Books

I have been reading a lot more in the last year or so than I have been previously. I don't mean reading for school, but reading for my own enjoyment. Or should I say listening? Because most of my books have mostly been in the form of audio books.

They have included titles in many categories including the following:

-- Novels --
Sense and Sensibility
Emma
Mansfield Park
The Help
Little Women
Go Set a Watchman

-- Children's Fiction --
The Trumpet of the Swan
The Little Princess
Nancy Drew - The Secret of the Old Clock

-- Children's Stories --
Lentil
Make Way for Ducklings
Burt Dow Deep Water Man
Blueberries for Sal
One Morning In Maine

-- Mysteries --
The Reckoning
Murder at the Brightwell
Murder at the Vicarage
Evil Under the Sun

-- Biographies and Autobiographies --
The King's Speech
Einstein
When Breath Becomes Air

-- Life Advice --
French Women Don't Get Fat
At Home With Madame Chic
Bullet Journal - The Method
The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up
What the Most Successful People do Before Breakfast
The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People
Rare Leadership
Love and Respect
The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex
Taking Charge of Your Fertility
The Meaning of Marriage
Sheet Music
His Needs, Her Needs
The Language of Love and Respect

What I've noticed is that where I used to just enjoy stories (biographies, autobiographies, novels, children's literature) I am noticing a trend where I am reading about how to do things. Notice, that wasn't books about how to make things (which has historically also been a favorite category of mine) but how to do things that will prove useful in life. The question is: has this trend come from a long while of studying at Moody, or from watching Rex research things he wants to know how to do better at?
