Reading Challenge

 I have been having problems with blogger ever since they “ improved” things.  I took down all my reading lists, which I regret, and have just now managed to put up this years.  I sort of rely on these lists to remind me what I have read.  I suppose I am going to have to resort to pen and paper.  Sigh.

This year, as in the past couple, there will be books listed that are clearly for children.  This is because I am facilitating Caroline’s remote learning and we are doing a lot of supplementary reading.  She has been having lots of  technology problems so instead of relying on the online info we are looking at we are obtaining supplemental materials.  One of the books is. Sacagewa, the story of the young Native American that was instrumental in the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Another is Fly Away Home that was read for ELA.  There are two more that I have to get the exact title off the book which is at her house.  Next week we will be learning  about immigration so more reading.  I will add those books when we are done.

The other two books are the last two in the Coming Back to Cornwall series.  I have now finished the series and have to say I would recommend it to everybody.  It is such a quiet peaceful read but certainly not boring or without conflict.  After reading all these books, I feel like the characters are real and I know them well.  It just flowed beautifully.

I have now started on the 14th book of the Made in Savannah series .  I  have read the entire series as well except for the last two and it is a great little cozy mystery series.  It is full of colorful characters and comedic relief.  I started reading this after falling in love  with Savannah.  It is very enjoyable and I recommend.

I am always looking for good reads! I don't like anything upsetting, which is a big change from when I was younger and had more "fight" in me. Now, I just want peace! Glad you were able to repost your reading list. Blogger is very different than it was when I was last blogging.

Hi, Holly, try the Coming Back To Cornwall series. It is lovely. Nobody dies, no gore, no x rated sex, just a really nice story.

You're an excellent reader! I'm struggling still to get through my books, but I will do my best with my 2021 reading challenge. I'm still in the middle of "The Woman in White." Those cozy mysteries sound so good!

What to Do While Waiting

 Yes, once again, I am waiting — just biding my time until my surgery appointment on  Wednesday.  Am I nervous — maybe a little — do I still...
