Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about:
Do you have to carve out time in your day for reading (due to work and other obligations), or does your reading just happen naturally? (Question courtesy of MizB)
     Over the past 6 months, I had plenty of time to read due to not being able to do much in way of household obligations and limited activity.  Now, since the surgery, I have even more time to read while recuperating.  And according to the surgeon, the little activity I am allowed will probably be for 3 months or longer.  Now, in the morning I work on the computer and my afternoons are for reading and dozing (because of the pain waking me up at night, I don’t get a very long restful sleep).  For the future, I have thought about this a lot.  I have much to do in way of mine and my mother’s house, which will not give me much time to read.  I will probably be very selective in the books that are for “requested reviews”.

Today’s Musing Monday question is:
 Do you frequent second hand book stores? Have you ever bought a book home only to find anything interesting within their pages?
  The answer is Yes and I would suspect all book addicts have located a second hand book store where they live.  I could spend hours in the one I visit.  The only problem I have is I tend to bring home more books than I traded even though I promised myself that I have enough books on my shelves already.  To my surprise I did find one treasure in a book and it was a 4 leaf clover wrapped in saran wrap !!!!!

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about the war books
With yesterday being Anzac Day, I thought I’d ask a theme question this week. Are you a reader of war books? And if so, do you have any favourites?
  Not sure if this counts but the only “war book” that I read was The Diary of Anne Frank, which I read many years ago while in elementary school but it touched me so deeply that I still can recall the images that I created from reading the book.  It is definitely one of my all time favorites reads of my lifetime.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about multitasking.

Do you – or are you even able – to do other things while you read? Do you knit, hold a conversation, keep an eye on the TV? Anything?
  This is a bit difficult to answer.  I’m not sure if it would be considered multitasking.  I usually have the tv on a cable news station, volume low and if there is “breaking news” or I hear something of interest, I stop reading.  Reading while having a conversation?  Only if someone interrupts me and asks a question.

Yesterday was another beautiful spring day here in New England.  I noticed that there wasn’t much traffic around the blogosphere and thinking many might have been enjoying the weather.  If you have time today, it would be appreciated if you could read yesterday’s Slapdash Sunday meme’s posting and maybe even leaving a comment.  After reading a comment from Sheila from One Persons Journey Through A World of Books, I thought I would post a little note about it again.  Thank you.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about tbr books. (for those that are new to book blogging, and I was one just a few short months ago and had no idea what tbr meant…I wanted to pay it forward…..it is short for To Be Read)
Where do you keep the books on the top of the tbr pile? Not the bunk of the mountain, but just the tip of the peak – the ‘almost up to’ books?
  I have 3 piles.  On one side of a double floor to ceiling book case, I keep my new books (6 months),  along with those I have won with post it notes on covers with dates purchased/won in one pile.  The other side is for my old (books I purchased over the years and haven’t read yet!!).  Those are just shoved in and are in no particular order.  I have a different pile in another room of “review books” with post-it notes as to the order they were received and need to be read.  Since I started reviewing in December, I haven’t read any of my personal TBR books, only my Review TBR books.
