I’m referring to the dozens, nay, scores of books on my Kindle.
To read: Just a tiny sampling!
It seems that all the years I devoted to Facebook and other social media, I was ignoring the reading material piling up on my Kindle Fire tablet. I say “piling up” because, well, I was a compulsive hunter-gatherer of books.
Let’s face it – there are only so many hours in a day. It was amazing how the time could go, as I flew down the rabbit hole while scanning Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WordPress blogs and Quora, posting, commenting, questioning, answering, not to mention: Email! Oh my goodness, that’s another thing I was addicted to – daily newsletters from major newspapers and other news sources, and that obsession really ramped up during the US election, impeachment, insurrection (!) etc.
But I bit the bullet and put myself “on vacation” from social media, and unencumbered myself from most newsletters.
And now: books! I’ve finished the glorious “25 Great Sentences and How They Got That Way” by my fellow blogger, Geraldine Woods. Now I’ve started “The Perfect Sister” by Sheryl Browne. Only a few hundred left to go! I’ll be able to read them all if I live to be as old as Abraham’s wife, Sarah (127 yrs.)! But will I live that long? Only time will tell! 😁
Thanks so much for your kind words about my book, Ellie!

If you are reading that must mean your eye is better! (You are now a see captain instead of a pirate.) Now excuse me as I have over 500 emails to read!

It is a relief to get back into reading, isn’t it? I’ve been reading more lately and plan to keep it up as I also have so many books piled up on my kindle!
