I think I've got my book packing and buying about right this time (4 average length books for choice, and that haven't taken up to much space at all) I haven't been able to resist buying more (didn't really try either) but in the end there's nothing quite like a book is there?

I have the kindle app on my phone and sometimes use it, just not often. I was quite disciplined in that I packed 4 books, at least 2 of which I'll finish, and I might get stuck into a third if time allows. So far I've bought 4 more books (including Elementum, which I've read quite a lot of) so I think I'm doing okay. Everything seems less stressful now I've slowed down for a couple of days!Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-44638073821787383062018-09-21T16:41:46.605+01:002018-09-21T16:41:46.605+01:00Your post about packing for a trip is timely for m...Your post about packing for a trip is timely for me. I am also packing for a trip on which I will have plenty of time to read, but often in the past I've packed too much reading and too little clothing, and since I know of a lovely little bookstore at my destination, I will try not to overdo the books. On the other hand, I've had the experience, on more than one occasion, of packing only 1 big book and having it be a tremendous flop. I wonder if it's time to give in and buy an e-reader.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111736625664327019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-33226269989314198642018-09-20T14:15:12.536+01:002018-09-20T14:15:12.536+01:00I used to take few books and my Kobo.

Now I take one book and the Kobo as a back up, unless I'm in the middle of an ebook in which I just take the Kobo and load it with books I know I'll want to read. I think it's one of those times you just have to be strict, and if you need to spend some time deciding on which to take then so be it. Similarly with 'lots of books right now', just pick one even if it's the first on the shelf, and go for it, then choose the next. Even if you only read a few in this order, that's more than none and you can always return to it after reading something else :)Charliehttp://wormhole.carnelianvalley.comnoreply@blogger.com
