Paula, you must be my long, lost twin sister!! Your schedule and habits sound very much like mine. I fit in an audio book anytime I can, and also read much more than watch TV! And my motto for many years has been "Always Bring a Book!" There have been too many times that I have had to sit and wait unexpectedly and have been saved by a book ;) I used to have to carry one, but now it is so handy to have my audio book as well as a whole library in my pocket (phone!), though I do still read print books.

Glad to know others out there read like I do, because it seems no one in my family or even town understand my feelings for books. That's why I feel at home at GR! I've found my people. Thanks for being one of them!! Happy Reading :)

I’m not gonna say my dad got around back in the day, but this could be a possibility. 😆

It has been so much fun, and I found out that I am a BIG fan of Toni Morrison. I’m reading her 4th novel now.

I’m 45% in, and Emma is a mess. She is either going to sleep with several people or kill her husband in his sleep because she hates the way he breathes. Either way, I’m here for it.

[Sara, Old School Classics]

The sound you are hearing is me clapping and gasping. You are amazing!

[Kathleen]

Yay for you, Paula! And yay for a new Toni Morrison fan!

Well done Paula! You read two Jane Austen, I see. For years she was one of my favorites. She is worth reading read again and again. Maybe you already know this. . . .
