A Place of Her Own, by James C. Christensen
It’s been a long time since I read a long-ish book, and now I’m immersed in two of them at the same time. Both books are on my Classics Club list, but I didn’t plan to read them right now, let alone at the same time. However, one was chosen as my Classics Club Spin book, and the other one was for a fun read-along challenge that I simply couldn’t resist. So here I am, reading one chapter a day for The Three Musketeers read-along, and listening to the audiobook of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court while doing chores or driving in the car. And I’m enjoying them both!
A Fondness For Reading 
My current books a bit a long-ish, too. However, I’m so engrossed in them, I don’t mind one bit!
Lovely blueberries in your header. We passed a few farms on our way from Corvallis to Junction City last week. I love their autumn hues.

Thanks, Les. I love the blueberry farms around Forest Grove. There are a number of brand new blueberry fields that were just planted. It was amazing to watch them plant such large fields! And they brought in a mountain of sawdust to mulch around them.

Wow, listening to audiobook while doing chores? You must be great at concentrating, I can never do that!
A Connecticut Yankee is in my CC list too. I’m curious to read your thoughts.
Have fun! 🙂

Thanks, Fanda. I can do some chores while listening, but if anything requires much thinking or problem solving, I find myself totally distracted from the story and have to go back and re-listen to that part!

Hi Robin. It’s nice you’ve got one physical book and one audiobook, so the reading dovetails with your life, when you’re out & about. I do the same with some projects, for a similar effect and fun. Hope you have a fruitful experience.

The last book I read was a little short, but the one I’m reading now is over 500 pages. I’m also reading one that’s almost 600. Big books are awesome, if they can keep my attention.

Pamela, that’s the trick…the long books have to keep our attention!
