Incredibly, I am back to reading. In January of this year, I set a firm goal to not read a book until Book Two was published. Well, I met that goal in mid-September. And sometime in late Spring to early Summer, I changed the title from, “It’s Just Your Imagination! The ABCs to Facing Our Fears” to “Braver With Knowledge: The ABCs to Facing Our Fears.” It was a torturous but fun journey. Torturous because I wouldn’t let myself do any reading other than morning reflections. And fun because I was on a self-imposed deadline to publish by my momma’s birthday in early September. I was able to publish the e-book the day before, but it was another 10 days before I could load the paperback. I’m currently waiting on the LCCN (Library of Congress Number).

In the meantime, I’m happy to be reading again. My first book, in September, was a mystery. In October, my second book is a memoir. And for November, I plan to finish a book I started back in 2018 but never finished; I got only about halfway through before I had to set it down for a while. What a while it turned out to be!

Life is crazy, and my weekends are full, so I don’t expect to read more than the one book per month this year.

So, tell me, what are you reading?

I’ve so many books on hand to read that I dare not buy any new ones. Yet, there are so many I see that I want to get my hands on. Thinking about a Christmas gift? Now, is the time to consider gifting a book. Am I hinting at buying my book or sending me one of your choosing? Maybe both. Lol.

Thank you for dropping in.

Love & hugs,

Virg
