Today’s question:
Do you tend to read to the end of a chapter or can you stop anywhere?

My answer:
I usually read to the end of a chapter, however, if something interrupts me, I have to stop where ever I am.  When that happens, I do find myself having to go back a page or 2 and reread to refresh my memory.

Today’s question:
Other than working at a job, what is your biggest interruption to reading? What takes you away from your book(s)?

My answer:
For me, there are a two big reasons that take me away from reading but don’t  consider them interruptions.  The main one would be real life in general, daily tasks that need to be done around the house., day to day chores.   However, I think the  biggest cause of interruption, time wise, would be being on the computer, blogging and and taking care of business for Partners In Crime Tours .  Other than that and due to  the fact that I am now an empty nester, only hubby and I in the house, and not working outside of the home, once I do grab my current book and sit to read, there really aren’t any “interruptions” per se.

This week’s question:
What are you currently reading? And, is it better, as good as, or worse than your last read?

My answer:
I currently have 2 books going but finding I am reading one more than another.  Guess I am still a one book at a time person.

It’s The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan, which is also a current giveaway if you are interested…check out sidebar.  I am enjoying it and being the month of The Titanic Anniversary it seems fitting to be reading it now.

Compared to my last book?  Quite different.  This is fiction whereas my last read was a memoir.   The book is RagDoll Redeemed:  Growing Up In the Shadow of Marilyn Monroe by Dawn Novotny.   Amazing!!  Powerful!!  Sad!!  Inspirational!!  I read the book in 2 sittings, it was that good.  Could not put it down!!  Even though 2 different genre books, I would have to say, the memoir was better.  It was a read that touched me to the core and will stay with me for a very long time.  FYI..I read this book at the request of WOW and Ms. Novotny will be a Guest Author here on June 7th.   Mark it on your calendar as there will also be a 2 book giveaway that you WILL want to enter.  I have written my review and will post it then, but will tell you I rated it a 5+.
