After a day of heavy rain we're enjoying a break in the weather. 9C with some clouds but no rain in the immediate forecast.
I often read more than one book at a time. Here are my current choices. A Year in Nature is an almanac which I've begun reading for the month of November ( I just picked up this book from the library yesterday)..I'll see how far I get in the 3 weeks I'll have it ( or I may renew it then). The author is Marty Crump. Shadow of the Solstice is a mystery, and The West Country is a Garden ( my own book) is full of beautiful paintings of wildflowers and sketches of buildings and places that she has traveled to in the UK. It's a wonderful book that I treasure.
We finished another puzzle. We each work on half and as you can see once we were done we didn't bother actually connecting the two halves. It was a great puzzle to work on with lots and lots of detail.
That's all for today. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Thanks for coming by.
What a fine winter-puzzle! It is not wrong to read two books in one time! I do the same, but very very slowly, just a few sentences during a day because of my work with the sheep in this more and more dark time in the year.
ReplyDeleteI am usually one book at a time. We are in for some rain and then some cold weather next week. There has been snow further north of us.

You are brilliant to read a couple of books at once…good for you! Puzzles are so fun and entertaining, especially if the weather outside is frightful. That’s a most lovely wish, so dear! I wish many blessings to you and yours and happy weekend, Virginia
ReplyDeleteI read only non fiction, and one book at a time. Your puzzle is beautiful and looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote at the end. I actually received an autumn apron for my birthday with that same quote on it. Your books sound so interesting...except for the mystery. If it's scary I'm not a fan. :) Have a great weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe cover of the Solstice book, and the title, appeal to me -- so maybe I should look into it!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost puzzle time at our house. We wait till the first snow fall. :). Happy reading. I usually have a couple books going at the same time too.
ReplyDeleteOne book at a time for me, but I do spend quite a bit of time reading the newspaper each day, and blogs, of course.
ReplyDeleteI think I will get out a puzzle this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteLove your puzzle and your books look great. Hope you have a good weekend! diane in northern wis
ReplyDeleteThat's a novel way of approaching a puzzle!
ReplyDeleteYour book selections all appeal to me, as does the puzzle. I do read more than one book at once, too. Some books are meant for dipping in and out of.
ReplyDeleteI rarely read more than 1 book at a time; but did recently because I couldn't get into book #1, and Book #2 showed up available in my Libby app. So, stop 1 and read 2, then went to one still not into and stopped again when book 3 was available. Very colorful puzzle, but I'm curious why didn't you hook it together to see the whole picture? I have a good friend who's really into puzzles and she and a friend or her sister will all work on the whole thing. Each on a side, then switching periodically because people with new eyes see pieces perhaps missed earlier. Love your saying about blessings out numbering the fall leaves. I mowed the other day in part to mow and in part to mulch the leaves, and looking out now; you can't tell I had it all cleaned up. So guess it will need to be done again, but not today. I've been visiting everyone on my blog list in order to catch up; as I've been away from blogging for too many months. It feels to get back into it.
ReplyDeleteI can only read one book at a time ...
ReplyDeleteIt's been a beautiful Autumn day in my part of the world today, so not too much reading done, instead it was nice to enjoy a colourful walk out and about.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
All the best Jan
I like your puzzle! I don't have good patience with them.
ReplyDeleteI will go looking for The West Country's is a Garden. If you love it, I know I will. We are looking for our first freeze tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteI've bought two books lately but just can never seem to find the time to read them...oh well.
ReplyDeleteCute puzzle!

I've got a puzzle sitting out right now that is Peanuts themed - so cute. I am almost done with "Between Two Kingdoms" which I highly recommend and then I need to get started on the next book club read. Joining two book clubs has really kept me on my toes with reading time. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletePuzzles are so much fun and truly make me thing of cozy winter days. That's the only time I think of doing them :) I just finished a very sweet book called "Tuesday's Socks by Alison Ragsdale and I'm now reading The Silver Ladies of Penny Lane by Dee MacDonald. They are both very feel good books.
ReplyDeleteI'm now trying to read one book at a time. 'cause I get confused otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI often have a book on audio and a regular hard copy book going at the same time. I can listen to the audio while I knit/crochet.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

The books sounds interesting. My daughter also reads multiple books at a time...I can't do that. The puzzle is a nice one. You guys worked it up quickly.
ReplyDeleteAll those books interest me. I think i will order them soon. Thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI just finished the first book I've read in several months. I kept starting them and getting quickly bored, but probably my mind was just too busy with other things to concentrate.
Puzzles. I love them, but I am so obsessive about them that I will sit up til morning doing one! So can't have them in the house, unfortunately.
