It is a good reading year. I vote reading at the library is always acceptable whether you work there or not. After all, you need to set the example. <br /><br />Hmmm... that stinks. I like to think I enjoy a very wide variety of genres and have pretty well rounded book tastes. I am reading Hemingway In Love right now which is a memoir. But I do very much enjoy my fantasy and sci-fi as far as wanting a true escapist experience. What better way than with the magic of fantasy? I am in a true love romance with those Kate Daniels books. So much guilty pleasure. <br /><br />The Buried Giant was interesting. Pretty deep if the symbolism is caught. I have a feeling that author has some highly intelligent literature out there. <br /><br />Looking forward to reading about your reads! <3TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-46251333250325992282017-06-18T19:02:27.557-04:002017-06-18T19:02:27.557-04:00I am riding the crest of a reading wave for sure. ...I am riding the crest of a reading wave for sure. I ebb and flow when it comes to books and sometimes I pick really huge tomes that take me months to finish so it looks like I didn't read much. I am eyeing a few bigger ones here soon once I blow through these Kate Daniels books. <br /><br />Having a favorite reading spot off limits sucks. I hope you can get your bookworm mojo back. Maybe a park or something?

I've started sneaking reading at work if we are ultra slow. It's a debatable gray area on whether or not this is allowed. But it's a library, so I've got that going for me, and I've been so slow on finishing reads.<br />Before reading this, I thought I was interested in every book you've posted so far, I didn't realize your preference for high fantasy, which I can't get into. Buried Giant sounds pretty intriguing though...<br />You've inspired. I'm gonna get my challenge updating act together, post haste!Jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849863681125100236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-50878586464368101252017-06-16T21:02:12.095-04:002017-06-16T21:02:12.095-04:00Holy crow, you've read a lot.

I just don't have that reading bug like I used to (hindered somewhat by the fact that one of my favourite reading spots, the balcony, is off limits because of ongoing construction.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-91113962324793690932017-06-15T18:12:27.863-04:002017-06-15T18:12:27.863-04:00Well, you HAVE been busy my dear.

But yes, you do need to carve out some time to read and relax. <br /><br />You can pop on a desktop computer or switch to desktop version and on the right hand side of the blog you will see "Follow by email" and you can subscribe there. It will then start sending you my posts via email and you can read that way. I sub to a lot of blogs. It is a nice way to keep up to date. <3 TheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-3228008141520384072017-06-15T18:10:04.648-04:002017-06-15T18:10:04.648-04:00Thanks!

Haha! I've never been this bad about not reading. It's my absolute favorite thing to do when I'm not doing the wax thing. Note to self: pick the book up and read.<br /><br />Btw, is there a way to subscribe to your blog? I barely know how to comment. I have to physically remember to come here and read.

Next I think I will read some lighter fiction.Amanda C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14977811037288255876noreply@blogger.com
