Thank you, Lisa. My “Sole Sisters’ book has been through a pilot study with 4 other women here and we had a grand time. It caused me to tweak a few areas in the text (not the content). Self publication will happen after I have had (and healed) from a hip replacement surgery. It seemed best in that sequence, esp. as it has taken two years to find the right surgeon to do what will be a complicated surgery but one he is up to. And we know God can do complicated! No date set yet – waiting on a call from his nurse.

I can understand how reading multiple books could cause anxiety, Paula. I get that way when I have several books from the library at one time because I know they’ll all come due and what if I haven’t finished them yet? (Even though our library had stopped charging overdue fines, I still don’t want to be late! ha). But if they’re just my own books or books to review, it alleviates that pressure for me.

Yep, I guess that’s just the way we are, Joanne. I’m with you on starting more than one book at once. 🙂

I remembered you recommending this book as well, Michele! Now I understand why. 🙂

I have to remind myself to slow down when I read, too. Granted, some books are only scan-worthy anyway, and I don’t mind zipping through those, but other books do need to be savored at a slower pace.

David Brooks is a great writer in general, so having great content to write about made the book even more special!

I hope you’ll like it if you get the book, Debra! It’s a great one.

We read the same way, Cindy. 🙂 I typically read only one fiction book at a time but mixed in with several nonfictions and an audiobook here and there. Often times my audiobook is the same as one of the books I’m reading so I can choose whether to listen or read, depending on what else I’m doing.

You are my type of reader if you’re currently exploring four books, Steph! It’s just more interesting to be able to swap back and forth, yes? 🙂 I had put “How to Know a Person” on hold at my library months ago before it finally reached me. But it was worth the wait!

Thanks, Jennifer. I wish my friend V was doing better, but she’s not. 🙁 But yes, I am so grateful for the types of friends that stick close by us through thick and thin! Those are the kind I want to hold on to forever.
