THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: Do you plan a reading list while on vacation?

Since I had a mini vacation over the weekend I thought this question fit. It was literally just a few days 2 hours from home to see David Cook and Idina Menzel. Not a huge deal, but GREAT fun to me! I admit that I did more crochet than reading on this trip. That being said, there have been lots of trips where I just bring books, books and more books. I simply adore reading on vacation. You have time, you’re relaxed and it tends to be filled with nice long stretches of time to sit and dive into the world of the book. How about you guys?

Let us also take a moment of silence and remembrance for this day.

THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION:None sorry Happy Labor Day!

No musing this Monday sorry! I am actually on a little short vacation a few hours from home in a nice hotel. Saw a whole bunch of concerts and such this weekend. I hope everyone is having a fantastic Labor Day for those who celebrate and those who don’t a good day in general.

I just finished this one, but as my current book is out in my office and I admit I am being lazy and don’t want to go back out there, lol plus this is a good quote and book.

“Then again, she didn’t like small talk either, so she was glad he wasn’t commenting on the weather or the landscape. Life was too big and too short and too important to talk about the lack of rain or the latest gossip. She wanted to know how people felt about themselves and one another, whether they were happy or sad. She wanted to know what made them feel loved and what hurt them to the core. She wanted to know about their past, how they got where they were, and their relationships with their mothers and fathers and siblings. She wanted to know if she was the only mixed-up person in the world who felt completely and utterly alone.”

THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: Do you find yourself reading more or less as the school season starts?

I know not everyone has kids but there are a variety of reasons why you might change reading when the school year starts, I have a friend who just does more once the weather starts to cool down. Myself, I stay about even. I have been behind again this year but since I moved my nook to my office and hooked it to a speaker I have been able to listen more to books on my kindle so that is helping.

I just finished this book and while it reminded me some of Water for Elephants I really liked it.

THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: Do you steer away from heavy emotional books?

This came up when I was talking with a friend about what book I could read to keep my mind off the loss of my sweet Dutchy. I don’t usually stay away from the tear jerk-er books, in fact if an author can bring tears to my eyes that is an author I am going to read more of, because happy, sad even mad I like being moved by what I am reading. That being said I was staying away from anything heavier then a Garfield or Calvin & Hobbes as she handed me books. I know she was trying to help but oh so many books were rejected, not her fault of course. In the past I have read deeper novels for sure,Mercy & My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult come to mind as does Good Grief by Lolly Winston (considering reading it again in the future).

I digress, when I noticed what I was doing it got me to thinking and so I asked a few friends. Surprising to me several of them said they purposely didn’t read heavier books, they just wanted to stay away from them in general. I don’t think I make the choice consciously generally only sub consciously most of the time, but I could be wrong. It is something I feel I should look at more in depth at another time.

So what about you? Bring on the musing!

THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: What are your feelings on YA? Do you think it is just for young adults or do you think it’s cool full grown adults like it too.

On time this week but I won’t be answering the question myself. I am sorry for that, I just only have enough energy to come up with the question. Saturday my beloved darling cat Dutchy who I have had for 17 years passed away. Finding it hard to cope without her.

Welcome August! Wow are we really looking down heading into fall soon? 2017 seems to be flying by! I am still working on the re-read of Poldark.
