Ha. I would love to have 30 hours in a day, Alice! 🙂 Unfortunately, some of my extra time for reading comes when I have insomnia in the middle of the night. I’d rather sleep more and read less, but for now, if I wake up and can’t go back to sleep after an hour or so, I pull out a book until I doze back off.

You know how it is, Jean: one book leads to another leads to another. ha. I jot down titles that authors recommend in the middle of their books, write down titles from podcasts I hear, from blogs I read (like yours!), etc. Being able to get the Kindle samples has really helped me too. It lets me know if the book is worth chasing down or not. Thankfully our library has most of the newer books (not always as soon as they come out, but eventually). I’ve found that NetGalley often has the newest books free for review, if I can catch them in time. They tend to archive them quickly.

I’ve tried getting my husband interested in the Enneagram myself. It hasn’t gone too well. ha. Maybe you’ll have better luck than me. Nonetheless, he still listens about it when I share so that’s good enough. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the novels you’re reading. I always appreciate personal recommendations on fiction books!

I’m glad these interest you, too, Char. It was a particularly great month of reading for me. Sometimes books come in clumps like that. 🙂

Thanks, Floyd. I don’t know how much I am succeeding, but I do try to at least hear other voices and try to learn from them. Including yours!
