PROMPT January 4th What books and/or movies are on your list to read/watch this year? What are your “go to” genres? Ah! The New Year's Book List. Seems like every January we make lists of books to read just like we make resolutions. Now this seems like a great idea, but I wonder how many of those books we actually read. I wonder if we treat our book list like we treat our resolutions. Do we give up 3 weeks in and move on to something else? Do we manage for a month or two and then slowly abandon the goal? After a few months do we even know where the list is? I wonder... I'm one of those people that keeps a very short list. VERY short. I think it's because I have "Shiny Object Syndrome". For me, books are the same as shiny objects...beautiful new covers, exiting plots, reliable business advice, new methods, new interests. I have the tendency to put a book down if it doesn't hold my interest and then move on to the next one. Good or bad, I can't help it. It's just who I am. And that's why the list is very short. Like new year's resolutions I can't stick to list for very long. There's just too much good stuff out there! So, what's currently on my very short list? 1. 9 Perfect Strangers by Lianne Moriarty 2. Conscious Leadership by Jim Dethmer 3. Stories That Stick by Kendra Hall 4. Whatever mystery I can find by Kathy Reichs Can you tell I love mysteries? That's the one thing that's never changed about me. My first mystery was Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective. Now that's going way way back! And then I moved on to Agatha Christie. Of course, who doesn't like Agatha Christie? Ten Little Indians remains my favorite. And lately, it appears Kathy Reichs is my favorite. Now I don't have a lack of books in the house to read. And of course I have my trusty Kindle app to use. But whenever I feel the need for "a good book and a cup of tea" I tend to turn to mystery. Especially on a rainy, cold day. With a blanket. And my cat curled up in my lap. And my dog snoring next to me. And an afternoon of free time. Yep, that's the best for me. |
