Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
I prefer my kindle, just because I read so many books a month that the unlimited on amazon makes it more economical for me. A series I got sucked into is The Girl Who Dared to Think. It's a fast moving series and the author doesn't make us relive the last book in the first chapter, they just start right up where the last left off. It's a rare treat for me when that happens, especially when you are binge reading a series.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a paperback kind of girl. This was reinforced when I dropped my tablet in the bathtub once while reading. I was lucky rice dried it out and it survived, but I don't want to take another chance. I'm not a fast reader and I have a stack of books waiting for me at all times. They are usually hand-me-downs from my mother or purchases from charity book sales.
ReplyDeleteI like a wide variety of books. I just finished the historical fiction "New York" by Edward Rutherford and have just picked up the light fiction of "A Wedding in December" by Anita Shreve (author of the Pilot's Wife, which I also read and enjoyed). And I'm probably the last person on Earth who hasn't read it, but next up is "The Girl on the Train"
We are now pretty much all audio. Books, podcasts. Car, walking, around house. We have huge library at Audible and really use it.
ReplyDeleteI have a Kindle but I prefer a book! I just finished a book I absolutely loved called Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a paperback book kind of gal. I have started reading books on my Kindle from three favorite authors of mine whose series I zip through quickly (Laura Kaye, Kaylea Cross, and Pamela Clare). Two older books that I really like are both from Jan Silvious...Please Don't Say You Need Me and Foolproofing Your Life (probably one of the best books I've ever read).
ReplyDeleteMy main interests are military romance and old west romances, both of which I learn so much about a different way of life. Linda Lael Miller is phenomenal for writing books from back in the old west...and she's funny too, which is a must for me.
