Reading and Writing

I have learned that it is much easier to read 100 books in a year than it is to write 50,000 words in a month. The Diary of an Invisible Woman hit about 4,000 words and then was lost in a storm of things to do and other excuses. Maybe next November I will try again. At the rate I am going, it will take ten years to write this thing.

On the bright side, I just finished reading my 97th book and am heading into the home stretch. I have enjoyed so many of the books I read this year and even loved a few. Since I cannot remember what I had for breakfast, it is especiallly nice to have the list to remind me of my reading.

Wishing everyone the happiest of Thanksgivings, filled with turkey and family and friends and, of course, a few stolen minutes to read a good book!

Bookmama, I just stumbled upon your blog. I wish you could read my book Timekeeper before the end of the year so it will be one of a hundred. Please visit my blog and read the first three chapters. I'll send you a review copy if you like what you read. Best, John
