My husband works from home so I use the headphones or earbuds so as not to disturb him and also to focus my hearing. I also use captioning / subtitles when available.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439303528712333600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-13385414809510751522021-02-28T16:46:12.469-05:002021-02-28T16:46:12.469-05:00Thanks for the visit Jo, am making a note for The ...Thanks for the visit Jo, am making a note for The Librarian of Auschwitz.

There are certain authors I enjoy and I do go on to read all their books but I enjoy finding new authors to read too. Being in lockdown last year, I ran out of books to read so went in search of things on Kindle and I came across some books I wouldn't have ordinarily picked up to read but which I thoroughly enjoyed. I've read The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey, do read The Librarian of Auschwitz if you come across it, another great book.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-14738913493224589162021-02-28T13:29:41.279-05:002021-02-28T13:29:41.279-05:00Thanks for the visit Sandie.

As to reading, I love to read though I read mostly fiction - romance and murder mysteries. I just started James Marston's Women Murder Club series. I like audio books in that I can still crochet while listening but my hearing is poor so it's not optimal for me. Light stories where details don't matter as much are better for audio. Love the job you did on the strips and the brown ghan is coming along nicely.

I have listened to several books on your list and they have all been fascinating. Enjoy and have a wonderful and safe weekend.

Sitting down just to read always made me feel like I should be doing something else. Plus, there's something really nice about hearing some of the books being read by the person who wrote them. You really get their emotions involved.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-49620844486607418162021-02-26T07:00:04.662-05:002021-02-26T07:00:04.662-05:00I love to crochet...your colorful Afghan is gorgeo...I love to crochet...your colorful Afghan is gorgeous.

I love audio books and I am sure I would never have discovered them except that my husband permanently lost his sight late in life and was force from being a huge reader to being a huge listener. And it is really so much better to listen as you point out because you can do other stuff at the same time. It really does make doing boring activities - like cleaning house - do-able!Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21367476.post-48009692522349798002021-02-21T04:01:43.351-05:002021-02-21T04:01:43.351-05:00I don't think I could read/listen to so many p...I don't think I could read/listen to so many political books without a break - with something lighter - like murder mysteries.<br />I really loved the Tattooist of Auschwitz, but have not yet read the other.<br />Love your creativity.<br />Our vaccinations start tomorrow.
