What I Read on My Vacation(s)

It's been a while since I did a post on what I read on vacation.  Last summer we took a busy sightseeing trip to London instead of our usual beach vacation, so there was not much reading done!  And while we took a (not usual for us) December vacation, it was right at the end of the year, so I ended up working on my post on my Top 10 favorite books of 2019 rather than writing up what I read on that vacation.  But now that I just came back from another vacation during President's week, thought it was time to catch everyone up on my vacation reading!

Not a bad view for reading

Finding Time to Read in a Busy World

I get asked a lot about when I read and how I find the time to read.  The honest answer is that pretty much whenever I have a spare minute, I read!  I read while I eat breakfast; if I can I read for a few minutes after I shower before I get dressed; I read while sitting in the car waiting for my kids to come out of school; I read while my kids do homework; I read before bed - the list never ends. My house is kind of a mess, and any non-critical item on my to-do list tends to languish, because, well, I'd rather read!  Obviously it helps that I'm currently a stay at home mom with older kids, but even when I was a lawyer working full time, or a part-time working mom with little kids, I still always made the time to read when I could because, well, I love to read!  And of course it helps that I'm a pretty fast reader.  But nonetheless, if you're looking to read more, I definitely have some suggestions to help you out!
