They are all really great books! What are you reading right now?
I say “lunch break” because nachos and Reese’s peanut butter candy doesn’t really count as lunch….but, hey.
This was a great issue of The Walking Dead! I love reading them….wish they could write/draw/publish them faster! Ah well, at least I have the show from October to December and February to May. 🙂
Reading has been a big part of my life recently. I’ve always loved to read, but to grow my photography business, I started to read more. More on business, on marketing, on photography itself, everything really. I thought you might be interested in what’s in my queue this week.
the dead & the gone – Susan Beth Pfeffer – This is the second in the “series.” I finished this yesterday and was all ready to read the next book I had….but BLAST! I had checked out the 4th, not the 3rd. Ah well. This series is about the moon getting hit by a meteor and what happens afterwards. It has been gripping and believable. Enough that I think about our food levels every time I look in the cabinet. Excellent piece of fiction.
Stephen King On Writing – I’ve talked about writing a book a few times on here, well, I’m finally starting to move forward with that. I have a fiction and a non-fiction idea….and ever since I “allowed” my brain to think about writing, the ideas have been flowing. So it may be more than just the two. 🙂
The Walking Dead Vol. 20 – Because, well, zombies. 🙂 But seriously, the next volume is being shipped to my library now and I like to catch up before the new one. Eeeep!
The 4-Hour Work Week – Timothy Ferriss – This book has been on my radar for a while. I’m not sure why I waited so long to start it. It’s been life changing (you’ve read a few posts about this already) and challenging. It has questioned decisions I’ve made about business and life but it has also confirmed I’m doing a lot right. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
The Writer’s Digest Guide to Science Fiction & Fantasy The fiction book I’m toying with is a science fiction, so this random find at the library is perfect!
Think Big – Ben Carson – Another random find at the library. It’s been encouraging so far! Always cool to hear how someone super successful made it.
The Nighttime Novelist – Random find at the library and I think my best find so far. I read the first 20 pages yesterday and it already has me thinking about my story in a lot of new ways.
What are you reading right now and why?
Last week, Bret and my mom set up a gazebo on the deck! It’s perfect for rainy days, evenings and hot days! I’ve spent many hours out there already. Today I did a little writing! I can’t wait to see what comes of this new spot!
I’ve been doing a lot of running around the past few days as well as a lot of computer work. I’ve been going a little stir crazy every time I sit down in front of the computer, so today I’m taking a break from the indoors and the computer screen and reading outside!
One of the things I like to do is read a chapter in each book I’m currently working on, including some fiction. This way, it’s almost a “treat/break” when I get to the fiction. Though, I absolutely LOVE non-fiction business book too….so the whole time is a “treat/break.” 🙂
I picked up a book I had on hold at the library today and did some wandering to find some more books. I am OVER THE MOON about my find! Even though it’s the second in the series and I’ll have to wait to get the first one to read it, I’m so stoked!
Marvel Zombies! AH! Two of my geek loves! There’s like 8 different graphic novels at the library in this series. One of which is A Zombie Christmas Carol. I cannot believe I didn’t know this existed!
