige Shelton.

 Now, I'm sitting here with the fragrance of my pumpkin and salted caramel candle wafting around me and thinking of which books I'd like to focus on this week. I have a tendency to get many books going at once, but I want to try to be a little more focused for the next couple of months.

 I currently have a book checked out on inter-library loan, Book 2 of The Inheritance Games... A young adult series. I read the first book a few months ago. It was clean and intriguing, part mystery and part puzzle.

The Hawthorne Legacy 

by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

 The second book I want to focus on this week is my current Scribd audiobook, Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar Dillard and her husband Derick.

 Finally, I'm in Romans this week. I'll probably make it into 1 Corinthians, too. I am listening on Bible.com.

Well, that's it for this week. What are you reading and listening to?

Hope your week is filled with autumny sweet pleasures and plenty of prayer.

Laura

Blessed to be a Blessing
