In-between sessions clearing out my square foot garden, I’ll enjoy my current re-read – # 30 in the “In Death” series by JD Robb (Nora Roberts). I love being able to do a little bit of ‘have-to’ or ‘should’ in my life, and then escape into Eve Dallas’ world for a time. I’m re-reading the whole series and then will give myself permission to enjoy the latest one in paperback, #48. :0)
I’m reading several books at once right now – my usual mix of
- studying a cookbook to find more delicious recipes by Suzanne Ryan, Simply Keto,
- reading a book called The Flying Nun, Oprah and Me: 40 Years Making $$ as a Freelance Writer by John Riddle
- The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, by Al Ries and Jack Trout, and
- Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance

At the moment I read a book written by a friend in here, also blogger, Erika Kind: I’m Free. This one isn’t new, but very interesting.
Last book was The Fifth Agreement by Ruiz & Ruiz.
I only read one book at a time.

It sounds like you think you might not be measuring up because you “only read one book at a time” I think I”M the weird one, Irene. I’m so glad that you enjoy reading. I can’t imagine living without books.

I love reading Linda, it is through the last years, that I haven’t been able to read as much, as I would like to.

Linda, I read about 3 – 4 books weekly. Right now I’m reading a book about how the Victorians got their values, but I read every kind of book you can imagine. I love reading about post-civil war society and anything Southern that isn’t about the South today. Every winter I pick a topic to investigate…..last year was Eugenics in Germany….how it became an important cultural idea……this led me to how much the Eugenics movement existed in America at that time. I do read novels, but not as much as non-fiction. I enjoy the work of Southern writers, but also like Louise Penny. Hillbilly Elegy was an interesting book…..I liked it and passed it on to a good number of my friends.

Your practice of ‘picking a topic’ sounds great. I think, though, that our practice of reading several books simultaneously might indicate a problem somewhere. :0)
