I’m actually having a really nice 2011. In addition to the usual day-to-day working and keeping up with domestic life, I’ve been reading…a lot. I’m always happiest when I have a great story that carries me away. Thus, part of the reason for my exuberance.
Here are some books I’ve read and would recommend:
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford
Lucia, Lucia, by Adriana Trigiani
The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein
Three Spencer Quinn mysteries if you are a dog lover (as I AMMMMMMM): Dog on It, One Good Dog, and To Fetch a Thief. Fun, fun stories!
And now…drumroll because this is sooooo out of character for me…I’m reading the Twilight series. I can’t believe it! No one who knows me would believe it! I just can’t stand not KNOWING what they’re like, having them recommended to me and feeling ignorant. The SURPRISE here is (at least half way through the second book, Breaking Dawn) is that I’m truly enjoying the series.
Oh. Lest you think I sit around reading and eating bon bons all day, many of my books are audiobooks, which I listen to as I drive to and from work, etc., etc. My latest passion is my iPod Touch, which my WONDERFUL son surprised me with for Christmas. My Touch has now joined my Kindle as traveling companions.
Happy New Year. What are YOU reading?
You must be in techie heaven with all your devices. Now you can read the same books on your iPod as on your Kindle, right?
Yes, Nancy, I do love my electronic toys. I could read on my iPod Touch, but I don’t. I’d rather have the bigger screen with the eInk on my Kindle But…I love listening to audiobooks on my iPod. Very nice!
