As for how I read so much, it helps to be a single, self-employed, homebody, LOL. But before you think I just sit and read 24-hours a day, I don't. I just have certain times of day that are set aside for reading. For one thing, I always, always, always read before bedtime. Typically about an hour-ish a night. That's a habit my parents instilled in me early, and I'm glad they did! But I'm not actually the fastest physical reader, so audiobooks have helped me get to many books that I wouldn't have had time to get to otherwise. I listen in the car, while crocheting, while washing dishes, etc. But just remember, it isn't about the numbers, it's about the enjoyment. If you can only read a few books a year, but those books are excellent and you love them, then that's enough. :)(less)

Last year, (2025) I discovered the 2007 movie “The Ballet Shoes” and enjoyed it. It was very whimsical, light, and sweet. When I saw during the end credits that it was based on a book, I decided I might as well read the book, too.

This is a very sweet

Anne Elisabeth Stengl
“I'll never tell you to stop loving. You see, I believe in hopeless love. Oh yes. I believe in it with all my heart, though you may discount the heart of an old nanny like me. For real love brings pain. Real love means sacrifices and hurts and all the thousand shocks of life. But it also means beauty, true beauty.”
Anne Elisabeth Stengl, Moonblood

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Anne Elisabeth Stengl
“Foxbrush sneezed again.

He couldn't help himself. It's not something a fellow likes to do when a stunningly beautiful woman is leaning toward him with an expression on her face like Nidawi's wore. But sneezes are not prey to the wants or wishes of those inflicted with them. He sneezed so violently that he nearly knocked his forehead against Nidawi's exquisite little chin. She leapt back lightly, frowning at first, then shaking the frown into a rain of laughter.”
Anne Elisabeth Stengl, Shadow Hand

J.R.R. Tolkien
“The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

Toni Morrison
“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison
