I know so many people loved it but I was just not a fan!! I'm so behind on podcasts because of my new life I don't spend as much time puttering around the house or walking the dog or commuting - my main times to listen to them before - but I recently started making sure my headphones are always nearby so I can listen while breastfeeding. I still use both my hands too much to really read a book during breastfeeding (I'm hoping this will change down the road and I'll at least be able to read on my kindle!) so catching up on podcasts while feeding has been perfect!

Last time we were there I read two books over the week, and it was blissful. I usually go for non-fiction, but I am thinking of getting a great novel for this trip, or perhaps a book of short stories, which I never, ever, read. <br /><br />I am doing a short story unit with my class, and it has ignited a desire in me to read beautifully written, short pieces of fiction. There was a Canadian woman, Alice Munro, who won a Novel prize in literature for her short stories, so I am intrigued. It's fascinating how someone can develop characters in very few pages. <br /><br />Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-45651043768625054692017-12-06T06:35:07.220-06:002017-12-06T06:35:07.220-06:00I have Exit West on hold right now, but due to you...I have Exit West on hold right now, but due to your comment as well as Noras, I am considering taking it off my list. However, I may still have to give it a shot, as it did seem like an interesting story line! Have you read Lincoln in the Bardo? It has really good reviews, but my colleague at work said he could barely get past the first couple of chapters due to the writing style. <br /><br />I remember liking Everything I Never Told You and have had Little Fires on my hold list as well! I currently have a bunch of books on hold who have dozens of people in front of me, so it may be a while before I get a chance to read it. Although that is for the best, as I am not gobbling up books right now due to holidays etc...

No sense in wasting time on books that don't do it for me. <br /><br />10 books is an insanely good reading month! Nice job, even though it wasn't for the best reason why you read so much. Little Fires Everywhere was my favorite read for November, too!Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-18259820024846961692017-12-05T11:24:35.255-06:002017-12-05T11:24:35.255-06:00I didn't love Exit West, either. I wanted to, ...I didn't love Exit West, either. I wanted to, but just didn't. <br />I still haven't read any of Ng's books so I'll need to get on that! I did finish (another) YA book this morning and really enjoyed it; a non-fiction/memoir type book just became available on my Nook for me so I think I'll do that before going back to my usual holiday fluff books I read this time of year :) Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.com
