Laurel County’s comments from the Laurel County Public Library group.

QOTD: When you're super busy, how do you make time for reading?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?

I plan on reading more of The City Baker's Guide to Country Living when I get the time.

QOTD: It's a cold, rainy November day. What is your cozy reading setup? What could you typically be found reading on a day like that?

This Thursday's topic:
Reading with candles or fairy lights?

That's awesome! I have really fell off the wagon when it comes to challenges. I just kind of read whatever I felt like picking up at the time, for whatever reason. I wanted to be more intentional with my reading this year, but that didn't really happen. So, it's one of my goals for next year.

Just remember it's all about enjoying the experience...quality over quantity. I'm glad you're enjoying your current book.

If you don't like reading books that long, then I would also recommend Big Lies in a Small Town by Diane Chamberlain.

I find that I don't read a lot of "beaut..."

Since I love reading beautifully written books, I can give you tons of recommendations. My first recommendation is Addie Larue!

I love books with beautiful writing. I have a few that come to mind with this question. If I have to choose just one, then I'm definitely going with The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V. E. Schwab. It's my favorite book.

I'll usually just brew some coffee with peppermint mocha creamer, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle."

Aww, I'm so glad you love it! I thought it was an adorable holiday mug.

In the mornings it will always be a mug of hot coffee. In the evenings, I will either fill my mug with hot tea or maybe hot cocoa, just depends.

QOTD: Today's Instagram photo challenge is to share a photo for #mugmonday. So, do you have a favorite mug that you like to use when reading? Now that the colder weather is settling in, what warm beverage do you usually have in your mug while reading?
