I read/listened to other books but didn't finish them. Some of the reason is because I didn't read everyday because one or two books were on audio. One of them that were on audio, he is such a quiet spoken man that I had to concentrate and I kept having to go back some, even started over once..so I am not that far in. All, I just took my time with. Plus, my ears started bothering me so I had to go a bit without listening. And, I have been taking notes as well. One of those books is The Power of Now (summary linked) by Eckhart Tolle (audio). I will continue on until I finish the book. I did buy it so I could "annotate" the book. So, I'm glad that the Believeathon took place last month as well. I feel like I actually accomplished something and gave me the push I needed to get to some picture books I've been wanting to read for a while and even a couple that came out this year. Whenever possible, I will be buying The Wisdom of Sundays (summary linked) as well. It is one of my favorites this year.

**Hocus Pocus, It's Fall: I counted this book for the "magic words" in the title and at least a time or two throughout the book. So, yes, I kind of pushed it with that one. lol
**I read mostly children's books over middle grade because I still just was not in much of a mood for longer novels/fiction & the children's books were easier to sit and read for me. Plus, I just really enjoyed them so I'm glad I picked them up. especially Hocus Pocus, It's Fall. That one became one of my favorites for this year..if for no other reason than the pictures in the book. Although the Poppy books were chapter books, they still were not that long. They were more like the chapter books for 2nd/3rd graders that are just starting to read chapter books.
I also started reading A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Summary Linked) but didn't finish it of course and I didn't want to rush to finish it. I will definitely work on finishing the books I started in November in the month of December. I will try not to start any other ones until I finish the ones I started, even though I do have others on my shelf.
