Lori's Taking a Few Nibbles Buffet

[Lori]

Thanks Wobbley. I’ve enjoyed this year and will probably do a similar process next year. Not much if any planning.

You've done a lot of good reading this year! Your New Author list is amazing! Enjoy the last couple of months :)

[Lori]

Well I’ve finished my last book to complete my Old and New challenge, Jude the Obscure.

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as Tess or the Mayor of Casterbridge. Maybe it’s the time of year and the fact that I’m getting ready to go see family tomorrow that I wasn’t in to it very much. I’ve had a few other reads about the same.

So glad to finish this challenge and will leave the others incomplete for now. It was a great year and I really want to read for fun the rest of the year.

Sorry Jude was a disappointment, Lori. It is my favorite Hardy, but it can be oppressively grim, so timing might matter quite a lot.

Hope the end of the year is complete fun for you. I have also allowed myself permission to read only what I want to from here out.

Congratulations on finishing the Old & New Challenge, Lori, and for reading so many other great books this year. Enjoy reading at will for the rest of 2024!

Like you and Sara, I started doing the same thing when I finished my two challenges last month. I feel like I'm in college again, when winter break came and I put aside textbooks and read for fun. LOL

Wow -- finishing New & Old TBR is a major accomplishment! Enjoy your family visits. :)
