Booking Through Thursday – Break?

Do you take breaks while reading a book? Or read it straight through? (And, by breaks, I don’t mean sleeping, eating and going to work; I mean putting it aside for a time while you read something else.)

Not once in my four decades of reading, not even during my college lit/Russian lit years. Usually I cannot put a book down. I do not think I have the skill required to juggle more than one plot line, I have neither tried to nor do I plan to give it a go. I like to complete a book, digest it, and review the book before moving on to the next novel waiting to be read.

Anyone can play along each Thursday with Booking Through Thursday.

Booking Through Thursday – Olympic Reading

You may have noticed–the Winter Olympics are going on. Is that affecting your reading time? Have you read any Olympics-themed books? What do you think about the Olympics in general? Here’s your chance to discuss!

I have noticed the Olympics are on telly and no, it has not affected my reading. A series of personal issues have affected my reading far more as of late and I am trying to play catch-up. I have not in recent memory read any Olympic themed books. I do so enjoy some aspects of the winter Olympics and others I can do without, as with most things in life.

Anyone can play along each Thursday with Booking Through Thursday.

What Are You Reading on Mondays? 25 January


I adore this meme, which was created by J. Kaye at J. Kaye’s Book Blog . It is the perfect way for me to begin the week by helping me to focus on what needs to be read and to see what I have or have not accomplished the previous week. I also enjoy discovering new books by visiting other participants blogs.

This past week deviated from my original plans, which worked out fine, even if my anal-retentive nature rebelled a wee bit.

I Read:

This Week I am hoping to read:

  • Gringa In A Strange Land by Linda Dahl
  • The Choice by Suzanne Woods Fisher
  • Lone Star Legend by Gwendolyn Zepeda
  • A Highlander’s Destiny by Melissa Mayhue
  • A Black Tie Affair by Sherill Bodine
  • Mass Casualties by Michael Anthony
  • Lessons In French by Laura Kinsale

Visit next Monday to see if I managed to accomplish my reading goals.

Aloha Friday-Happy New Year!


Seeing how it is Friday, today’s question is going to require as little brain power as possible.

The question for today: How did you celebrate New Year’s Eve?

I spent New Year’s Eve with my wonderful husband and fabulous sons and as a family we read the New Year in.
