I really enjoyed reading it as I finally get the chance to declutter our closets ( and it’s inspired buying more toys off local buy sell pages – I’ve convinced my kids it’s better for the environment) And funny enough, I was reading a library copy of my kindle when I found a pristine hardcover copy in a free library box in the neighborhood park. Promptly passed it on to my dad who is also loving it!

Cheers to you!!

Maybe it’s time for a post showing us screenshots of exactly HOW you are making time for reading, despite having a baby??
(I’m a HUGE reader myself, but I don’t have kids. I can’t help but think though that anyone who says they don’t have time really mean they just don’t prioritize it–which is fine! But no one wants to admit they don’t prioritize reading.)

I am kind of impressed that you have the attention span to read stuff about lakes (while having a baby), because that honestly does not sound like a cliffhanger.
This post reminds me that I meant to read Rules for Visiting and then forgot to buy it- I still want to read it.

I have been listening to books while walking – and having something i want to listen to makes me motivated to walk when I don’t want to – and I gave no patience for searching for leisure reading I will like. Much better to take suggestions from others!

I also recently enjoyed Rules for Visiting by Jessica Frances Kane. Now I’ll add the Jenna Bush one to my list.

I read “The American Wife” (story inspired by Laura Bush) this summer and really enjoyed it! It would be an excellent read during an election season.
