Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…

• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

My Musing:

My musing today is about time management. I don’t seem to have enough time in the day to do everything I need to get done. (or want to get done!) I am a pretty organized person, so I normally don’t struggle too much with this but lately it seems I’ve lost the organization and my life is spiraling out of control. (Ok that is an exaggeration…lol) Maybe it is the fact that it is summer and I would rather be outside but it seems I need more time to do the things I want to do (read/write/ splash around with the kids in the backyard) rather than the things I have to do (work/laundry).

Maybe I just need a vacation!

Anyone else struggling with time management lately?

My Musing: 

I bought Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready at Walmart a while back and let it sit on my shelf for some time.  I got hard into my kindle and just forgot about the book.  I know I read the back and must have loved it but for some reason I forgot about it.  Then about two months ago I found the book on my shelf and started reading it, this time without reading the back.  OMG I was instantly engrossed and surprised.  Had I read the back I would have realized the guy in the story dies at the beginning.  It is the whole point of the book.  But holy cow since I didn’t read it, it was so powerful I wanted to cry when he died.  I wonder if that is common in other books?  I mean you have to read the back insert to see what it is about but it’s too bad we can’t just start with a clean slate.  I am looking forward to reading Shif next but I’ve decided not to read the back.  And then onto Shine.  Very excited.

My Musing: 

In the world of technology we have many new ways to read books.  The traditional paperback in either hard or soft cover, the many ebooks Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc.  You can download onto your PC or IPhone or tablet or pretty much endless devices.

My question is what do you do most of your reading on?  And what do you prefer and why?

I will always love the traditional Hardcover books.  There is something about the smell and feel of these books that makes me love them.  However the price for these is a little steep, therefore I do most of my reading these days on my Kindle.  It is funny actually that I bought a kindle (which is an american product) when I live in Canada.  When I downloaded a book I had to do the conversion from American to Canadian on my credit card.  This was a big downer which influenced my buying a KOBO for my kids.  I love the kindle more.  More variety, more free books etc.  I was delighted when Amazon came up with an Amazon.ca with all the same features.  I now avoid the whole money conversion and absolutely love my Kindle again.  I just wish it was a Kindle fire or one of the newer versions with a back-light.  Can’t have everything I guess…lol
