I've written this post to replace my earlier winter and spring list. I had to remove some books, because I found they were not the kind of thing I want to read. I've also added some books.

I've been reading and hearing for some that winter still has a hold in parts of the United States. It's really fighting to keep a hold on Southern Missouri. We had to cover our Hostas, Marigolds, lettuce and spinach last night. It got down into the twenties. I'm trusting that spring will win. We'll be down in the low thirties again tonight. I'm trusting that spring will win, but in the meantime....

It's the ideal time to open a nonfiction book and learn a new skill, a bit of history, or how something is done. It's also an excellent time to slow down a bit while the world goes whirling by and slip into the land of make believe for a little bit. I have to admit that's my favorite kind of reading.

You can read in the car (but not if you're driving—unless it's an audiobook), read while waiting for appointments, read while waiting for your kids to get out of lessons, read on your lunch break, read while relaxing in a comfy chair; or, if your hands are busy like mine often are, you can listen to audio books. I listen to at least two or three audio books on Everand each month. I've also found free books on YouTube and the Libby app. Interlibrary loan is my friend, too!
My point is, if you really want to read, you can make time even if it's only a few minutes. Snatch those moments for you!

Here are some books that I plan to read:
Writing the Cozy Mystery

English Standard Version Bible Update 4/3: I'm in First Samuel. Update 5/12: I'm in Second Samuel. |

What Happened at the Cross by Billy Graham *This one was excellent. I highly recommend it. |
P.S As you may know, I really enjoy using Everand. You get ebooks and audio books plus other reading materials, sheet music, and other things for just one low price of $11.99 a month. You don't have to pay per book. It's all included in the one price. It's the best money I've spent this year!
I'm reading a book that my Mom passed on to me. Like you some books are not books I enjoy reading, and romance books are not my favorite. I'm going to push thru it, but reading a non-fiction book sounds fun too. I have a lot of books on grammar, writing, and anything to do with writing. I get some pages read, while in the kitchen, waiting on the oven, or bacon cooking or anything that takes a bit of time. We woke up to a frost this morning, but the sun is shining.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me I need to post my spring reading list. Enjoy your books. I didn't know Scribd had been rebranded. Its a great resource for reading materials.
ReplyDeleteOh and I signed up for a free trial. Mine was only 30 day free trial which I'm guessing since I'm a former customer I only got 30 days. Anywsy, I'm looking forward to binge reading. Your books look interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, just stopping by :) I understand what you mean about needing to enter a make believe land for a while and books are so great for that. I'm very caught up with the current woes in the world and going into my garden helps me feel close to God again and feel close to Him. I have a lovely picture in my mind of you sitting knitting with your cat close by and your laughing while enjoying listening to your story. It's a joy to visit here. ~ Linda x p.s. I've sadly neglected my blog for nearly a year - yikes.
