Inspired by @merelybookish and @Cinfhen, my #top6reads of 2019 so far. One book of poetry, one fiction, and four self-help or nonfiction. Way less fiction and more nonfiction there than there would have been last year or the year before, but variety is the spice of life, and suchlike. ✨

Cinfhen Nice list!! My reading tastes have also evolved xx 5y
Sunraven @Cinfhen: Thanks! Though I‘m not sure I can lay claim to having evolved, precisely, as that sounds something like my tastes are improving ... 😆 I‘m probably just being chaotic. Hopefully I do come back to my fiction stuff again soon, or I don‘t even know what most of my library will do! 5y
Cinfhen Ha!!! Sometimes I need a break from fiction but I always find my way back 😉 5y

Sunraven @Cinfhen: I‘ve been developing a possibly wacky theory about my reading habits and my strength of identity, but if it‘s right, I will definitely come back to fiction once I get my internal crap more together ... Assuming I do, haha! Actually, I‘ve been feeling the urge for fictional reads lately, so I think that‘s a good sign. 😉 5y
merelybookish Great selection! I always mean to read Thich Nhat Hahn but get overwhelmed. (He has so many!) And I had Salt already stacked,.so thanks for the reminder! I read some self-help too, but it's definitely driven by mood! 5y
Sunraven @merelybookish: Salt was so good I think I read the whole thing in one night, and I foresee many future re-reads. 😁

I did the same thing with Thich Nhat Hanh for a long time! I get the sense, though, that you can just jump in wherever things look interesting. Seems like there‘s overlap, too, like the books are a series of friendly conversations where you sometimes repeat yourself, because some things bear repeating and your friends won‘t judge.

#Top6Reads #MidYearReport
Mahalo to @kspenmoll for the tag. 😘

Here are my 2019 top 6 favorite books I've read so far. Only one non-fiction (surprising), a couple of WWII historicals, a retelling of a favorite classic set in Pakistan, an odd & darkly humorous tale of sisters in Nigeria & a recent funny & light bookish read.

If you haven't done this & want to play along, consider yourself tagged. And thanks to @Cinfhen for starting it off. 🤗

Cinfhen So glad you joined in!! I‘ve taken a screenshot 🤗🤩 5y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen I normally have more non-fiction but seem to be seeking lighter reads this year. Too much work stress I guess! 😉 5y
fleeting I just bought Jade Lily and am so excited to get into it! 5y
DebinHawaii @fleeting I hope you like it as much as I did! 🤗 5y
kspenmoll I am buddy reading with a student of mine 5y
