I’m thankful that I have this stack of books to read:

I can travel the world and never leave my chair. Pure heaven.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.  Charles W. Eliot

    • I’ll be through that stack and move on to the next stack. Hubby and I read every day. 🙂

    • Me either, Miss Molly. We have two large bookcases and they are crammed full of books and then there are the stacks. 🙂

  1. We lived within walking distance of the library. I was THAT kid who carried home the biggest stack of library books to be handled and then immediately sat down and started reading them. I loved to read so much when I was younger. I still do, but I rarely carve the time out to do so. Enjoy your reading bliss! I’m thankful I’ve hit the jackpot two years in a row with good students. It makes teaching so much more enjoyable.

    • My parents didn’t instill reading into me, but somewhere I picked it up and it never went away. I’m happy about that. 🙂

  2. My mom has never enjoyed reading books. Even as a little girl, she was always in the top reading group but only read the books she had to read. She loves short stories and articles on things of interest. Once and a while she will read a book on a topic she wants to learn about but then she reads the whole book in a day and that is it. We know most people love to read and that is a nice thing.

  3. Eugi – Atlanta Ga – A Pushcart Prize nominee in 2025, my poetry appears in twelve anthologies, and my work is published across six platforms, inclusive of WordPress, PoetrySoup, Spillwords, BlueSky, Mastodon, and Tumblr. I am among those who received Socialite of the Year (Honorary Award) for the Year 2025 by Spillwords Press. I’m thrilled in be in the company of such a talented group of kindred souls. Now retired, I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 40 years being rewarded professionally and personally.

    Wow, that is a lot of books to read! Happy reading and happy Thursday!

    • We love to read and it’s a comfort to have a stack of books to enjoy. 🙂

    • Yes it is. I get antsy when my stack gets low. You have a nice day too. 🙂

  4. I am very thankful that you included the Goodreads links; I’ve added a few of your books to my TBR list, and a few were already there!
    And I lurv audiobooks!

    • How wonderful. I love recommendations on good reads too. Happy Thursday. 🙂

  5. Tails Around the Ranch – Denver, CO – The inspiration behind this blog was one knuckleheaded Standard Poodle named Sam but is now inspired by a House Pony-Wilson. I'm Monika, the upright. Living in the Denver metro area, we post about dogs, rescue and nature. So grab your favorite beverage and be prepared to howl along with our adventures. And don't forget to bark your 'pup-tacular' comment; we'd love to hear from you.

    Wow, you’ve got a great book pile there! Enjoy your ‘travels.’

    • Thank you and I will. Happy Thursday to you, scritches to the pups and a smooch to Norman. 🙂

    oh boy! I will see if these books are available in our llibrary! Thanks and have a great day!
    we are swamped right now with projects – so I may not be posting as much as in the past. Cheers!

    I’m a teeny tiny bit jealous – that brand new Karin Slaughter book is one I’m very much looking forward to! I’m waiting on a copy from the library but it seems like it’ll be a long wait. She’s an incredible writer.

    Great selection of books here to soothe your soul. Reading is a wonderful thing. Enjoy! xx

    • I get most of my books from Literary Guild and Amazon. I love to read. 🙂

    Books–great teachers, travel guides and companions! Just finished reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, highly recommend this beautifully written bittersweet novel to readers everywhere. 🙂 Thanks so much for putting Dog Bone Soup on your stack, Sandee! Happy Thursday and Happy Reading, my friend. xo

    • I’ll have to check out that book. You’re most welcome. Happy Thursday and Happy Reading to you too, Bette. 🙂

  9. I am thankful for people who write books. I read all the time, one of the joys of retirement. Last year I read 100 books and will probably do the same this year. I am familiar with some of the authors you have on your list but haven’t read the books you mention, at least I don’t think so. Once I read a book it seems to leave my brain quickly. I keep a blog page with what I have read listed that helps to jog my memory.

  10. I so agree with you that I’m thankful for books! So many different kinds of subjects to enjoy!
    Happy Thursday and a good start to the weekend days! <3

    Our Human agrees, books are a way to be transported to places and worlds we could never imagine.

    • That’s exactly how I feel. Purrs and head bonks back, Alberto. 🙂

  12. Mya – Hello friends! I hope you enjoy your visit. I love my family, farm and friends! My home was built in 1730 and it has a lot of history. I’ve lived here most of my life except when I was married. I moved back home to take care of my Mom who had Alzheimer’s with my family. I hope you love my farm as much as I do! Thank you for visiting!

    Great list of books Sandee! I have put a few of those on my list! Now that I don’t have a job (I won’t say I’m not working as I’m working harder than I did when I had a job) I am taking the time to do some reading. After all the illness in my family over the summer, I am thankful for my health this week. I am thankful for you you and your hops! You ROCK!

    • I’m so happy you’re doing well. I so love visit you and your babies. Especially Marv. I love Marv. 🙂

    Looks like some interesting reading, my friend.🥰.📚

  15. When I was more involved with blogging, I rarely read books anymore, all I read were pet blogs! Now that I have some down time when at my shop, I’ve started reading books again. Then I realized how much I had missed them!

    • I try to do everything and reading is right up there at the top of the list. Smooches to Luke. 🙂

  16. Mom loves to read too, and she sees some of her favorite authors on your list. She may just have to check out some of those books.

    Have a great weekend.

    • I love action books the very best. Have a great weekend and scritches to the pups. 🙂

    • It’s a wonderful thankful indeed. Books are wonderful. Have a great weekend. 🙂

  17. That sounds awesome! I need to get an actual book. I took up reading a lot on my kindle during this pandemic, but I miss the feel of a real book. Reading is the best!

    • We love our books. I’ve not got into Kindle, but hubby has. If you’re traveling the Kindle is the best. 🙂
