There is never a moment I don't have a book with me for those emergency, I am stuck waiting in the car, a waiting room or pooping. I really have books everywhere one in the car, the bedroom, the bathroom and 3 audiobooks on my phone (whenever I have my phone from Blaine).
I just finished my car book and had to move my bedroom book to the car this is very sad because now I play word crack on my phone while listening to my audiobook until my phone dies at night. I know such and exciting life right?
When I read I have the ability to go into what I am reading, I am there, seeing, smelling and doing what they are. Good luck getting my attention away from the book. Audiobooks don't do the same for me, my mind wanders too much when I listen to audiobooks unless I am driving and I don't take it all in.
My car book that I just finished (only took 2 days) was called
Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
First though within the first few pages of reading this book was WHAT THE HELL AM I READING! as I went along and kept reading, so much of what she had written touched my soul. I seen myself in her behaviours and actions.
My bedroom book that is now my car book requires a high lighter because I am not just reading this book for pleasure. I am reading to better understand and help my son who has among other things SPD. The out-of-sync child by Carol Kranowitz. I am about half way through and learning so much, my blue high lighter is getting a good work out.
The bathroom book, you know the one no one has lol, well mine is
The Patrol by Ryan Flavelle, it is a Canadian book by a Canadian author. So far I have only read a few pages and I taken in by the way this author writes and creates a visual of his surroundings.
Audiobooks, well I have a few on the go for that about 3 I think.
The myth of the spoiled child by Alfie Kohn, I love this author and this book!!! I can't wait to read more by him. I have started and restarted this book more than once. I need to get my son his own phone so I can go back to listening to my audiobooks while I drive instead of the CBC.
Mother who can't love by Susan Forward, I have a habit of putting this book on while I am cleaning and then end up leaving the room and forgetting it is on, maybe that is a sign that I am not ready for this book, YET!
Ignite the Fire by Jonathan Goodman I find this book is one that I need in hard copy and to have my high lighter handy. Not so much one I can just listen and take in the information
Well now I am in search of another car book, any good reads?
