Heather (Capricious Reader) just got me addicted to a new app called Reeder, so now I can keep up with all my favorite blogs even more easily. :)<br /><br />I'm hoping to get my review for Turn of Mind written today or tomorrow. I'm soooooo behind!!<br /><br />Kailana - Turn of Mind is excellent. I still think about the characters and their situations. Wish I had time to read it again.<br /><br />I'm slowly listening to the Maisie Dobbs book. I generally listen while at work. I've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks, so I haven't listened for a long time. Thanks for the link to SuziQ's review for the Captain John book. I did see it and may have to give it a try once up catch up on all of Winspear's books.<br /><br />Nan - I thought you'd get a kick out of that! :) That's too bad that your treadmill doesn't have a place for a book. I know they make trays/racks that you could order. I have a hard time reading a book while walking, though. You'd think it'd be the same as the iPad, but I can make the font much larger and don't have to hold anything. I would think you could use your Kindle, though. If you had something to set it in.<br /><br />A 20 degree drop in temps may not a fall make, but the leaves are already beginning to turn! :( I'm not ready for summer to end!<br /><br />Jill - Yes, it's a wonderful problem, isn't it. I managed to read a couple on all the flights I took this past week, although during the time our visitors were here, I didn't read a single page. Too tired at night...<br /><br />I'm glad you guys were able to stop and visit, if only for an overnight stay. Yes, our house is FULL of books. Hope you enjoy some of the ones I shared.<br /><br />I don't mind reading outside on the porch, but once winter rolls around, we pretty much hole up in the house. Perfect for reading by the fire in our cozy living room.<br /><br />Joy - Yeah, I know this turned out to be a rather long post. Not my typical deal, huh? ;)<br /><br />Wow! I thought I was the only one who used an iPad on the treadmill. Isn't it great?!<br /><br />Ah, Summer People. Yeah, I love that cover, but the book really stinks. I still need to write a short blurb about it...Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-15317999189885706042011-08-13T08:44:49.681-07:002011-08-13T08:44:49.681-07:00Wow!

I think th...Wow! I have lots to respond to here. <br /><br />I think the iPad is the best thing ever! I use it on the stationary bike, as well as the treadmill. :)<br /><br />I bought Summer People for the cover only. I didn't know anything about it. After I brought it home, I looked it up and decided to not even open it. It only cost me $1 at a library sale, so no big loss. <br /><br />I'll comment on the plethora of books you listed when you post individual reviews. :)<br /><br />You've made me very curious about the book by Eggers. I have What is the What on my shelf and iPod, but just haven't attempted either. No real reason behind that.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-32163937485407138272011-08-09T05:31:09.717-07:002011-08-09T05:31:09.717-07:00So many books, so little time- a wonderful problem...So many books, so little time- a wonderful problem if one can choose their problems.<br /><br />I loved seeing your home full of books- they make a home so cozy.

I have yet to figure out how to do the same on mine. It is in the bedroom. I have no tv. I have no place to put a book. I don't have an iPod, etc. All these excuses = never using the treadmill. :<)<br /><br />I love how you said, "A 20 degree temperature drop from 104 does not a fall make." <br /><br />My word verification: steryoNanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-35874524159389199702011-08-08T03:28:37.010-07:002011-08-08T03:28:37.010-07:00Turn of Mind does sound good. :) I am all caught u...Turn of Mind does sound good. :) I am all caught up with Maisie, so I am just waiting for the new book. Did you see this review on Whimpulsive: http://www.whimpulsive.net/2011/08/return-of-captain-john-emmett-by.html. It sounds like a good book to read when you are out of Maisie books and I assume it will be a series...Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-65905824269711036182011-08-07T21:03:26.273-07:002011-08-07T21:03:26.273-07:00I would really like to get an iPad so I can work o...I would really like to get an iPad so I can work out AND check blogs at the same time! what a great idea!

Kathy ...Thanks for being such a faithful visitors!<br /><br />Kathy - I'm a little tired, too, but it's been a fun-filled summer. Winter will be here before I know it and I'll have lots of time to curl up with my books. <br /><br />Diane - Aren't they good books?! I'm anxious to get back to Zeitoun.<br /><br />Iliana - Thank you! I've been visiting your blog quite frequently, but don't comment as often as I'd like. I keep watching the weather down there and think about you and Andi and Kay (and my daughter in Dallas), all melting in that Texas heat! Ugh is right! Hang in there. Winter, or at least fall, will be here before we know it, right?Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-88576870333792686932011-08-07T17:46:26.602-07:002011-08-07T17:46:26.602-07:00Great to see you back Les!

Ugh. <br /><br />Hopefully this Maisie Dobbs book is going much better for you than the previous one. I did like this one a lot more so keeping my fingers crossed.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-18235347512213431352011-08-07T15:19:46.299-07:002011-08-07T15:19:46.299-07:00I liked Girl in Translation and Zeitoun.
