Reading Habits

What book or magazine 
are you currently reading? 
I usually read a novel and 
a non-fiction book, along
with the Bible, Mornings
with Jesus devotional, and
all the Guideposts magazines,
since I write for them. 

Your Reading Habits

I'd be lying if I told you the only reason I write is to glorify God. I write because it feels good. It scratches a huge itch in my soul for creative expression, for significance, for connection with others on a level of understanding that can't be acheived by mere converstation.

And for you.

Yep. I write because I want to enrich your life, help you discover the bottomless heart of God, and add more laughter to your days.

I realize you read more than humorous inspiration, though. And I'd like to know. . . what are your reading habits?

What genre do you mostly read?

When do you read?

Do you like long or short books and/or articles?

What keeps you reading long after the clock says "bedtime"?

Do you think a humor/devotional writer could pen a succesful novel?

And speaking of reading, I just got word that my publisher is offering one of my books free on this

Goodreads Giveaway, through Thursday, January 31. You could be the winner!

What, Where and How Many Do You Read?

• What books and magazines are you currently reading?
• Do you read more than one book at a time?
  
• Where do you read?

In my living room, decorated in shades of sage, maroon and gold, my couch is heavy with Bibles, Marlene Bagnull's "Write His Answer," "Daily Devotions for Writers" edited by Patricia Lorenz, "Miss Match" by Sara Mills, and "Me and My Big Mouth" by Joyce Meyer.

In my front bathroom, splashed with sunflowers, birds and kitties, I read, "Stop Whining, Start Living" by Dr. Laura Schlessinger, "Daily Faith Food Devotions" by Kenneth E. Hagin, and 20 lbs. of magazines.

In my back bathroom, bordered and bedecked with seashells and ocean life, I read, "Ending Your Day Right" by Joyce Meyer and "Writing with Banana Peels" by James Watkins.

On the nightstand of my blue and rose bedroom is another Bible.

My Thomas Kinkade bordered office bookshelf holds a plethora of reference and craft books, and novels yet to be read or given away in blog contests.

At work I keep a copy of the New Testament and "Just Walking" devotional by Clella Camp.

I take a book or magazine with me out to eat or shop, in case I have to wait in line or alone at the table (when Kevin is with me, we talk. I think it's rude to read when he's there). When we lived in Southern CA and often visited Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm, Kev took a book along to read while he waited in line for rides!

I'd love to hear about your reading habits...
