I just wish I had more time to read. It's hard to get engrossed in a good book when I'm only reading in fits and starts. Isn't it fun to peruse the shelves at a library and come home with an armful? I will probably being doing a lot of that once we're retired and living (on a budget!) in Oregon. ;)<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying some of the cooler weather we had this past weekend.

Somehow I have gotten myself all involved in obligatory reading, for challenges or promised reviews, and it's sucking the joy out of my pleasure in reading and blogging. I went to the library tonight and just picked up books from the shelves that looked good, as I used to do in 2006. I'm my own worst enemy, thank goodness you're here to remind me how reading ought to be.<br /><br />And, Happy Labor Day (yesterday). We're back to 98 degree temps which are making me chafed and irritable, in case you couldn't tell. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-32673697070049482592016-09-06T04:37:31.326-07:002016-09-06T04:37:31.326-07:00Have we talked about The Sixth Idea?

Neither of us are much impressed, but we'll probably finish it on another trip at some point.
