I counted 48 completed reads! In 6 months! How many hours a day do you read? What’s your reading routine? Do you use audiobooks a lot?
I’d be interested to hear your strategies for getting so much reading done.
Thank you.
Hi Sarah! I read early in the morning, I use audiobooks for novels, and I read again at night. This is from last year, but it explains some of how I read: https://plumfieldandpaideia.com/reading-plan-saras-approach/
Thank you. That post was very helpful. (As is this site ?)
God be praised! Truly, I am so glad. If we can be a help to anyone it is just a small repayment we make to the many who have helped us (and all those who continue to help us) on our own journeys.
