Currently, I am binging on Maeve Binchy novels. Have just finished The Return Journey. Also have Echoes, The Copper Beech, and The Lilac Bus.
How you do your work is a portrait of yourself.

Re: What Are You Reading This Year? 2013
Or not reading! Great to see what makes others stop reading various books. I do not have a book going at the moment one is on request from the library and should be in this week how ever. How To Keep A Naturalists Notebook By Susan Leigh Tomlinson.

I'm currently re-reading "Eat That Frog!" by Brian Tracy. It's about time management, goals, not procrastinating, breaking big jobs down into small steps, etc.. Will be useful for work.

I finished the re-read of the book "Eat That Frog!" and ordered a Dfriend's book, just published and released. It's called "Perfect Victim," by Jan Christensen. I believe it's about a female P. I. and she solves a mystery in the book. Jan's written mystery books and stories for years. She also has a blog, is on Twitter and Facebook. She's a great helpful and lovely person.

I'm about to start Inferno by Dan Brown.
This will make it the 66th this year so far. I'm a pretty fast reader.

I don't know why I did this. 
Oh, yes, I DO know! 
I saw commercials for Jane Austen on TV last night. I went adn downloaded for free "Sense & Sensibility," and "Pride & Prejudice" and it's a diary form, it's over 500 pages long, but looks real good!

Back from the library got some FamilyFun magazines & found this book I checked it out. Horse Soldiers By Doug Stanton / This book is excellent! I'm really enjoying it. [I hope it becomes a movie.]
The cover said the extraordinary story of a band of U.S. soldiers who rode to victory in Afghanistan.

I bought Ann Swann's Nook book called "Stutter Creek." She's an award-winning author, the book's hard to put down and yesterday I read 5 chapters on it. She's an acquaintance from another group. Very nice and sweet lady, a good author, too. I highly recommend her books. She's written for YA before, they're at Amazon and Barnes 'n' Noble.

I read tons. I am over at Goodreads with all my book related posts. I am currently reading Death Under the Dryer by Simon Brett, a cozy mystery. I read widely, across many genres, but my favorites are mysteries of any kind.
