Reading Makes Me Mirthful!

So I'm in the middle of an amazingly good book, Room by Emma Donoghue and as I am reading I can actually feel my heart race. I am so incredibly nervous for the mother and son in this story...Wanting to yell, "No...don't do it!", and at the same time wanting them to take the chance that's making me ever so nervous.

I read everyday at work during my lunch break and have to set an alarm or else I'd be reading until folks came to find me.

Folks always ask what I'm reading and I sometimes wonder if I should tell them ALL of the books that I'm reading at a particular time...or just the ONE that they see me with.

I love books sooo much that I have to have one with me AT ALL TIMES, which means that I read a variety of formats.

I am reading Room in the most traditional sense, as in, a bound book with PHYSICAL pages that I have to turn.

I am also reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. That one is on CD and I listen in my car while driving. I gotta tell ya...audio books make these L.A. commutes so much more bearable.

And then there's, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair) by Rosie Perez. That one I listen to via Overdrive which I just recently discovered. Still audio format, but I connect my phone to my blue tooth speaker in the house and listen while I'm cleaning, cooking, or whatever I'm doing around the house. LOVE IT!

So yeah...at any given time I am READING at LEAST three books.

I capitalized reading because some folks don't consider AUDIO books as actual READING. Pfft! I beg to differ, and will continue READING my audio books as long as they are available.

I haven't gotten into "e-reading" and I'm not sure that I want to, nor am I sure that my "special" eyes can handle reading from a screen. So...to keep my eyes happy, I think I'll pass on e-books...at least for now.

That ends my short break from the book. Gonna make some home-made chicken soup (yes...on a Thursday night. Who does that?!?), and then go back and let my heart race a bit more.

Before I go...Let the DIALOGUE begin: What is YOUR favorite format for reading books?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
