Did you read any books this summer? I like to read at night, when all the chores are done and everything is quiet.
I still enjoy magazines ALOT, but so many are closing the doors and ceasing publishing, many I've read for decades. I hate to see some of them go.
Now I have a stack of Fall Reads, which I've begun and finished one so far.
I hope you had a great week and are enjoying some nice mild Fall weather. I think Fall "officially " arrives in just days.
Thanks for the recommendatons, will check them out,
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite a list of books! I may have to look up some of those to see if they have them in our library! You are a prolific reader! Thanks for sharing them with us. I'm always looking for some new authors to follow. I hope you are having a good weekend!! (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteOut of all your selections, 'lilac girls' was the only one I've read. Right now I am into 'self-help' and health related books. Don't ask me why. I just go in phases!
ReplyDeletei am a wanna' be reader but i have memory issues and have trouble retaining what i have read...what i need to build on, from one page to the next. i forget names, who people are and i constantly have to check back about what i am reading. i love reading maga zines and very short inspirational stories!! you are a dedicated reader and your selections always come from the same genre!! the same with the movies you watch!!
ReplyDeleteand to answer your question on my blog: YES!!!! the kc chiefs are playing the new york giants sunday, new jersey's home team. they use to be called the new jersey giants, i can't remember why it was changed. anywho, the stadium is only an hour away and the hubs bought me tickets to the game for my birthday, we have great seats. i am rooting for the chiefs of course, and i don't know if i have ever been more excited. the game is at 8:20 pm sunday, so i don't know if i will be able to write about it monday, MAYBE...but if not, tuesday!!
DeleteYou are a true book lover!! I love to read but don't seem to have much time. It takes me awhile to read a book.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to read here and there. I used to read in bed before turning off the lights but it appears TV has taken the place of a book. I started a series by Nora Roberts, I love her. It's Chronicles of The One, its about a deadly virus, elves, fairies and what not...first was good, second, I am struggling with, but almost done. That will be a good thing since I think it was due back at the library yesterday. I was just reading on it trying to finish but now I have to jump over to a zoom call....later.
ReplyDeletethinking of you today...thanks for stopping by and stay safe!! safety to the chickens too!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE your rainbow of Book Covers!! All that intrigue and thirtyish young women with a bit of life lived and a curiosity for the past spurring their quests. Your era is a step up from the FPKeyes and Nora Lofts and Heyer other way-backs of my own first shelves---those slick-cover turquoise and deep claret paperbacks with a wild-waved cliff below a forbidding Manderley silhouette, and the ubiquitous "She came to the castle, little knowing that . . ." the bywords on the back.
ReplyDeleteMy shelves are mostly Christie now, and John D. M., with a hearty cavalcade of Clancy, Reacher, Burke, Austen, Harry P. and Two lifetimes of L'Amours, collated from my Dad's vast shelves, and coincidentally from Sweetpea's Great-Grandmother on the other side---four stuffed grocery sacks of the exact volumes brought to Chris by DDIL when GG passed away. A twin library collected down the years, so far apart. (And coming down to the common heir whose "books" are nebulous and bright and sometimes LOUD, hand-held and ethereal).
This bright October day has been perfumed with the unctuous scent of that crock-pot full of Spring beans 'n' taters---unmistakable aromas of a good Southern cook's kitchen---I just floated along on that remembered fragrance all the time I was reading. Alas, the early-morning quiche will have to do. This time. Happy October!!
