Since retiring I've grown to love books and reading. I've never learned to read more than one at a time, though! I like the dark setting in this photo!
@thewatersphotos Thanks Gary. I was expecting to read more when I retired, but needlework, photography and the groups I joined have intruded on my time somewhat. Decided to lay down the needles more often and enjoy some more books. @grammyn I write down all the books I've read. Several of these I got today at book club. We gave each other books for Christmas. I think I've read two of these books, and reading 2 books ( @thewatersphotos ) I started one, then got the book for book club next month and started it so I'd make sure I finished it. Not sure about one of the books. This person doesn't necessarily have my taste in books. @corinnec Thank you Corinne. I do enjoy reading, but haven't done much in recent years. I hope to rectify that.
i have "the paris library' in my kindle which is the next one i will be reading when i finish the current one "rampage". so many books to read, not much time.
@Dawn Thank you Dawn. @summerfield I'm really enjoying "The Paris Library". It's what I did last evening when I went to bed and a lot of today. Hard to put it down. @jamibann Thanks Issi. I'll check that one out. @30pics4jackiesdiamond Jackie, do. I think it's an interesting read so far (about 100 pages in). It's hard to read two books at a time unless the plots are very different. @onewing When I moved into this house about 5-1/2 years ago I shed most of the books I had. I had planned to use the library and Kindle and then the library app called Libby. Unfortunately people keep passing me books and I have no good bookshelves to store them. So now I have them piled in different places in the house. @wakelys Thanks Sue. I got the Brenda Novak novel yesterday in our gift exchange at book club and found out today it's on the list for 2024. @pusspup It was busy but good. @craftymeg Thanks Meg. Except for "The Paris Libray" all are loaners from friends. @haskar Thank you Hannah. It happens. I tried to pare down, but I think books might have a little "rabbit" in them. @bkbinthecity You're so right Brian.
Love the rhyme! Yes...I have so many books! Some I love and read, lots to still read. I used to sit outside in the summer and read in the warmth of the sun. I read 26 books that summer...
@gardenfolk I had big plans for reading after retirement. Seems I have so many other things that get in the way. I have to make time for books. Thank you.
