books in my mailbox in book reviews

I hadn't left the apartment for a few days - REALLY lazy - and when I checked the mailbox I had THREE books!
I belong to three book exchange sites, post lists of what I want, lists of what I have to give away, mail out what others want, receive what I want. I love it.
I got: The Year of Fog (novel); The Ladies Lending Library (novel), Hyperspace (non-fiction, by Michio Kaku); Rin-Tin-Tin (non-fiction, biography of a celebrity dog).
It's not as if I have nothing else to read, but these looked interesting.

there are various internet book exchange sites. My favorites are bookmooch.com and paperbackswap.com. Another is titletrader.com. They all work on a point system and you do NOT have to exchange directly with a person giving you a book. The drawback - the post office... I don't have a computer program that will print postage, so I have to stand on line at the post office. They all know me, so it's not a big deal. And I ALWAYS have a book to read when I stand in line... LOL

Can you tell the clerk to hold on as you just have a page or two to finish ?

I post some while reading others... when done, list them, then out they go.

I read book after book - even one in paper and another on the Kindle. We're getting that disgusting weather in a couple of days.

Years ago, I decided I'd do a lot of reading when I retired. Then I realized, "Why wait?". I started doing a LOT of reading during my summer vacations.
If it weren't for computer games, which I do enjoy a LOT, I'd be reading at least one book a day.
