Reading Progress

I almost done with Light of my Heart, maybe about 30 pages or less.  That is the one thing about reading on a phone or Kindle, you do not notice how many pages are left, though I know I am about 92%  done.

As for the book it is excellent.  I recommend it for everybody.  Even though I knocked it for being a romance, I was wrong to do that.  It is different than other romances and probably all types of fiction books-even fantasy and Science Fiction have at least a little romance-even some of those horror books where everybody dies-there may be a romantic moment.  This book basically has a moral that in order to move on in life you need to be able to forgive yourself and not take the blame for everything bad that happens to you.  Enough said, I don't want to spoil it for you.

I am about halfway through Shelter Mountain and still like it.  While this book focuses on Paige and Preacher, there are side stories as well.  (Spoiler Alert).  There are two characters Lizzie and Rick, ages 14 and 16 who-in the last book became intimate.  Since he didn't use protection he was scared that he got her pregnant.  She had left town shortly afterwards to go back to live with her mother and she assured him one time when he called that she wasn't pregnant.  However, in this book she comes back to town to live with her aunt and she indeed is.  She had told him that she wasn't because she was afraid to tell him and was sure that he would hate her.  However, when he found out, he stood up to be a man and that he would take full responsibility for the baby.  Now Rick could have ran but he didn't.  He is a character you want to have your back.

For my next read, I am going to order the next dragonlance book, Dragons of Winter Night.  As soon as I finish Light of my Heart, I will make this my break time book.  After I finish Shelter Mountain, I am going to read the next two books in the Silver Hills Trilogy.  These will be the books I will read at home.

Its has been a while.

And guess what?  I am going to have to reread that last Dragonlance book.  I did read other books.  When I was halfway through again-go figure-a coworker lent me a couple of her books from a series.  I will write about it next weekend. Plus I am also planning to read every Star Wars book.  I think there are around 250 books.

Reading Book Series

Whenever I read a series, I try to read all of the books within a certain time frame.  That way when I get to the last book in the series, I will sort of remember what went on in the first books. One series I finished two years ago was The Left Behind Series by Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins.  There are something like 16 books in that series and I started reading them as they came out-the first book was published in 1995.  I had read all but the last four books in the series and ran into a bit of a financial slump and was several years before I was able to buy them.  However, since some time had passed, I decided to read the books from the beginning.  Some may think it is a waste of time re-reading a book.  But I had no qualms about it and found them just as enjoyable. I also did the same with the Harry Potter Series.  When I got The Deathly Hallows, I decided to read the other books again.  It took me about a year, since I usually have two to three books going on at the same time.

Progress of Dragons of Spring Dawning

Okay I am moving along fairly well with this book this (third) time around.  I am about to the part of where I stopped the second time.  Since, I like to have two books going at the same time, this is the book I read after I get home from work and like to read a chapter before I go to sleep.  Now yesterday, I could have read more chapters since I had a major battle with insomnia.  (Sometimes with working nights, I have a hard time falling asleep during the day.)  I should have just surrendered to that battle.  There are times where I might not get a chance to get a chapter in.  For example, I have a dinner to work at the American Legion next Thursday.  Then I have a couple of days of overtime.  But then on my days off, I can get several chapters in.  I usually try to read fifty pages on those days.  (Sighs:  at one time I used to read 300 pages a day.) There is another book that I read on my breaks at work.  However, I won't tell you what it is until my next post-which will proba
