Don'...Aw, thanks, Shaye, for all the kind words! Don't be too impressed - so far it IS a bit overwhelming, and I;m not getting much else done - lol! But, I am getting better (and faster) with editing. I'm just using iMovie which comes with all Macs. It took me awhile, lots of how-to videos, and some frustration to figure it out, but I think I have it now :)<br /><br />Yeah, I rarely set books aside, but I was glad to with this one! Some reviewers on Amazon loved it, but it just wasn't clicking with me.<br /><br />Oh, never read the reviews of a book you are excited about! ha ha Just jump in cold and allow yourself to enjoy it :) Love that your family all passed Ready Player One around, too!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-77911144231344923382021-03-12T17:38:24.364-05:002021-03-12T17:38:24.364-05:00Yes, you are right!

I rarely set a book aside, but I was relieved after I did it last week!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-76577502030662115342021-03-10T21:14:44.170-05:002021-03-10T21:14:44.170-05:00I've enjoyed watching your vlogs, Sue! I'm...I've enjoyed watching your vlogs, Sue! I'm just so impressed with those of you who've expanded your book blogs to videos. I wish I was ready for that jump and I've dreamed of starting it and involving the kiddos, since we read together so much. But since I struggle just to get my #imwayr posts done while mothering and home schooling, I should probably put the video goal on hold and keep learning from those of you who are currently mastering it. I would love to know what video editing program you use, though. Maybe I can start tinkering around over the summer.<br /><br />I wish I could allow myself to set aside a book. There have been just a few that I was SOOOOO thankful to finally finish. And, in hindsight, it would have been better if I could just let it go when I wasn't enjoying it so that I don't get into a reading slump. <br /><br />I really liked what you shared about The Heart's Invisible Furies and I'm adding it to my list. Would love to squeeze it in over the next few months. My husband, my oldest daughter, my oldest son, and I all LOVED Ready Player One. We all read it before the movie came out and had a blast talking through the details and then comparing the book to the movie. So I've been excited about Ready Player Two ever since I heard it was coming out. We bought a copy and gave it to my son, first (hoping he'd hurry up so the rest of us could pass it around). But when I started seeing a number of the reviews coming through on Goodreads, I got a little depressed over the comments. Fingers-crossed! Hope you and your family have a fantastic week!<br />2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-53966007921043554762021-03-10T14:22:17.753-05:002021-03-10T14:22:17.753-05:00Wow you really were busy this week! I remember whe...Wow you really were busy this week! I remember when my mother-in-law went into a home after a stroke. We used to travel to where she lived and bring her out so she could be in her own home for a while. Eventually it just got to be too hard on her. It sure is challenging watching our elders age. <br />I stopped listening to a book this week too. Life is too short and there are already too many books to read to continue on with something that isn't working for you.
