You're doing very well toward meeting your goals. Just posting each day can be a real challenge. Wow! You picked some serious reading. Are these the types of books you usually read for enjoyment? Or are you taking a literature course?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I mainly read "classics" (for lack of a better term) for leisure and because life is sort of like a literature course :) Even though for read-a-thons I'd usually pick some children's or mystery novels purely for the sake of quickness, I really felt like reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. No exaggeration here.
