A book exchange at my kids' school this week allowed me the time to go through our bookshelves. I purged a bit and reorganized a bit, but mostly I noted that I have so many books that have been on my shelves for years that I have never read. It renewed my goal to get through them this year - not all of them, but many of them. I know I will decide after a few chapters to set some to the side, but I just want to make some decisions and start looking at empty space or new books up there!
April was a good reading month for me. I'm not quite sure what to attribute that to - I did spend a little more time on the treadmill (obviously I don't go very fast since I'm able to read and walk/job at the same time), and maybe I was better at reading while waiting for my kids at their various practices, rather than just scrolling mindlessly through my phone! Whatever the case, I had some fun ones in there. I read all my goal books for April, and added six more.
Goals for April:
- The Adventure Gap by James Mills (Non-Fiction/Book Club)
- The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (Fiction)
