Hi everyone!We are participating in Book Date’s It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? blog hop. I have been reading a lot and I hope to be reading even more after today. My Mom and I are going to a big book sale that we go to every year, it is almost 2 hours away, but so worth it ( 120,000 books). Plus it is half price day.
I just finished Changing Normal: How I Helped My Husband Beat Cancer by Mariliu Henner. I enjoy reading about how people overcome diseases with a combination of regular medicine, healthy eating and supplements as well as a positive attitude.
I also just completed an older book ( published in 1943) called The Little Locksmith by Katharine Butler Hathaway. When the author was 5, she was afflicted with spinal tuberculosis causing her to have to be in bed strapped to a board for 10 years. Unfortunately, after all that torture, she still ends up with a hunched back. She does eventually manage to live alone in a house in Maine and get married. Her story and attitude are amazing.
I am reading Listful Thinking Using Lists to be More Productive, Highly Successful and Less Stressed by Paula Rizzo. I hope it works.
We are also joining Comedy Plus for Awww……Mondays. Here is Millie, he fits so he sits.
LOVE the picture of Millie in his box. I just started The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan, but I’ll have to check out Listful Thinking … I need to work on time management!
I like Amy Tan, I will have to look into that one.
You read some really interesting non-cat books! My human reads a lot of biographies of silent and early sound movie stars, true crime murder stuff, and books about publishing. She has kind of dark interests, publishing and cats aside!
It is nice to expand our interests beyond cats- even though cats are still #1.
Millie looks like a sweetheart!
Thanks for sharing what you’ve been reading. While i have a to-be-read pile a mile high, i’m ever the optimist and don’t mind if it grows a bit more.
Same here- my pile is high yet I keep getting more books from the library and never get to my pile.
I haven’t read any of those books, but they seem great. I also love to read books based on true stories (particularly if they include pets).
THose are my favorites too like Oscar, Dewey, etc.
That big book sale sounds like heaven. I hope you find lots more wonderful books like the ones you mentioned here! And, Phoebe, that is such a cute picture of you in that box! Purrs!
Thank you, this book sale is one of the highlights of my year 🙂
Those sound like some good books. Lots of good subjects. Hope you found some good books at that sale. Have a great Monday.
Thanks, I did get some good cat ones today.
Have fun at the book sale. I hope you find some treasures. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
Thank you for visiting.
Sounds like an awesome book sale. Hope you find lots of great books to read! Adorable picture of Millie, too!
Thank you, I found some good cat books today. Millie says thank you.
I’m just starting Private Paris.
Awww on Millie. When you fit you sit for sure.
Have a purrfect Awww Monday. ☺
Millie says thank you. Hope you had a nice Awwww….Monday 🙂
I cannot go to anymore used book sales, because I buy too many and I’ve already got TONS of books! I’m reading Sue Grafton’s “S is for Silence”; I’ve been reading her entire series in a row. Thank goodness the local library has them ALL! Just finished Harlan Coben’s “The Stranger” on CD in my car; I had NO IDEA where that mystery was going…good surprise ending.
I like mysteries that surprise you. I shouldn’t go to book sales, but I can’t resist.
Interesting reading! We are reading the thermometer and it’s dang hot!
I agree- way too hot.
Those books sound very interesting and inspirational.
Love the photo of Millie 🙂
I recommend them all. Millie says thank you 🙂
Good luck with your sale! Xander’s ebooks are 1/2 price – with coupon – this month at Smashwords, too ( https://foguth.wordpress.com/2016/07/05/half-off-ale/ )
As per what I’m reading, I just finished Kate Fennell’s 251 Thing to do in Tofino If you plan a trip to the Vancouver, BC, Canada area, this could be highly useful.
I’ve just begun reading Apprentice Cat by Virginia Ripple.
I am not planning a trip to Vancouver, but I bet it would be a nice place to visit. Apprentice Cat sounds good- anything with a cat usually is.
Millie looks great in the box!
Millie says thank you.
Interesting choices. I’d love the read something other than a cat book! A fun beach read or thriller maybe.
I prefer cat books, but I like memoirs and self-help a lot too. I hope you get to read a beach read-at the beach 🙂
Enjoying “How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you”
That is a good book. And yes, they are planning to kill us 🙂

We wish we could read to you sweet Purrince. Millie says thank you and Phoebe sends her love and kisses. XO
Such reading and sharing of it reminds me of how fortunate we are in life, and how admirable those who are afflicted with horrible diseases can be. Inspiring.
We are very fortunate, I feel the same way when I read these books.
Wow! we want to go to that book sale with you!! Our library used to have giant booksales like that one, but no more (bummer), BobbieSue says thank you very much for Millie in the box!!! It’s a wonderful photo!!!
I wish you could come with us too 🙂 Millie is glad that BobbieSue likes his photo. XO
That book sale sounds amazing! Hope you come home with loads of great stuff 🙂
You would have loved it for the mysteries. 🙂
The mom needs to get on her Kindle again and start reading!
Good idea 🙂
Well since we’re not readin’ anythin’ today, we’re reply to everythin’ else. Glad Sammy be doin’ good. As fur those clothes, a bit of vinegar and bakin’ soda will freshen ’em right up. Our mommy gets furgetful too. Now Phoebe, ya’ll were ‘posed to call a truce. MOL
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Good idea with the vinegar and baking soda 🙂 Phoebe is not ready for a truce- yet. XO
Well, TBT was re-reading one of those books that were made years ago by cat bloggers. He does that when we are all on the bed before sleeping for the night. Our favorite was one starring Skeeter as a detective. It is good they are short, cuz we fall asleep if TBT talks for too long.
That sounds like a good book.
You do read some interesting books. Thank you for sharing. Hugs for Sammy.
Thank you XO And Sammy thanks you for the hugs and sends one to you. He is a cuddly guy.
Gosh, I wish I could say I’m reading, but haven’t had much time to lately. I have a big pile next to my bed if that counts.
I hope you can read soon.
Millie fits purrrrrrfectly in that shoebox. They actually are one of my favorite boxes as they are snug and sturdy! Reading? Mom has no time to read she says – she’s running after me all day long……I’m rather demanding these days!
Love, Sammy
Maybe you could snuggle with your Mom and let her read. 🙂
thanks for the tip on the book Changing Normal: How I Helped My Husband Beat Cancer. Our library has it and I need to read it for my son who is quite ill.
You’re welcome, I hope it helps. I am so sorry about your son, I will pray for him.
