Hey there, book friends! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the good things about spring wherever you live. I had said I hoped to be a little more present here on my blog, but that has been a bit tough. Not from bad things, but we've had some family stuff and will continue to have that in upcoming days. My in-laws are going to be moving into senior housing in a few weeks and we will be helping them get that accomplished. It does take some time and effort to sort out what needs to stay and go and go away - right? My folks have been gone for many years, but I remember that time of assisting them. We are glad that they have decided on their own that the transition time is here (they are in their 90's).
So, my reading has been a bit off (still - sigh!) and I know that one day I'll get my mind a bit more settled. I keep sitting down to read and then thinking of something else that needs to be noted down or whatever, jumping up, and doing that instead. Ha! I did read 7 books in April, but several of them were re-reads. I'm hoping to attend at least two book groups in May. And other than those, I'm thinking of just putting a 'pause' on my TBR and turning to my 'comfort' reads. What are they? Well, I'll share a link here from a post I did a few years ago about my favorite 'comfort reads'.
If you take a look at that post and have read any of those books, please tell me what you thought about them. Or just tell me what would qualify as 'comfort reads' for you. I'll try to get around to all your blogs and comment as I can, but I'm suspecting that it will be a few weeks before I can get more regular here. Take care, everyone! I put a favorite 'morning light' picture above and will add another at the end. Happy reading!!
As I mentioned in a reply to your comment on my blog, I'm glad your in-laws have made this decision. It will give you and Hayden some peace of mind, right? I hope your reading begins to pick up again as we head into the summer months. I know the feeling of sitting down to read and getting distracted by my To Do list. I feel as if I'm constantly adding to it, trying to get my ducks in a row before we leave on our RV trip next week. & books in April is quite good, though, Kay! Re-reading does bring comfort, doesn't it? I need to pick one from my shelf to re-read this month. Maybe I'll go with Writers & Lovers before I read Heart the Love (Lily King). We'll see...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous morning light photos! The trees and hills tend to block my morning view of the sun, but we sure did get some gorgeous sunsets!
Take good care, my friend.
