In the last year, I've pushed myself even more. I have an audio book in the car, one in the bathroom for teeth-brushing, one in my pocketbook for everywhere, and one near my bed for a quick bit before bed.<br /><br />Happy reading!Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-89155925845877986772011-05-22T17:18:49.500-04:002011-05-22T17:18:49.500-04:00Thanks, Deniz!

I can carry so many books around now! We even read at the dinner table and the kindle is much easier to prop up. I reread certain favorite books a lot.
