I love to read as well, but I have so much distraction these days I can't concentrate lol! I'm more of a summer reader when I can sit out on the porch. My big interest these days is biographies. I just finished one on Chico Marx.Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-68440775587881161242019-01-15T15:35:33.429-07:002019-01-15T15:35:33.429-07:00You're so kind, Stacy!

When I wrote my post last week, I did a little online searching, and I found that I could order the edition of Bambi I had when I was a little girl through an Amazon linked bookseller. It arrived today, and I was so excited!!!!! It's in beautiful condition. I read it immediately, even though I had just gotten out of the shower. I can't tell you how incredible it was to read it again! I hope all is going well with you.

I didn't think much about gut health until C. difficile came close to killing me. Now I think about it all the time. Good luck with eating whole foods and following the Mediterranean diet. I'm cooking as much as I can from scratch. The Mediterranean diet is reputed to be the best, so I've been using it when we're home. I still have to increase vegetables though. Have a good one!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-32155397860484629782019-01-14T20:02:57.062-07:002019-01-14T20:02:57.062-07:00My grandmother got me hooked on reading when I was...My grandmother got me hooked on reading when I was just a wee little one. She would always buy me Sesame Street books that were personalized with my name worked into the story. I've been an avid reader ever since.<br /><br />I read so many books last year but didn't keep a list. Some of my favorites though were Whisky In A Teacup, We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, The Perfume Burned His Eyes, and Stephen King's Sleeping Beauties. I haven't picked up a book with a story line in it yet this year as I am teaching myself Spanish, so I have been reading a lot of English to Spanish books. Aside from that, I've also been reading a lot of informational books on gut health and studying more about whole foods eating and the Mediterranean diet.

I'm not planning to leave the house today until we're plowed and dug out, and not like then either. Every reader is unique, and however you read is you choice. I don't consider six books at a time ridiculous for anyone but me. My brain probably couldn't handle reading six books at a time, but sometimes I have two or three books going at once. I loved "Gone Girl," and I read "Heart of Darkness" decades ago in a lit class at university. I should read it again. Your other books look intriguing. So many wonderful books to read! So little time! LOL I'm determined to up my reading time this year, because I so love to read. All the best to you, Janie, in the new year!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-59441867022093698192019-01-12T00:47:46.458-07:002019-01-12T00:47:46.458-07:00I love the photo of you.

Milne, The White Album by Joan Didion (a collection of essays), A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, and The All Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg. Is it ridiculous to read six books at the same time?<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-32750390387759573062019-01-11T18:50:47.542-07:002019-01-11T18:50:47.542-07:0022 books is a great accomplishment, Martha!

We always got books for Christmas. My mother used to send me to the library to get books for her when I was in my early teens ~ too many little ones at home for her to go. I, too, thought all kids went to the library. We were fortunate to have such mothers!
