books in 2020
Another year, another long list! My goal was 120 for the year, and I got to 126 (plus three or four books that I re-read ….) I had thought that maybe with COVID, I’d have surpassed my 2019 count by leaps and bounds, but that’s not the case. I think work takes a lot of
kindle #3 (or is it #4?)
Back in 2008, we bought our first Kindle in preparation for a 20 day trip to Japan. I was unsure whether or not we’d use it after the trip. And, of course, we did. But generally only while traveling. Otherwise, it was still physical books for most else. Our homeschooling books we bought as both

Another year, another long list! My goal was 120 for the year, and I got to 122 (plus three or four books that I’ve almost finished and will count for 2020 …. Having “rediscovered” my Kindle in 2018 — a now 5 year old Kindle Fire, not our our fist one — and the CLAMS
rediscovering books.
Don’t get me wrong. Books have always been central to my life. After grad school, I could only read fluff. My head was filled, no room for anything else. While pregnant with Camille, I read everything I could get my hands on about childbirth and babies. Once Camille was born, my reading was all about

With all my hiking and little bit of traveling, I have not had many moments to read anything beyond my magazines. When we get back from spring break and the temperatures start to climb, I suspect I will have much more time for reading…. I vowed not to push through books I am not enjoying

This week, I finished Where by Kit Reed. What a bizarre book. I don’t even know if I liked it or not. I added Afoot & Afield Atlanta: A Comprehensive Hiking Guide by Marcus Woolf to my list. I probably won’t “read” it, but just see how he information compares to my other Atlanta hiking

I had forgotten to add the book the girls got me for my birthday to my pile, but I’m now halfway through it! This week while in Memphis, I finished a popular title Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. A great book. Again, reminds me to live my life. And not assume anything about other

Yet again, no new books this week still dealing with a large pile from three weeks ago. When will I get the chance to read again? I’ve been putting on lots and lots of miles in the car this week, looking at colleges. Not much time for reading. We did listed to a few podcasts,

No new books this week but my pile from last week is still quite large. I did manage to finish TWO books, thankfully. The Heart Goes Last: A Novel by Margaret Atwood was interesting. I never quite bought into the premise, but I enjoyed it all the same. I was sick in bed with a

Uh-oh! No books came in for me at the library this week, but my holds list is now up to eight. I bet they’ll all come in at the same time. How will I read them all?? This week I finished The Diamond Caper by Peter Mayle . I love his nonfiction — he was

This week I finished The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden: A Novel by Jonas Jonasson. I don’t know how; I felt like all I did last week was run around at full speed…. I thoroughly enjoyed it (the book, not the week). I’ve also been continuing to read the Outlander series on my

Last month I finished Who Do You Love: A Novel by Jennifer Winer. A nice light read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’ve also been reading the Outlander series on my phone whenever I don’t feel like turning on a light or dealing with a physical book. I’ve been indulging for months and fear I’m coming
