Reading is an old friend that I can always come back to when I need it. I am so happy to see this prompt and get a chance to work on this topic, as it was what I had envisioned for my blog when I started working on it more seriously last month. I am figuring out how I want to do reading lists and coordinate pages with posts. After making some progress this morning, I realized I probably won’t finish it today, but think of this post as a coming soon announcement.
This morning, I finished The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel by Kati Marton. Hopefully I will have a blog post about that one up soon. I loved learning more about Germany’s enigmatic leader that I saw the tail end of her governance. I am more in awe of her now that I was before I read more about her.
I have started Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience by Brené Brown on the Kindle and The Midnight Library by Matt Haig on audiobook. I like audiobook for feeling like I am being read to and consuming a story while doing chores or exercise. If I want or need to really retain the material, I prefer to concentrate while reading it with my eyes.
