It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? 7-21-25

Another rushed post using the iPad, while I sit outside for my lunch hour at work! Still trying to minimize stress from politics by listening to an audiobook instead of podcasts and YouTube videos. Also, still trying to spend less time on Facebook.

Had a relaxing day with family on Saturday, and stayed almost entirely off the phone, but didn’t take any pictures as proof!

My current reading is almost the same as I reported two posts ago, where I talk about most of them in a more detail. The audiobook list changes more often than the print books, but I’ve started a new book, so now I’m not reading four books concurrently. 😉

My LibraryThing isn’t up to date, either. Another undone item on my to-do list from the weekend!

Audiobooks are so good. I don’t even live in the USA and yet I get caught into the scrolling. I am working on not doing it! Plenty of podcasts that aren’t political, books and quilting ones are my go to.
