I might be able to get into this. I am doing all right.

For all the challenge-lovers and mystery / Celtic / paranormal readers who have not tried mine, I told you that my year has just resumed on February 1! You know where to join "Ethereal", "Celtic Coasts", and "My Kind Of Mystery". Last, I am pleased to show you: "Gentle Spectrums"! I hope you find them as fun as easy as I intended to make them.

If I have gone so far as to walk inside Jane Austen's house in Bath, England seven years ago; into the gift shop room and house's foyer, at the foot of her stairs: it is time I should read her oeuvres! I didn't purchase a ticket to tour it because that is appreciated by someone who had read her. It would be my pleasure, once familiar with her. As someone intent on being an authoress, it is high time to read her.

Happy "RIEDEL Fascination" day! My blog's four reading group themes ("challenges") start today! Join me for the spiritual / paranormal / mystical / fantasy at "Ethereal". Join me for "Celtic Coasts". Join me for colour and title-matching in "Gentle Spectrums". And here is the link for "My Kind Of Mystery"! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/mykind... Here's to a very good year! Woo hoo!

For spiritual, paranormal, fantasy readers - a lot of us; I showed you my theme "Ethereal"! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/ethere...

"Celtic Coasts" is my newest, starting its third year on February 1 with the others. For all of your Celtic authors, settings, and legends: I'll see you there! Mine is the only group for all 3 Celtic countries. https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/celtic...

I made good progress for two evenings. We are in a real story now. We feel for the Lacasse family, poor when WWII must have been bad enough. We admire Florentine, their eldest daughter holding them together with the sole income. We like her Dad too, even though he isn't smart about staying put to keep their income secure. But Florentine is vain and stupid about love and dating. I remember some of how this ends.

I have made progress! A few pages per night had not produced movement but I think I am past the snapshot of places, historic and time period situations, and the feelings of numerous personages. I sense the shape of a story solidifying. When it does, I will be able to enjoy this. It is outside my favourite reading and genres. However if a story interests any of us, any person will continue with zest and pleasure.

It seems my previous update gave last year's post. I'm happy for you to visit that too.

Here is my own fresh post, for my "Ethereal" reading theme. It will yield a great variety. https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2018/0...

I thought readers and friends might like a look at my personal page, participating in my own "Ethereal" reading challenge. Here is what I propose to read for my favourite spiritual, mystical, paranormal, magic theme! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2017/0...

My goal is to get in a good boost of reading today and settle into my usual bedtime reading early enough, that I don't fall asleep on only a few pages. There's good TV on "X-Files" night and "Star Trek Discovery" and "Oak Island" night! I am sure that if I get past the introductory phase, even literary wartime fiction will engage me in its story. I want this finished as a translated Canadian oeuvre within January.

This is the multiple language, multiple award-winning launch of Manitoba's own Gabrielle Roy's author's career. It is high time I read it, even though a heavy world war II poverty story is not my kind of literature. For challenge lovers, it fits my "Gentle Spectrums" group in three categories: Canadian, music, and history! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/gentle...

The sign-up pages of all four of my blog's reading themes ("challenges") have been made for 2018 and are ready for you to see! I hope you join me. The handy menu for all of their contents is right here. Yours Truly, Carolyn. https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/headqu...

One of my two most anticipated groups, "My Kind Of Mystery", is reading for sign-ups for 2018! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/mykind...
