The Blind Assassin: A Novel | Margaret Atwood

Getting settled in to read more of The Blind Assassin with my mom (reading The Interestings) and our lovely cat. Is it weird that when I'm at my parents' place it's their bed that ends up being one of the best #readingspaces? ☺️ I usually kick my dad out and he reads in a chair. 😂 #blindassassinbuddyread

LauraJ Looks fun to me. 7y

BarbaraBB It looks lovely to be there with your mum! 7y

One of my #readingspaces (& probably the most comfortable). I often find myself sitting at the dining table to read, but this is my cozier place. #blindassassinbuddyread

This has been my "reading chair" for the last thirteen years...and where I'll be as soon as the kiddos are in bed! #blindassassinbuddyread #readingspaces @JenP

Louise That looks super duper comfy! 😍 7y

im2bz I would totally fall asleep the moment I sat down in this chair. 7y

Lissa00 @robinb Bought it with our wedding money but then I commandeered it for my sole use.😂. 7y

robinb @Lissa00 Wow, it looks great and sooooo comfy....I don‘t blame you a bit! 😉 7y

#blindassassinbuddyread day 2: #readingspaces A general prompt while we are all just starting out. As we progress, prompts will become more specific to book content.

The view from my front porch where I like to sit on a white rocking chair to read. This photo is from last year but i‘m hoping that the view will look like this at some point while I‘m still reading book.

Where are you reading? How far in are you and are you enjoying it so far?

JenP This is our friend “chippy.” My daughter likes to leave him acorns on our front porch (a fact I just discovered a few days ago when I found an acorn on the step). 7y

Theresa I'm only on page 18. I'm trying to save it to read on my flight later today, but it's sitting on my lap as I play on Litsy so I may not be able to hold off. I'm concerned that I may not be able to stop at this week's stopping point. I am taking another reader's advice about taking note & going thru the 18 pages I have read to jot things down for future reference. 7y

JenP @Theresa it‘s fine to read ahead too 😊. I think note taking is a good idea. I‘ve taken a few notes to help me understand the family tree but I‘m not going note crazy like I did with Infinite Jest 7y

Suelizbeth I am currently at work, so I am not reading anywhere 😿When I get home tonight, I will be reading from my reading chair in my bedroom. I can‘t remember what page I got to last night, but I am enjoying this book. 7y

morgan_krahn I love the chippy 🐿☺️ I‘m at work and reading my postal book club pick for the month! 7y

Clarastina I'm reading on my iPhone next to my sleeping baby. Not a glamorous location but really cozy. :) 7y

Clarastina You have such a lovely view! @JenP 7y

JenP @Clarastina cozy is good too! 7y

dd4250 Soccer practice? Does that count as a lovely view? 7y

JenP @dd4250 hmm, I guess it depends on the field 😂 7y

Clarastina @dd4250 😂 7y

emilyhaldi Beautiful view!!! 7y

batsy Well, hello Chippy! 😁 That's a lovely space and view. 7y

Cinfhen Beautiful 😍 7y

#BlindAss #ReadingSpaces but honestly I'm really heartbroken over the news from Las Vegas 💔I can't seem to read... As a frequent concert goer this tragedy hits close to home. Music is meant to unite us, lift us up ~ sending prayers🙏🏻💝#BuddyRead

JenP

JenP Me too! It‘s hard to post about books or reading given the events in Vegas. 😢 7y

RaimeyGallant I don't even know what to say... 7y

MallenNC I know. I've never been to Las Vegas but I've been to so many concerts. The idea of something like this happening anytime, but especially where people are just trying to have fun, is heartbreaking 7y

AmyG I have no words to even describe what I am feeling for the families who lost loved ones and for the people there. I just don't know anymore. 😪 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Can't read this morning either. It's horrific. 7y

Reviewsbylola So scary. I'm terrified to go to London in February. 💔💔 7y

emilyhaldi So awful 😢 7y

Leftcoastzen My mind keeps spinning. Such despair. 7y

Cinfhen It was a surreal day, as my heart was breaking for the victims in Vegas my close friend's daughter got married tonight. And her wedding was full of such love & joy ~ a total celebration of life ❣️Hard to describe my mixture of emotions @JenP @RaimeyGallant @MallenNC @AmyG @emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Leftcoastzen 7y

Cinfhen But I didn't read a word today! #Nada 7y

TrishB So heart breaking 💔 7y

Mdargusch It's a sad sad day. And Tom Petty is dead too. 😢 7y

Cinfhen I know @Mdargusch we were meant to see Tom Petty in concert this summer but last minute we changed our minds because it was an outdoor venue & the weather was awful 😢 7y

Cinfhen I feel a reading slump upon me @TrishB I can't seem to focus 😭and I have visitors for the next 5 days 7y

TrishB Sometimes our brains just say enough for a couple of days 😢 maybe friends around will help 💝 x 7y

alisiakae I have been in a bit of a reading slump, too the last few days. Usually books help take my mind off of things, but I haven't been able to focus either. 7y

Cinfhen I'm on day 2 of not WANTING to read 😔I'm in crazy cooking mode, it's another way I cope with stress, although cooking is stressful in this country but that's a rant for another day @4thhouseontheleft also so relieved to hear your sister is ok 💕 7y

Winter's Heart: Book Nine of 'The Wheel of Time' | Robert Jordan

For day two of BookRiot's #Riotgrams, here's where I read. The two places I read most are at work and at the gym. You probably wouldn't think a 911 center would provide much time to read (during the day and evening shifts, you'd be right), but on my midnight shift, there can be long stretches of silence. The trick then is keeping the brain active and sharp. #WhereIRead #ReadingSpaces #911life

Merethebookgal I bet you have some interesting work stories! I can read on the stationary bike, but can't on the elliptical; that's when audiobooks and podcasts come in handy 👍 8y

BillBlume @Merethebookgal I really do have some great stories. This past November marked 15 years. And oddly enough, I find reading easy on the elliptical, but only if I'm using my nook. Paperbacks and hardbacks are a different story, though. 8y

LauraBeth I'm not sure which picture I'm more impressed with! 😀 8y

ReadingVampire How do you become one???? I've been trying to find out where to apply? That career isn't for everyone. I know it will be slightly different where I live but maybe they have a similar way here. 8y

BillBlume @LauraBeth, thanks! I'll confess a soft spot for the bottom picture, but I don't get as much practical use from it compared to the one on top. (edited) 8y

BillBlume @Puredragonstar these days I know the county I'm with posts it on their on job site, but I have to think places like Monster.com or its equivalents would have it there. It can get categorized as law enforcement but it often gets listed as clerical (it so isn't clerical, though!). 8y

BillBlume @Puredragonstar and yes, it takes a rare type to do the job. Manning is an issue throughout the nation. Only a third of the recruits in the academies where I work tend to make it through the entire training process. 8y
