This Week…Short And a Hint of Fall

Waking up to temps in the 70's sounds really nice to me!  I hope that you are having a fun weekend.

Good morning! I am a one-at-a-time reader, but I do read somewhere around a book a week so do get a lot of book time in.

It's been beautiful here in terms of weather, but some plants are starting to turn colors so Autumn is definitely on the way!

Hi Kathy,
I always have at least one book going and usually more, a combination of fiction and nonfiction. My fiction reading is usually a cozy mystery of some kind. Right now, the nonfiction is Force of Nature by Joan Griffin (not to be confused with Force of Nature by Jane Harper). It is about three women in their fifties who set out to hike the John Muir Trail and all the trials and tribulations of that adventure.

Kathy, Books are my go-to just before hitting the pillow!

Thanks for the mention. I usually recommend books on Facebook. 

I like your quote selections.

Thank you, Kathy, for your delightful reflections on the magic of books amidst the shift toward fall. I appreciate your encouragement to cherish reading, especially as we approach the holidays—it’s a wonderful reminder to value the beauty found within every page!

Hi Kathy... I love books. I love holding them. I love reading them. It's one reason I don't read on any electronic device. I want the real thing.

Hi Kathy,

Reading can help you personally, in business or transport you to another place and many times another time or world.  Reading is good for the mind and the soul

Good morning Kathy. I like mostly non-fiction but thanks to our Roy Kelley got into fiction and read a couple hundred fiction books in the last few years with plans for moire to come soon. Enjoy your day.

I am not a big reader of fiction. I love history and non-fiction. I think the real world is much crazier than any writers imagination. 

Great information. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your weekend, and

here's a GOOD LUCK to your favorite Football Team! Bill

The Martin quote caused me to reflect on the number of times I have envisioned myself in the books I read anticipating what my reaction might have been.

I have the same issues with short weeks that you have Kathy.  I was messed up all week.

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the PHOTOSgroup!

This week was a short week Kathy Streib . My garbage is set out on Tuesday nights also but I got home later and others already had theirs out! Loved the weather this morning 70 degrees walking was wonderful! I have 2 books going right now and as you know I love the read!

Kathy our temperatures are now in the mid 50's in the morning, and warm up to the mid 70's.  I am enjoying it while it lasts.

Let he you, I am an avid reader and get so engrossed in some stories that hours pass by before realizing it. So far, I’ve traveled the world multiple times without a passport!

Kathy Streib  what a great post and loved the quotes, now in all fairness for Diane every day is National Book Day for me thanks to the Internet, Real Estate etc.  I have been reading less and less but I do have three books next to the bed and two are being read on and off, Endre

Rick has several authors he enjoys and even proof reads for a couple. I have never really been a book reader, but on our last camping trip I found a couple of books in a book exchange area and I really enjoyed both of them! Old dog, new tricks. LOL

Hi Katy:

I always have a tough time with adjusting after a Monday holiday. Today our heatwave continues and it's 95 here in Carlsbad - a rarity for us but supposedly cooler tomorrow.

As far as reading I prefer fiction and almost always read for a while before going to sleep. The quotes were wonderful, particularly the one by Martin.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
