That's a good distraction!

It took me some time to think and focus on that one thing!

I should get started on those graphic novels that and recommended.

It wasn't my favorite, but yes it was good.

-
Finished The Raft because a student was reading it so we read together.
-
I need to find one to start with!
-
-
-
I am on a graphic novel kick! LOL
-
History books and romantic dramas.
-
Best reason to read a book!
-
Have you read Me Before You and After You?
-
I wasnt able to make a list, but I have some thoughts now!
-
I think I have to be a more courageous reader and step out of my comfort zone a bit more!
-
This looks amazing! I'm going to need to learn how to do it!!
-
Decided to tackle Piktochart to create my 100 list, still a work in progress, but I've learned a lot. Can I say I'm not done-yet?
-
Good evening, ! I'm currently reading, The Things We Wish Were True.
-
suggested it and I was determined! I tried different sites but finally got this one!
-
I need to get back to reading more professional texts
-
-
-
Cannot wait to start them. Might be my bedtime read.
-
I also finished eleven recommended by
-
That happens to me too! I get hooked on a theme or author or style and then I dive in!
-
the answer is audiobooks!
-
My TBR pile has turned into a TRB book shelf! I need to work on clearing books before buying new ones.
-
You can get tons of suggestions here! :)
-
Thanks! I am going to explore more for sure!
-
I love your "I would read more if..." section. If only there were more time!
-
If combine history & romantic drama, there's strong historical romance. Have you read Poldark or Outlander?
-
Maeve Binchy and Liana Moriarty are good. Loved everything I've read by them.
-
-
I'm hoping to book talk A Long Walk to Water next as a connection!!
-
I need to explore these more!
-
-
It can be an exciting adventure to switch it up
-
Did anyone find any patterns in their habits?
-
-
Good evening, ! I am currently reading, Who We Were Before.
-
-
I just cleared mine. My local library was overjoyed to get so many books!
-
Can you please explain the challenge to me? :)
-
-
Check out JoJo Moyes. She is AMAZING. Loved The Girl You Left Behind!
-
I have some strong opinions of likes and dislikes which distracts me from 'trying' some genres.
-
My 7th graders ADORED it!
-
Also love, Liane Moriarty. I just read, Truly, Madly, Guilty. That was good.
-
(Who did not get hers finished)
-
Definitely! But I pass on some when I think they a typical genre - I think I'm missing out on some good ones!
-
I listen via . Free with a library card.
-
Don't glom much now; I like variety these days. This also may be due to reading multiple books at once https://t.co/F5FlyD3noZ
-
-
Did anyone find any patterns in their habits?
-
If I were a millionaire too! That would solve some of the issues!
-
really liked that book. Just finished it.
-
I only read Me Before You so far....
-
I realize that in order to make a dent in my TBR pile I need to read more than I currently do and stop buying new books each week!
-
-
Truly, Madly, Guilty is next on my list!
-
Challenge was to list 100 things about yourself as a reader.
-
Has anyone read, Mayday? It was a great YA book.
-
I have learned to trust my PLN and read books I would never have considered!
-
After You is the sequel. Just finished it.
-
The Girl You Left Behind was better, IMO. Got me on a crazy historical fiction kick.
-
I would love my Ss to do that!!!!!
-
, just downloaded from The Things We Wish Were True! Looks to be a good read!
-
That's okay - you pushed me to do it!! I might not have tried otherwise!
-
I try to have paper, ebook, and audio versions on the go so I am never without a book.

Husband's Secret was very good too!

I just read that a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful story. Hope you like it.

I've been choosing from the many book recommendations from my Twitter friends
