Happy Friday everybody!
What a week… talk about a Mercury Retrograde from hell!!!
The best thing that did however happen for me this week is that I picked up reading again!
I know, as a writer shouldn’t I be a reader as well?
Yeah, I should be.
But life happened the past few years and all things, and I mean ALL things were kinda upended.
But, now I’m getting back on the reading wagon.
So what am I reading right now? Hold on to your hat; I never read only one book at a time… Here goes
Progress: 42 of 298 pages
The author explained thus far his own story and then how he came to be where he is at the moment when he wrote this book.
There’s many habits I’ve wanted to embed into my life over the years, but it always seems to be sidetracked by something that seems to be out of my control.
What the author is proposing is that our beliefs play a much bigger role in even something as simple as developing habits. Our success or failure therefore sits in what we believe, mostly about ourselves and then everything that affects us.
This definitely resonates with me.

I read these books aloud to my boys when they were very young and we all loved it. Now I just want to read it for some light and fantastical relaxation. After reading a chapter of a heavy instructional book, this is a nice breather.
At this point in the book Polly is poof gone, Digory is seeing what a foul man Uncle Arthur is and is going after his friend.

A few years ago I started with therapy. After so many years, I still struggled with all sorts of challenges. So I’ve decided to DIY this as well.
One of the things causing so many issues for me is a severely flawed belief system. Enter this book…

You’ve gotta love a good Pooh story! It’s hard to believe that the story of Pooh doesn’t consist of hundred’s of books.
This little book consist of short chapters full of a day in the life of Pooh and friends. Love it.
Until now, Eeyore received a new house and Tigger was introduced.

I bought this book with it’s predecessor Essentialism. Hubby took that one so I decided to read this one.
It’s safe to say that ones life should be effortless. This far in the book, the author explained how he realised that we should live effortless lives but also what it looks like. We all have those moments, but as with life, an effortless life is a deliberate creation and I’m hoping to learn that from this book.

Did you love the movie Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children?
I did too. This little book is a bundle of short stories regarding the many many legends of peculiars through the ages. [wink-wink]
It’s a bit on the ornery side but still a fun read.

And because I’m a writer, a book on the craft is at any given time in my periphery.
This book in its narrative form teaches at present how to arrange words in such a way that you as the reader will love the story.

Another craft book.
This book specifically teaches the what, who, where, how, why and why not.
I’ve learned about the goal (what) of the character as well as the motivation (why / why not).

This book is also available in pdf here. Consume it in audio by Brian Scott on YouTube if you prefer.
Each and every one of us create our own reality. Mine sucks most days but I’m actively working toward changing that.
The author of this book taught extensively on this subject. The foundation of creating ones reality is the faith that goes hand in hand with the asking or prayer.
Can you see the theme in my life at present? Beliefs and faith. Let me tell you, it’s been a tough time for me, but what doesn’t kill you, make you stronger, right?
In closing…
What are you reading?
Have you read any of these books?
Do you read multiple books at the same time?
When do you read?
Do you read children’s books as an adult?
Until next time, thank you for reading.
