A10 I'm not finshed with it but Barrack Obamas A Promised Land. #DigiBlogChat

Niice! These all look fantastic! Thank you, Ana! #DigiBlogChat

Q10. Can you recommend any good books you’ve read for the summer? #DigiBlogChat

Great list, Ana! I'll repost the second part, too. #DigiBlogChat

Oh my gosh! How is that happening? #DigiBlogChat

Between questions we’d like to announce next week’s topic: Digital Storytelling! #DigiBlogChat

A8. I prefer a real book, we have shelves full of past reads and they make good discussion points with some visitors. For convenience on the move, the Kindle app is my primary fix. #DigiBlogChat

Q8. Do you prefer physical books or e-books? #DigiBlogChat

A7. I’ve never considered reading books set where I go on holiday before, other than guidebooks, but what a great idea to read books that are set where one goes on holiday! #DigiBlogChat

A7. No, never been inclined to do that and no plans to start either. Wondering now if you can get some data on gender preferences with reading, bet you can. #DigiBlogChat

Q7. Do you read books that are set where you go on holiday? #DigiBlogChat

A6. Yes, I always take at least one book on holiday. More than that won’t get read, and I can always buy another book if I get through what I’m reading. #DigiBlogChat

Here we go again! #DigiBlogChat

And again! #DigiBlogChat

A4. Why is reading important? Fixed your sentence for you. #DigiBlogChat

A6. Kindle app, full library of magazines and books on tap, no damaged pages. To be fair though, the smell of a book is hard to beat when it is new. #DigiBlogChat

It’s the halfway point and time for a quick stretch! #DigiBlogChat

A3. I haven’t noticed whether I do or not, honestly. I’m reading a pretty wide variety of things at the moment. But interesting question, I’ll need to keep track to see if there are patterns! #DigiBlogChat

A2. I’ll read almost anything. Literature, Classics, Nonfiction, Self-Help, History, even Textbooks. The books I tend not to read are Romance, Young Adult, Horror (I’ll occasionally pick up a horror book or two in October). #DigiBlogChat

A1. I read as much as I do year-round, which is a *lot*. At all times I’m reading anywhere from 5-10 (!) books at the same time. I have ADHD so I like having lots of different options for what to read, depending on what my brain fancies in the moment lol. #DigiBlogChat

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes Caesar by Adrian Goldsworthy Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes Challenger by Adam Higgenbotham The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (this one is a commitment lol, 14 long books) The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischvili

10. That’s tough, because I don’t usually read the kinds of books you see at the bookstore. So I’ll recommend some of my absolute favorites in general! #DigiBlogChat Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe The Masters of Rome series by Colleen McCullough (Continued)

A9. Amazon. And…well, I can’t share publicly 👀🏴‍☠️ #DigiBlogChat

A8. Physical books 100000%. I love the tactile experience of holding a book in my hands! #DigiBlogChat

A7. Oooh interesting question! I did read a lot of books about the Apollo program and NASA before I visited the Kennedy Space Center. And now that I’m traveling to Japan in November I have been reading some short novels written by Japanese authors and that have been translated. #DigiBlogChat

A5. I believe I read the same way I do during summer as I do the rest of the year, which is I like a good challenge but I usually limit myself to only one really challenging book at a time lol. #DigiBlogChat

A6. It depends on how much space I have in my luggage. If I do have room, I limit myself to two books at most. If I don’t have room, I bring my kindle! #DigiBlogChat

Q6. Do you take a book (or several) on holiday? #DigiBlogChat

A5. Hmm. Neither really. It's a pleasure to read mostly, guess it depends on the end goal whether it is challenging. #DigiBlogChat

Yes to the biographies! And self-help can be interesting, too. #DigiBlogChat

Oooh! That brings up another question--how do you keep track? #DigiBlogChat

The State of Fire: Why California Burns by Obi Kaufmann, and The Secret History, by Donna Tartt. And a bio about Claire McCardell, which is fascinating. #DigiBlogChat

Q5. Do you read something more or less challenging in the summer? #DigiBlogChat

Q2. What kinds of books do you most enjoy reading? #DigiBlogChat

That's awesome, Ana! I like to read that way, too. And wait until something "takes hold" and then take a deep dive. #DigiBlogChat

Q3. Do you read a different kind of book in the summer? #DigiBlogChat

A2. I like to read a combination of fiction and non-fiction books. Right now on my To Be Read pile: The State of Fire: Why California Burns by Obi Kaufmann, and The Secret History, by Donna Tartt. #DigiBlogChat

Trending already! #DigiBlogChat

A3. Oh yes, books are generally sillier in the summer. More fun, and much less business. #DigiBlogChat

A4. You can avoid electricity charges, take in some travel inspiration and see treasure maps longer into the night. #DigiBlogChat

Q4. Why is summer reading important? #DigiBlogChat
