What Helen Read #39: July 2019

This month as I am preparing this post, I'm also preparing for a romance authors and readers BBQ at my house. We have about thirty people coming and I'm really looking forward to the day. It's going to be great. This is the second one I've hosted. The last one was two years ago and I would have done one last year but I was overseas for most of the year. I'd invite you if you lived in the area.

Here's what Helen read for the last month.

What Deanna Read #42: July 2019

Greetings! Can you believe we are well and truly into the second half of the year now? Whoosh! There went 2019!!

I'm happy to report my eyes are healing nicely. I've reverted back to an almost normal sized font. Things are still a little blurry but it's manageable. There were times when things were so blurry and I couldn't even see to read a phone number that I was ready to cry from frustration. Can't tell you the number of times I had to ask Steve to read something for me because I couldn't see. But yay! My distance vision is near perfect and it's just my close vision that needs some adjustment.

From a reading perspective, I think I did pretty well. My Kindle has a Reading Insights feature and I am trying to keep my reading streak up. I'm making an effort to read daily and even on days when I'm busy and don't have much time to read, I try to squeeze in five minutes just to maintain my reading streak. Do you read on a Kindle? What do your reading insights look like?

What Helen Read #38: June 2019

As I'm putting this together, I can't believe it's July already. The first half of the year has just flown by for me. There was crazy, manic work, some family related travel, a bit more work, and then settling back home, and of course, the eye surgery. What a nutty six months it's been. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year and hoping our plans do not go awry. What do you have planned for the second half of the year? Anything exciting?

What Deanna Read #41: June 2019

Yeah, this getting this post out late is getting to be a habit but I have a very good reason this time. I had eye surgery towards the end of June and I needed time to recover. I wasn't certain how long things would take to settle down so I planned a few reviews earlier in the month first so that the bloggity was covered in my absence. My eyes were extremely blurry for the first few days and will continue to be blurry for the next two to six weeks until things stabilize. In the meantime, I am reading on my Kindle with a GIANT font. And I mean GIANT. Because I cannot see with a regular sized font. My Steve calls it my "granny font". LOL. I kinda like it. Anyway, from the first check up I had with my doctor, my eyes are healing nicely.
