Kathy's Manifest

It's a little bit late for tonight but I am going to try to finish "Outlander" this week. I bought the next book in the series weeks ago. Less TV will help.

Christie's Manifest

I am reading the rest of the stories in the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories book.

What are you all reading?

Christie's Manifest

My currently reading book is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The every now and then books still include I Thought It Was Just Me, The Bible, and Designing a Woman's Life.

I'm glad to be back to some regular, before bed reading... though sometimes it's hard to concentrate on a classic, written long ago, when I've had a long, tiring day. But I'm pushing through because really, I love it.

Hope everyone else is enjoying a good book!

Christie's Finished

This was actually finished last week, but while we were on our trip, I read Stop Me by Brenda Novak. It's a crime-fiction/romance novel and it was a fun read for a day at the airport. It got me missing reading quite a bit, so now I'm reading again before bed.

Hopefully everyone else is having time for pleasure reading as well. Post when you can! :)

A wordie from Christie...

Shame as defined for discussion in I Thought it Was Just Me (But it Isnt):

"Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging. Women often experience shame when they are entangled in a web of layered, conflicting, and competing social-community expectations. Shame creates feelings of fear, blame, and disconnection" (p. 30).

Cindy's Manifest

Well, I finished reading "The Good Mother" yesterday. That allowed e to try out a couple of easy reads for the remainder of my summer vacation. I have "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows" which was a gift from Brian. That is at the top of the list. I don't really have another at this time, though I might pull out "Gone with the Wind" again. I have only read it a thousand times, but I used it in my "time capsule" for my art and humanities final. It re-peaked my interest, and sometimes it is nice to just enjoy something for the sheer enjoyment, without having to 'get' more knowledge, etc...

Christie's Manifest

I miss reading.

I have done very little of it lately... except for on our vacation when I read a 400+ page book in a day because we got stuck at the airport. I really enjoyed it, even though (or especially because?) the book was a silly crime-fiction/romance novel.

Although I have a bazillion (seriously) other things I want to be doing as well, it's time to put reading back at the top of my list. I'll be continuing with I Thought it Was Just Me and Designing a Woman's Life, plus I'll add something else... though I'm not sure what yet, I'm betting it will probably be fiction... or maybe I'll finally actually start The Greatest Generation Speaks.

So, what are you all reading?

Books? Always one in progress.....

I should be like Mom and keep a book in my purse. You never know when you'll have five minutes to get a few pages in...Still reading Outlander. Paused on the others. Will share later this week about a book I am revisiting--Style Statement. Until then, happy reading!

Christie's Manifest...

Christie is still reading the same book too. I haven't started The Greatest Generation yet. When we go on our trip I'll probably bring a silly summer read for the beach, just in case I have time. Tana also recommended a couple books that I might try to get at the library. I just haven't had the time to read lately, but as much as I love it (and kind of miss it), I think I'll try harder to start up again before bed.

Cindy is Still Reading the same books...

except Patriot Hearts. I tried, but it just wasn't working for me...
