(I'm thinking of reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I might finally be ready.)
If you have a very good memory, or the patience to check, you'll notice there are several titles that were also on last year's list. I did not read "well" last year - at least in terms of meeting my goals. Perhaps I need fewer 700 plus page books on my list, at least during my mothering years. Maybe next year; this year I'm still planning ambitious goals.
These 28 titles leave a little room for fun. And there's always fun to be had at the library.
You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C.S. Lewis
