I’ve been a lover of books for years. I read voraciously and bought even more so. But I’ve slipped in recent years, becoming a person who spends more time reading about books online than actually reading, or even watching the movie/TV show before I read the book. I know. I am very sheepish to admit that.
So, this year I’m going to work on becoming a more “well read” person. But, I don’t want to just check books off a list (though that will be happening); rather I want to read well – meaning actually thinking and absorbing what I have read. I’ll be using various reading challenges to inspire my reading as well as my own very large TBR pile and the great used bookstore that is Jen’s Books in Douglas, WY*.
*Full disclosure – Jen is not just my go to bookpusher, she’s also my mom. So Jen’s Books will show up a lot in my postings and I also have a key, so when that late night “I need something different to read NOW” urge hits – I’ve got a source.
