Some thoughts
- A few months later and I’m still obsessed with Little Women Letters. Seriously, why haven’t you read it yet?
- I read more non-fiction than fiction. That might be a first for me — ever.
- Did a little more re-reading than usual, but I enjoyed a walk down memory lane with Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series.
- I’m trying out PaperBack Swap with mixed results. Giving it a few more months before I say yea or nay.
Looking ahead
- I’m so excited to be participating in World Book Night again this year, especially because I’m giving away copies of the Gaiman/Pratchett novel Good Omens!
- Trying to find a balance between “reading to review” and “reading because it’s enjoyable.” Some months are easier than others.
- Let’s finish some challenges this year!
How’s your reading going this year?
