On my last Around Here, I forgot to write about what I'm currently reading. Then I thought, well, I'll just have to do a reading update. I have been a reading fool in 2017. Some of this I attribute to my yearly goal of 24 books, and some of it is because I have made reading a priority.
So far this year I have read eleven books
(soon to be fifteen-- I have 4 books that I'm over halfway through).
I am reading lots of books on my Kindle, some purchased and some checked out from the library via Overdrive. I subscribed to BookBub, which tells me when there are books I'd be interested in on sale on Amazon Kindle. Many times the books are between $0.99 & $2.99. I've gotten some great books.
I am reading when I'm nursing and before bed, and many times while Josh and I watch TV in the evenings. It's like I can't get enough.
2017 Books I've Read:
(Bonus! Every single one of those books is on sale right now on Amazon!)

ReplyDeleteomigosh! this is incredibly inspiring! Awesome job! I'm doing much slower on my reading this year and want so much to jump into the book club reading but can barely seem to get myself together on the one book I already started for the year....ONE BOOK this year so far. Goodness. I swear all this clutter and mess has me all sorts of mixed up and my goal for tackling it in these final winter weeks is bound to create space in my mind, heart, and soul for reading (please!!)
