My reading has increased, as has my quilting productivity. :-)MagistraCarminumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226438692602419854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12660971.post-90765548111399786782017-02-25T09:52:27.540-07:002017-02-25T09:52:27.540-07:00Lately I've been mostly reading e-mails, sprea...Lately I've been mostly reading e-mails, spreadsheets, and Googled instructions. I tend toward the monogamous in my hobbies ... one project at a time in knitting, one book at a time in reading. I am listening to Two Years Before the Mast while knitting, and have just finished The Old Hand-Knitters of the Dales for a real, actual, printed book. Next up is River Ganseys, in the same genre. (Historical knitting non-fiction, anyone?) I am sloooowly working through C. S. Lewis' Poems, when I remember that I am doing so. And I abandoned Livy when the weather got good enough to ride my bike outdoors, say, April 2016?<br /><br />How are we doing on our end of January resolutions? I have deleted Facebook from my tablet, which has done marvelously well for the 'less time on social media'.

I have books of all types go...The same way you do. I have books of all types going at any one time. :). It helps me to have various types of books since I'm not home much and can listen to audio and read on my kindle app elsewhere. I usually have a devotional book or two that I read in the mornings, a paper fiction and non-fiction title, one or two eBooks, and an audiobook. My biggest difficulty are the popular library books that have to be returned before I can finish them. I either have to put them back on hold and read the rest at a later date, which is frustrating and fragmenting or, sometimes, never get back to them at all. <br /><br />I need to be better disciplined in my reading life. <br /><br />Joyjlthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293720624466655384noreply@blogger.com
