But Where Will I Read? Part 2

We have moved. It is done. But...is it ever really done? The boxes are all unpacked and the furniture is all placed. I know where MOST of my belongings are and I can USUALLY find the right switch for the light I want to use. There is also, however, the never ending list of improvement projects that keep us busy and, let's be honest, I keep finding different ways of organizing. It's my spiritual gift.

In the midst of this process, I started teaching again, my sister had a baby, my cousin got married, and my kids went back to school and daycare. It's all been a very rich time, and filled my minutes and hours with exciting new experiences, and also a few three year old melt downs.

So I find myself, at the beginning of September, on a glorious almost-fall day, having planted my mums and swept my porch and sitting down without a favorite book to read or a favorite place to read it. I have not yet answered my question...where will I read?

I could read here..



Or here...

Or here...










But the routine still isn't there, the places don't feel right yet, and frankly I'm tired. So meanwhile I mostly read facebook and also these books to get me back in the brain of middle school girls again...

When I'm done with these, I hope to get back to my routine and joy of reading novels. I have this stack waiting for me. They haven't appealed to me much yet so I may take them back and start fresh. If you see one in here that you loved, please tell me and maybe I won't abandon it.



(By the way, if you came here looking for book recommendations, in July I really enjoyed A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman, I mostly enjoyed My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry by the same author, and I devoured the new Harry Potter, which everyone will tell you is not the same because it is a script but I think a different Harry Potter is better than no Harry Potter at all. )
