I added the "A Thousand Ways..." book to my list, to look for when I scour the used bookstores. Favorite memory from childhood: going to the library with my sisters, checking out as many books as we were allowed and then spending the summer afternoon on blankets outside, reading for hours.Hollyhttp://www.mistyhillstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227694271820521578.post-28678768892978438302017-05-26T07:44:13.766-04:002017-05-26T07:44:13.766-04:00I enjoyed this blog entry!

(I travel a good bit now and carrying a "library" on my iPad is preferable to carrying/packing a stack of books for the plane.) Despite my being old(er than you), I lately learned a "new computer trick". I read "These is My Words" by Nancy Turner (from the library) after watching a little video online where Diane Williams designed a cross stitch about the series and presented it to the author. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to read the next book in the series. The only version our library had was available as an ebook (audio version) and since I was (still am) stitching a model, I downloaded the app and "read" that book as well as the 3rd book in the series via my iPad. Last night I finished listening to another book (A Man Called Ove). Listening to audio books while stitching is a great way to combine 2 of my favorite things I like to do.<br /><br />I like to haunt Half Price Books and our local Goodwill and have found lots of good books for $2 and under.

We have so many bookshelves everywhere in our home. I know them all, like dear friends. I'm an only child so books have been my constant companion for decades. <br />Kay.*-*https://www.blogger.com/profile/13586909718984864426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227694271820521578.post-20797465474010021052017-05-25T06:28:17.368-04:002017-05-25T06:28:17.368-04:00I love getting lost in a good book but haven't...I love getting lost in a good book but haven't had the concentration to read lately, I need to get back. I wonder if the Cranford book was what the tv series was based on. I love all the English Tv shows. I have to have a book in my hand, a kindle doesn't cut it. Enjoy your collection.

I would never have bought one, but was gifted my first one and it comes in VERY useful for traveling! No more arguments about hauling my heavy tote bag of books along.<br /><br />I don't have a summer reading list per se, but I am doing the Goodreads & Popsugar yearly reading challenges. And I've added a couple of your books to the TBR list! 😀Liongoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164872353132582575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227694271820521578.post-61071242486629221962017-05-24T20:02:18.631-04:002017-05-24T20:02:18.631-04:00I love books.

I use my local library often now since we had a change in income, but I love when my mom or one of my children give me books as a gift. I keep those I like/love to read and reread in the future. I like modern books that deal with womens relationships and mild romance. I also enjoy mysteries and historical novels. Some older titles are quite interesting. Enjoy your summer reading.CathieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466163934848609107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227694271820521578.post-85843309230016429402017-05-24T19:35:13.648-04:002017-05-24T19:35:13.648-04:00What a perfect summer tradition!

I read a variety of books including those by authors long gone, a particular favourite of mine is C. S. Lewis, such a clever and articulate man! Have you had the pleasure too? Enjoy your summer basket!

I also love books to be arranged a certain way and in bookcases throughout the house. My husband just started writing his own books and they are retro thrillers which cover his background of flying. His first book did very well on Amazon and he is now ready to send his second one off to be published. Like you he likes the older eras.<br /><br />I'm not a kindle person either. I love the feel of the book and turning the page and don't think I'll ever change. Looks like you are going to be very busy with reading and getting the Texas basket put together. Enjoy!

(Think zero dollars) I have one more new book on hold. Then it is back to old series for me. I never lack for books!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601483236926246196noreply@blogger.com
