Have you tried audiobooks with him? He can have a chapter a morning, while he’s doing his stuff. (If your house is small enough, you can do this with a pair of Bluetooth headphones, so you control the playback device.)

If you’re in the mood for spooky, I recommend Cherie Priest’s The Family Plot. You know those architectural salvage shops? The ones that go into old buildings scheduled for demolition and strip out the good stuff? They’re in a *lot* of old houses, and they run very close to the bone financially.

I’ve been reading Analogue: A Hate Story and Hate Plus. They’re not books though, they’re games- well- sort of.

Just started Death’s End by Cixin Liu, the 3rd book in the Three Body Problem trilogy. It’s Chinese science fiction. The beginning of the trilogy was hard for me to get into, because it takes me a while to remember foreign names, and my mind kept wanting to pull it somewhere more familiar. And there is a lot of…

Awesome! One of my big sources of pride is that my middle and youngest children could read at 4. My youngest now has a vocabulary that exceeds most adults’ in our area (sad, I know, and he’s only 7) but he has such a thirst for knowledge, how can I deny him?

I don’t mind if he reads at breakfast or dinner. Since my husband and I are big readers, we are often reading and eating together.

The new Shirley Jackson biography, A Rather Haunted Life, along with my October Reading: Dracula, The Big Book Of Ghost Stories, and Ray Bradbury.

My mom used to scold me for reading during meals (“It’s rude! Mealtime is family time!”) but I just couldn’t help it. And I am now a well-read, well-spoken woman, whose vocabulary is intimidating, at best.

When I was 12, I made my summer reading project my grandmother’s copy of Gone with the Wind. Words cannot express how disappointed I was when I watched the movie later that summer. I was all “This is wrong. That’s wrong. It didn’t look anything like that!”

The Man in the High Tower. Prime members can now “borrow” 10 books at a time at no charge. It’s awesome!

Mine are all readers but the boys were at a disadvantage because my husband was *not* a reader growing up, thus had no great books from his childhood to pass on. Out of my collection, my oldest son liked Encyclopedia Brown books, and both my boys loved Harry Potter. Without a lot of extra guidance, they seemed to…

I am hoping she loves them. I saved those, my Nancy Drew books, my LM Montgomery books, my Judy Blumes, and even some of the stuff I’m not as proud of (Taffy Sinclair/Fabulous Five books, lol. Even back then, they were a pure hate read.) I’m definitely excited.

I just picked up the Damnation Game by Clive Barker and Little Stranger by Sarah Waters for some Halloween reading. Haven’t gotten too far yet but I’m excited to start!

I’m reading the new Tana French, The Trespassers and I can’t put it down! I’m also reading Sister Citizen by Melissa Harris Perry to supplement the current unit I’m teaching on The Bluest Eye and it’s so great and relevant. On deck is The Mothers by Britt Bennett and The Wangs vs The World by Jade Chang, both of which…

The Rook by Daniel O’Malley. I read it like a month ago and still can’t get it out of my head. I am thinking about already reading it again. It is that good.

I’m about 2/3 through American Gods and it’s fantastic. I’m not a great book reviewer but it’s clever, imaginative, great characters. Even got my mom to read it.

Slowly working my way through Jane Eyre, and waiting for Gone Girl to come in at the library. Amazingly I haven’t had the *omg plot twist* at the end spoilered for me, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Which means I’m going to accidentally find it out like a day before I start the book, I know...

I’m impressed that you see doing chores as a break from adulthood. I had cake for breakfast, lied to my coworkers to get out of having brunch with them, and am currently pretending my bedroom isn’t full of glassware and unfolded laundry.

I keep recommending “A Wolf Among Wolves” by Hans Fallada about Berlin and the countryside during the Weimar Republic. Esoteric? Maybe, but so good. Also the new printing of Elizabeth Bishop’s Poems is great. She cut out everything she did not think was just right and it is so tight and perfect.

I have been re-reading The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
