It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

    1. It is nice to expand our interests beyond cats- even though cats are still #1.

  3. 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.

    1. Same here- my pile is high yet I keep getting more books from the library and never get to my pile.

  4. 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!

  5. Those sound like some good books. Lots of good subjects. Hope you found some good books at that sale. Have a great Monday.

  6. Have fun at the book sale. I hope you find some treasures. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    1. Thank you, I found some good cat books today. Millie says thank you.

  7. 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.

    1. I like mysteries that surprise you. I shouldn’t go to book sales, but I can’t resist.

    1. 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.

    1. 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 🙂

    1. We wish we could read to you sweet Purrince. Millie says thank you and Phoebe sends her love and kisses. XO

  10. 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.

  11. 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!!!

    1. I wish you could come with us too 🙂 Millie is glad that BobbieSue likes his photo. XO

  12. 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

    1. Good idea with the vinegar and baking soda 🙂 Phoebe is not ready for a truce- yet. XO

  13. 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.

    1. Thank you XO And Sammy thanks you for the hugs and sends one to you. He is a cuddly guy.

  14. 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

  15. 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.

    1. You’re welcome, I hope it helps. I am so sorry about your son, I will pray for him.
