One thing I’ve been lacking in the writing area on my blog about is “readingâ€. I’ve been reading books like crazy even though I have all of these other things going on. I always find a way to read no matter what. It’s my escape, my stress relief, my enjoyment, my time out. I do not tend to watch a ton of TV through the week. I come home from work, grab dinner and usually spend at least an hour reading before bed. I also try to work my school schedule and assignments so that I can still have a life. I work ahead so I never feel guilty about my reading habit.
Lately I’ve read the following books….this would be over the last month.
I also read A father’s affair by Karel Van Loon that I checked out from the library. Every one of these books was in the “excellent†category…..save for maybe “When I’m not myselfâ€. That one was a bit choppy and that was irritating. The story didn’t have a good flow or ease. It was jumpy and not in a good way. Everything else gets my two thumbs up.Â
I loved White Oleander and want to read Dogs of Babel.
White Oleander was a REQUIRED reading for one of my upper division college courses. We had to aanalyze EVERYTHING but I really liked it. That HAD to be about 7 years ago? I’ve read about 22 books this summer which is UNHEARD of for me. I read while I’m on the treadmill or lounging at the pool. I guess I’ve done A LOT of that this summer. hehehehehe.
