I really did, Tanja. I hadn't expected to, but it was very engrossing and short chapters, which I love!
I loved Very Valentine. I was reading it at the same time as the Secret Service, so it was a nice refreshing break! I tend to read more non-fiction than fiction, so if I give non-fiction a 5-star rating, it has to be good!
How did you like Very Valentine? and The Secret Service book sounds interesting too and also The Diary! You've read some good ones lately Julie!

31. Emily Post Daughter of the Gilded Age, Mistress of American Manners
I loved it once I finished it, but it troubled me at times and I had to put it down for a day or two and read something else. I gave it 5 stars which I rarely ever do, because it had touched me so much. I would definitely encourage anyone to read it, but keep something else on hand to read at the same time!
Julie ~ What did you think of "If You Give a Mom a Martini 100 Ways to Find 10 Blissful Minutes for Yourself?"
I'm not quite sure! Right now, I'm reading them in order of what's due at the library soonest! After that, I'll have one of my kids pick one randomly!
Ok, I was definitely going too fast then! I will slow it down and try again. :) I did figure out a way to attach my laptop to the treadmill, that was fun. But reading is always better!
I have the incline on 3.5 and I walk at 3.0. I did it yesterday and stayed on for an extra 15 minutes so I could finish a chapter! You might try it with large print books...makes it easier to read!

I've tried reading on the treadmill, but it didn't work out too well. lol Maybe I was going to fast... How fast do you walk? I need motivation to get back on it!
