I’m late! Again! I know. The sad truth is that I’m
losing track of my days. One minute, it’s Sunday morning, the next, it’s
already Thursday…and I didn’t write my post like I was supposed to.
I’m blaming it on the changes we’re all going
through (because, you know, it can't be my own mind) - the sheltering in place (even though a lot of places in Arizona are
open now, I’m still staying home as much as possible and wearing a mask when I
do go out to the grocery), the working from home (for those of us lucky enough
to be able to do that), and the general state of affairs outside in the real
world.
I’m so thankful there are books…romances
with that happily ever after we all crave. If it wasn’t for that, I’d probably
go stark raving mad! I’m also thankful for my TBR pile.
I cleaned out my bookcase (well, I live
in Arizona …dust
is a given no matter how often you clean) and found…a bunch of books I had put
there, but HADN’T read yet! It was like winning the lottery! Really! (We’re not
going to talk about my Kindle…yes, I have books on there I haven’t read yet,
too!)
So what did I find? Oh my gosh! A
treasure trove of historical romances, which is my preferred read, a bunch of
contemporary that I can wait to delve into, and a few non-romances. Sarah
MacLean. Jodi Thomas. Erin Quinn. Victoria Alexander. Lisa Kleypas. Lisa
Jackson. Janet Evanovich.
Like I said, a treasure trove! Of
course, as I took them all off the shelf and dusted them off, I had to ask
myself…where did I get these? I don’t remember buying them (or did I and I just
conveniently forgot? Some of them are brand new….the spines haven’t even been
cracked yet). Were they given to me by friends who know how much I like to
read? Acquaintances cleaning out their own shelves? Doesn’t matter where I got
them…I have them so…I’m going to find some time, sit down with a cup of coffee
and crack open one of those books. My only question is: which one to start
with?
Until
next time, remember to spread kindness wherever you go. Stay safe, stay well.
