Picking Up More New Books!

I have spent most of this week picking up books to read than I have spent reading!


My Book of the Month book came in, I picked up a book from the library and I ended up picking up 2 more books from the bookstore and I just finished reading 1 book and that was Wonder by R.J. Palacio.


The day after I finished reading Wonder, I watched the movie, and it was well done. I liked the actors that they ended up picking for the roles as well.


Reading is the best past time thing that you can do, and it is really a good way to keep your brain always engaged and young. Due to this, I feel like I need to get back into the routine of reading every single day. Well, I do in a sense, but I feel like I need to be making more of a point to be reading every single day.


I can and I can’t read every day, I mean it is easy enough to do it, but to be getting away from my phone and turning off the TV to read even if it is for 15 minutes that day is better than playing games or watching TV, that don’t really matter. I guess what I am trying to say is that I should be putting my money where my mouth is and be trying to do better with my brands and well my overall in put in my work by reading as it is my job to do so. The great part of it is, is that when I am on break at my other jobs, I can read so I am just in the habit of batching honestly! No extra time required.


I haven’t been overly successful with reading more than one book at a time, but it is something that I can do semi successfully. I mean it is something that I want to try but I don’t think I can honestly be doing that successfully all the time. I want to be able to do that but at the same time, I can only read one book at a time, so it is more which one does I read today!


I am currently reading The Only One Left by Riley Sager, but I am considering starting to ready my Book of the Month Book, The Stranger Upstairs by Lisa M. Martin as it is about 286 pages so I would be able to read majority if not all of that today if I really worked hard on it. I know that I only have The Only One Left for the rest of the week from the library as it is an express book, but I could always get it digitally to read or wait until it comes off the express shelf to be read later. I could also just wait until it comes into the bookstore as well which could be sooner than you think. I only say this because I feel somewhat obligated to take it out of the library.


I am considering picking up Kathy Reichs new book on the express shelve next week as the books that she writes is what the TV show Bones is based off. I have never seen that show, but I am interested in the show and reading the books, so this could be a good pathway into both worlds!
