I am trying to get back to reading from the books again.
I wander off easily when I try to read things on a digital screen.
Before I know, I would end up on some sale on Amazon or On the loop watching DIY videos.
So, for some time now I have been taking some time away from my gadgets and so far managed to complete three books from my reading list.
I would love to find out books you are reading, tell me about them!
Here are my books for reading in the pic, I managed to finish three of them so far..

You have been busy with your reading. I am currently reading` Someone like me ' by M.R.Carey. Why not write reviews about the books you have read in the discussions on myLot.

@ananthprsaddr It is a bit weird so far, and apparently there is a twist in the story but I have not got that far yet.

Wow! There's a lot! I can't remember them all. I did read a book about architecture. How to read buildings and tell what era they were from. Now I'm reading a book called Torridon which is about a place in Scotland.

@ananthprsaddr It's very hilly and has lots of wildlife. Many people have had to be rescued when they got in trouble hill climbing.

It's gardening time so I haven't read as many books as I usually do, so my total for the year so far is only 88. Currently reading How to Stop Time by Matt Haig.

@ananthprsaddr So far, it's holding my interest, but I'm only about a third of the way through.

I prefer reading actual books to digital ones. A much better experience. Haven't read much this year but getting back into it. The last book I read was called "The Shadow Box" by Luanne Rice. She is one of my favorite authors.

that's a good thing to do
i'm usually focused on studying and doing other projects and assignments for college, so i don't read much - except professional literature. i still managed to read some classics.
i'm finally done with my exams and i'm reading Wuthering Heights by Emiliy Bronte. my friend told me about this book and i decided to give it a try.
what are you currently reading?

I guess I should keep a list, but I read for my own pleasure and what I want to read, when I want to read. I don't work. Reading is something I've always loved. Sometimes I sign up and take a class or two when there is something interesting to take, so then there is school books or online reading to do. Reading keeps us sharp.

I keep track of my books, but don't pay much attention to how many I've read. Currently I'm reading a book that I'm proofreading for a client, and for fun/review, I'm reading "The Forever King" by Ben Galley. He's an independent author, and a friend of mine, who write wonderful fantasy books! I don't get to much non-fiction these days, but I enjoy every book I read!

I don't keep track of the books I've read. I read on a Kindle Reader or on the Kindle app on my phone. (I don't have room in the house for the books I own, so have switched to reading ebooks. They take up no room and I always have them with me.) The Kindle app on my phone says I've read 65 ebooks so far this year.
I offered the free ebook site I use to others on myLot last year. The site is b-ok.cc . You can download five free ebooks a day from the site or, if you give them your email address, you can download ten free ebooks a day. It's a good site.
