Josie’s 12 Book Reading Log

[Josieb]

Because I am joining mid-year, I am setting a modest goal of 12 books. Currently my husband and I are working our way through the John Le Carre books. Although we are starting with the George Smiley set, I plan to read The Constant Gardner and The Night Manager as well. I have two other goals that to me are huge. I got my undergraduate degree in literature but things moved so fast I couldn’t possibly read everything. But I saved every one of them. I will read them all one day. I will also finish all of the books I started but abandoned. Wish me luck!!

Thank you so much for your good thoughts! I see I was too conservative in setting my goal.
It feels so good to be reading for pleasure again!!
