- Read in snippets - I now try to read one chapter each morning after my quiet time in the Bible and prayer before the girls are awake. One chapter only takes about 10 minutes or so. The trouble is just to read one chapter and stop!
- Multi-task - Read when your body, hands or feet are occupied, but your mind is not. I hate working out on my stationary bike, but if my mind is occupied, I don't mind at all. I've been reading while I work out, and now I look forward to getting on my bike. I also throw my current book in my purse or bag when we are going to drive somewhere, as I may get a few minutes to read.
- Listen - Audio books are incredibly convenient. I had a great time cleaning the kitchen and making Ben's lunch the other day while listening to The Five Love Languages. Our local library system even has an digital audio book library, so I can check out, download, and listen to select titles right from home.

cute picture!!
I have often thought about listening to more audio books. They are very convenient. Since becoming a mother, I barely read for pleasure anymore. I really need a plan to read more. Hopefully you can stick to your reading list! They look like great books! I loved Dr. Chapman's Five Love Languages.
