I love my commute. What other train can I sit with my Kindle, 6" E Ink Display
and knock out a few chapters in the morning? I love it. But this past month, I've had to take a break from the classics and move onto some mindless reading for now. Then again, some of the stuff I read this month was intense....

Okay so not as many as I had hoped. But I am starting to chip away at this list. Here's to the short month of February! And hey, here's to travelling for a conference- airports are the best places to read! Maybe I'll cross another 2 or 3 off!
Happy Reading!

I'm in the middle of The Secret Garden now! It's good but not what I'd call a quick read. I've been busy with other things lately and haven't been focusing on reading.

One day I'll have time to read things other than short articles. Right now my toddlers don't give me much time, but I did start "At Wits End". I need to finish it. Its very humorous and moms can relate.

I am going crazy with books too especially now that I have Kindle! I finished the trilogy of 50 Shades (crap if you ask me.. I can write better) Now reading The Treasure of Jaguar Warrior, a comedy actually. Waiting in the list are Cry Silent Tears about child abuse and Finding Rebecca about love during the time of holocaust. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWell, you definitely read more than I did! I don't know how people find time to sit down to read, I wish I could do that! :)

WOW! You're quite the reader! I am so impressed! I am so terrible at sticking to a book, I read and then put it down for a week, and then I continue, and so on and so forth! Good for you!
