Week 11

It has been a pretty good week for reading!  I finished reading The Walk by Richard Paul Evans and then I moved on to read the next book in the series Miles to Go.  I had set out to find an author who was similar to Nicholas Sparks and this author was recommended.  I have to say I agree, I found it easy to get get caught up in reading these books and I didn't want to put them down.  They are easy to read, which with my schedule and family is what I need!  As Alan continues his journey across the country he runs into a variety of individuals in which he helps in some way.  He continues to learn a lot about himself and others in general.  After I finished the last chapter I was a little confused about someone that he met but I am sure when the next book comes out that the character will be explained.  I will be looking forward for the next book to come out!

This is the third class that I have had the opportunity to pleasure read for an assignment.  I look forward to having this as an assignment because reading is something that I love to do in my spare time.  Two of my children are required to read for at least 15 minutes a night so this kind of fits in with their homework.  We can sit down together and have a little quiet time to enjoy our books. This is my last class so I will not have an assignment requiring me to read each week.   I hope to continue taking the time to read as my children continue with their weekly reading assignments.

The Walk

I downloaded another book on my phone to read this week.  I am reading The Walk by, Richard Paul Evans.  I am just over half way through with it.  This is a story about a guy who has lost everything.  His wife passed away, his company went under, he lost his vehicles, and then his house.  He decided to backpack across the country.  He has camped out a few nights and has met a couple of nice people along the way that have given him good deals on places to stay.  He keeps a journal along the way.  So far I am enjoying the book.  I look forward to reading what is going through his mind when he has no other distractions and nothing to worry about except what he is going to eat and where he is going to sleep.  Kind of helps you step back and realize what is important in life and what life is like when those things are gone.  I was really hoping to finish this book this week but it just didn't happen.  Too many things to do to get ready for the holidays!  I look forward to finishing this book and to searching for my next one!
