Some thoughts
- I’m at about the same place with my reading now as I was at this time last year. I was feeling like I’d fallen behind, so it’s nice to look at the numbers and realize I’m keeping pace with myself from year to year.
- I’m doing better with my reading challenges than in previous years. I think I found a handful that are the most fun for (and valuable to) me.
- The last 12 months have been awful, but have taught me so much.
Looking ahead
- I’m also really enjoying stretching my creative writing muscles with writing prompts. Going to keep this up in the second half of the year.
- My book-buying ban continues, but I’ve amassed some gift cards that are begging to be used. Time to stock up on psychology texts and other books I can’t find at the library!
How’s your reading going this year?
