Musing Mondays - Feb 15



Musing Mondays is a weekly meme sponsored by Jenn of A Daily Rhythm that asks you to choose one of the following prompts to answer:
  • I’m currently reading…
  • Up next I think I’ll read…
  • I bought the following book(s) in the past week…
  • I’m super excited to tell you about (book/author/bookish-news)…
  • I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…
  • I can’t wait to get a copy of…
  • I wish I could read ___, but…
  • I blogged about ____ this past week…
THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you read more than one book at once? Why, or why not?

Hard to believe another week has passed. I've been breezing my way through Touches of Time by LoRee Peery. In addition, I pre-ordered a copy of Heroines of Mercy Street, which I am eagerly awaiting. Should be here in two days.

My only frustration remains my lack of reading time. With work and home life, little time is left to read. I find myself tired often, so I fall asleep without getting a chance to read. Are any of you experiencing the same thing?

I truly long for the days when I was a stay-at-home mom who could read for a couple of hours each night.

As for what I think I will read next, I'm hoping for An Amish Market, a short story collection with a story by Vannetta Chapman.

And do I read more than one book at once? Not usually, but lately I am because I have an audio book in the car and am reading one at home.

Hope you all have a great week.

I have yet to listen to an audio book, primarily because I don't do commuting any more since I've been retired...and I haven't taken a road trip in ages. That may change soon, though.

Here is my MUSING MONDAYS POST

Thanks for stopping by, ladies. Laurel, I didn't use to enjoy audio books until I started driving so much. Sometimes I will pop one into my laptop while I do some mindless work.

When I was commuting back and forth to uni-(2hours each way) i listened to audio books - the only other reading i was doing was all academic for courses so they were life savers. My sister who is blind and only listens to audio often has two on the go:)
