My 3 books are: The Joy of Slow: Restoring Balance and Wonder to Homeschool Learning by Leslie Martino. My novel is The Princess and the Goblin by MacDonald (reading with the Close Reads podcast) and I need to pick up a third, as i just finished a quick and fun whodunnit mystery this afternoon.
I tried reading it aloud to my girls a few years ago and we closed it halfway as we weren't very interested. I'm only reading it again because Close Reads is reading it and they help me get through books i wouldn't normally pick up. 😂
I got into a Catherine Project class, so I'm reading excerpts from a lot of old Greek stuff. This week I'm trying to work on Oedipus the King. Next week, I think it's Plato. So that's my Stiff book. I'm in a Bible Study Fellowship group so I have the daily homework, which isn't quite a devotional, but helps me dig into the Word, so I don't feel like I need a devotional on top of that. And the novel I'm reading is pretty dense, so I would count that as being more moderate. But I'm trying to read The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, which is the sequel to The Three Body Problem. So then my light/novel category is mostly books I read with/to my kids, whether that’s read-alouds I'm listening to on audio with the older kids, or picture books I'm enjoying with my toddler. But then there's also my shower book, which is something I'm listening to on audio while I shower. Sometimes, I listen to podcasts. But I've also been enjoying The Notebook by Roland Allen. I also sometimes throw 52 Ways to Walk into the mix.

I need to listen to The Princess and the Goblin. I read it only with my kids and wasn't as into it. Hopefully, listening to it will be more enjoyable.

It's good to read with friends :D

That’s a good idea to count the kids read aloud as your light reading. I’m going to count that in the future.
