What are you reading?

I finished reading my library book yesterday: I read it in one sitting and loved it.

I am now onto another library book!

I started reading a book on the Mayans. Everytime I go the ruins I always think of doing it. This time I am.

I'm done with Ivanhoe. Will keep the book so the teens can try it on their own. The antisemitism was too much, with the author not exactly endorsing it but including too much in my opinion - like he's using that to further his plot and give some characters certain lines that are funny to them but not to me. Blech. Also, a story with so many men running everything and the women having little choice in things doesn't make a great book, in my opinion. Points to Scott for his descriptions of landscape and fashion, though!

I'm almost done with another Jonathan Cahn book, The Mystery of the Shemitah. Very fascinating!

Reading with the teens: No Time Like the Past by Greg Cox, a Star Trek crossover novel with Voyager and the Original Series.

Not sure what's up for fiction I'll read on my own... Maybe Karen Kingsbury next, since there's a shelf full of those? Or I could dive into a re-read from a shelf of favourite books!

I went to my local library today and borrowed three books.

I am now reading a real-life story about a cyclist who cycled the world with five friends.

I shall give my review when I've finished reading it! Along with other details.

I read Valerie Comer's latest and it was sooo good! Disclaimer, though: if you just want romance and no spiritual journey, this one won't be for you. Meanwhile, I've been tired of regular romance and yearning for a tale with a great spiritual journey. So, the book was just right for me. LOL

Valerie Comer is a writer friend of Brynn Stewart, so now I'm trying Stewart's writing. So far the book I chose isn't as deep. Guess I should get to writing some deep stuff!

I am now reading "A Daughter's Journey" by Anna Jacobs.

I peeked in a couple of writing books I've been accumulating. Writing the Natural Way (a book from 1983) was so-so, and I flipped through the chapters looking for interesting tidbits about creativity, like little quotes and such.

Then I started Elizabeth George's Write Away. It's been interesting, not just the content but also where a previous owner of the book decided to underline. Sometimes seeing which sentences struck another person as important can be as fascinating as the content itself, ha ha.

On the way to my house (and expected within a couple of weeks) is a book by Rabbi David Levine called In That Day. I've been listening to this rabbi's teachings for at least a year now and hadn't heard him mention a book until last week! That should be an interesting read since I may just hear his voice in my head as I go along.

I read two magazines last night: "Woman & Home" and "Good Housekeeping". Both are May 2024 issues.

I've been reading magazines throughout my life: I love them and always have.

I am going to the library either tomorrow or Friday. I need to borrow more books.

Boooo!

I thought you were talking of Dirk Gently.

If you are a fan of The HItch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Then yes.

I am reading "Romancing The Soul" by Sarah Tranter.

It is really good so far.

I know just what you mean. There is a famous book, the title escapes me for just now, written in glaswegian [glasgow, scotland]

That is heavy going lol

Just remembered, it's called Trainspotting. A brilliant film, but a tricky read.
