I’m enjoying both these challenges, but I think Monthly Motif is doing me the most good. Here’s what I’ve read.
Some thoughts
- I’m not as far behind as a thought! By this time last year I’d read 30 books, this year I’m at 27.
- I’m back to my normal fiction-heavy reading, mainly because real life has gotten crazy and I’m desperate for some escapism.
- Favorite read so far – Toss-up between The House on Tradd Street and Unspoken.
- Least favorite – Hild
Looking ahead
- Hoping to keep up with my reading challenges and finally scratch some books off my TBR!
- I’m somewhere in year two of a book-buying ban! I’m so excited that my local library is well stocked enough to keep my bank account nice and plump.
How’s your reading going this year?
