Anybody else just grab a random piece of paper for a bookmark? Receipts, clothing tags, Kleenex, string, junk mail flyer or whatever is handy. I often seem to loose the bookmarks I have purchased. So now I use any flat item to mark the page. The only thing I don’t do is fold over the corners. (That’s a no-no.) 📚😊
@GoodBooksLately2 ай бұрын
Yes, I often do this as well. Especially if I'm starting a book and don't have a bookmark handy. Just grab the closet thing.😁

Tayler, I too had not read a whole lot of nonfiction but there are a couple of books that really helped me get into them. The first one is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

Very interested in Alchemy … reminds me of The All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Giordano Bruno was referenced in the first book A Discovery of Witches and in the second book Shadow of Night, the main characters (a witch and a vampire) time travel back to 1590-91 and interact with John Dee and visit Prague and interact with the Emperor Rudolph and residents of the Jewish quarter.

Question for Tayler - this is a crossover question between this channel and WNH. How are you managing your time between knitting projects and reading? I'm not yet skilled enough to read and knit at the same time. Curious if you structure your time similarly each day to make progress on both or if you just wing it based on what you want to do at that moment. Thanks!
@GoodBooksLately2 ай бұрын
This is a great question. I tend to have chunks of time where I do one thing or the other (or both). In the morning, I read and have coffee (I’m up at 5:30), later in the afternoon, like before dinner, I’ll read and knit, and then I read a bit before bed. Right now I’m only knitting on socks so it’s been a bit more simple. Oh! And I’m also squeezing in about 20 minutes on those book nooks. On busy days, I usually only have extra time for one of these things.

I'm hoping to crack open a new book tonight, but still deciding on which one. ❤
