Look what my library called me about yesterday!! I am so excited and torn at the same time. I’m still reading The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell, which is EXCELLENT by the way. My reading time is very finite these days, which just boggles my mind. I assumed, wrongly, that the older my kids got the more reading time I would have.Â
It turns out that all of the intent listening I did from the time they could talk to me about My Little Pony, Batman, Barbie, and the Power Rangers, caused them to actually want to talk to me now about other, just as important to them, things. It is so, so worth it, but it does cut into my reading time.Â
Sleep or reading? Reading or sleep? Actually, my brain usually decides that sleep is more important, which I discover by being violently awakened by my current book crashing into my face. All of that to say, I can’t wait to dive into this book!
by Stella Otto
Still haven’t replaced this one yet.
I picked this book up to be my new purse book. My dream is to have multiple fruit trees, berry bushes, and a lovely garden every summer. I can dream, right?
I am always reading from my giant pile of magazines.Â
If you want to start your own magazine pile, all the ones below are on sale right now for $5.00! I love them, I’m sure you will too!
That’s all I’ve got for now. What have you been reading? I’m always looking for a new book!
