Back in the Saddle

Who would have thought that relaunching a blog would be a whole new learning experience!!   After all a blog is old school...isn't it???  I am a firm believer that embracing that which is challenging can open up new brain cells...at least one new brain cell.  And if you are any thing like me a new brain cell is a good thing.  

I come from a family of readers...no matter how early i woke up my dad would be sitting on the couch in his bathrobe reading a book.  He was a big John Steinbeck fan as I grew up in the Salinas Valley.  And, my mother who was an immigrant  identified with the hard work that was part of his novels.  Anyhoo...all that to say that I am a passionate reader and not of any one genre.  I lean towards non fiction and love books that give me insight into what makes people tick.   Lately my reading has been all over the place!  

The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods was so enjoyable that I bought her other two books and dived right into The Story Collector.  These are a light read and are perfect for those moments when you need a break from reality...and lately...I don't know about you but I have been mimicking an Ostrich...or maybe a groundhog.  

                                            

The latest non fiction I started was the one pictured below...given to me by a family member.  This book written by a psychiatrist and his comedy writing daughter is intriguing.  I read the introduction and laughed out loud and immediately had to read the intro to G!  He doesn't really LOL but he had a big grin on his face!!  This is now my morning read with coffee and I do believe will start my day better than reading the news.

I hope you will come along on this journey with me and subscribe to the blog and if you have any current favorite reads please leave me a comment.  Thank you for stopping by!
