RE: 2020. Reading Challenge

That is a good group of books to read.
You have inspired me again. 💖
I need to explain, I hope my comment is not to long.
I used to be a very avid reader, I never counted, but I would read a book per week at times. But after my mother passed away suddenly 6 years ago, I could not focus long enough to read an entire book. Grief affects each person differently, and my attention span was shortened by my grieving. I started a few books, but never completed them. Then I realized what the problem was, and since that time I have not even picked up a book. I can read magazine articles, and online content, but I haven't had the ability to read an entire book.
But you have inspired me to try again.
Thank you Nina, I'll let you know how it goes.
Big Hugs and much love!! 💖

Papa Bear, this comment really made me think and I remembered that recently my mom told me something - that when she hears music, it reminds her of her brother who passed away this summer. He wasn't related to music in any way, it's not about a particular song, I guess it's what you said that Grief affects each person differently.

I hope you will be able to enjoy reading books again but even if you don't, it's fine. We all have to figure out what works best for ourselves.

I'm sending you big hugs and thank you so much for sharing this comment. <3

I'm sorry for your loss of your Uncle. 😥
I'm also now grieving my Dad who passed away last November, the day before our Thanksgiving Holiday. Life feels strange without mom and dad.
Much love 💖 Bear Hugs
