Good morning! Poo weather here the last couple of days which makes me a little disgruntled. Not like I have had a lot of extra time this week with a Wine and Words meeting, a City Board meeting, and Monday’s second dose of The Fault In Our Stars (glutton for punishment I am….) but… I want to mow the lawn before I leave for the cabin probably early in the am now because I will not be ready to go tonight unless I stress myself out – and I am going to try to not stress myself out.
About the reading…
Right? I am sad to admit that I am reading the SAME BOOK that I was reading on the plane on my way back from New York a month ago.
It’s true. It is that time of year of gardening, lawn care, house cleaning, being outside, walking, running, biking, cabin, projects, grilling…
However – this weekend with a couple days at the cabin that is about to change 🙂 I will of course be finishing up on The Three by Sarah Lotz (yes yes yes I have been reading a book about three plane crashes while I myself was on a plane). It is good, the formatting is interesting…. and hopefully next week I will be telling you more about it 🙂
Then… I will be looking at Little Mercies by Heather Gunderkauf (LOVE her books!) and The Young World by Chris Weitz. Yes – BOOKS. Glorious BOOKS.
Of course, as you know, its not that I have not been talking books. I have been doing a LOT of audio, a lot of REALLY GOOD audio. We still have a few days of audio month left….

Book Journey 
I have not tried audio books yet, but my daughter Kristin of Kritters Ramblings and I have introduced my other daughter Jennifer of The Underestimated Mom to your website. She has a five year old and another one on the way – audio books really work for her.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Little Mercies. I thought it was a breath taking, awesome book. You will not be disappointed!!
Oh that is cool! Audio can work in different ways for people but I have really found it to be a supplement to my reading and I enjoy it so much.
Sometimes if it weren’t for audio, I wouldn’t be reading at all. Know what I mean?
Candace, you know I know EXACTLY what you mean 😀
I love audiobooks – although I pretty much only listen in the car
Right now listening to Mary Roach’s Stiff – all about life after death – cadavers etc – kinda weird/quirky non-fiction, next up is Tess Gerritson’s most recent Rizzoli and Isles book (last to die)
I am getting excited deciding what I will be listening to on my road trip this weekend!
I haven’t been able to read this week because of other time commitments and it’s killing me!
I know Jill – I can not believe I have not finished on book since a month ago!
Sheila, you do SO much reading (and audio is “reading” too 🙂 ), you shouldn’t feel bad when real life interferes. That’s ALL my life seems to do! lol Enjoy the process 🙂 AND the cabin!
Thanks 🙂 I don’t feel bad other than the fact that I can not believe I am still reading the same book I was a month ago. 😯 lol
LOL, Sheila! That’s my NORM! That’s why I get so frustrated with my TBRs ’cause there’s so much to read and so little time! It’s why I’m so amazed at how much you and so many others read!
I will finish that book tonight! 😀
I am not reading much in the way of print books, ’cause I’d rather hold my new grandson! Like Candace, if it wasn’t for audio… I am listening to The Directive by Matthew Quirk, Vanished by Joseph Finder and finishing up Three Weeks With Lady X by Eloisa James.
Nice! I have some great audio going as well 😀
I am about halfway through with The Three. I like it enough to say it’s a complete distraction from The Goldfinch which is what I am supposed to be reading for book club. Just finished We Are Called to Rise on audio. It was very powerful. Twice, came near crying.
OOh thanks for the audio tip! I will finish The Three tonight. I keep picking bad times to read it like while hubby is watching tv (inevitably I get sucked into the show) or when I am super tired.
Not sure I’d be reading about plane crashes while flying. I keep adding to my audio list. It’s rather exciting.
I dont know why I was… and the crashes were right away so ya know… that was done… 😉
