Some thoughts
- And I’m back to reading more fiction than non-fiction.
- I’ve re-read the entire Harry Potter series. I’m even more in love with it than before.
- I’ve progressed amazingly on my reading challenges. Looking forward to completing them before the end of the year!
- The sudden uptick in YA reading correlates nicely with my stress levels and need to escape.
- I seem to be at a stalemate with PaperBackSwap. No one has requested the books on my giveway list, and I can’t find any books to request (even though I have plenty of credits). Kind of a bummer.
Looking ahead
- I got so many books for my birthday. I can’t wait to share them with you guys!
- Been a rough few months. Looking forward to the 4th of July holiday and some actual relaxation (knock wood).
How’s your reading going this year?
