the turn of the year starts a new list and challenge. As always I make it 52 to start. I almost always surpass this . A secondary goal is to get through the stuff on my shelves...
I currently have over 30 books to be read on my Kindle, at least 12-15 physical books on my bookshelf that haven't been touched in years and I recently inherited my mothers Kindle which has over 200 books many of which i have not read.... She has several memoirs/biographies which normally aren't my cup of tea but she had raved over several that I will have to try- I will do at least 3
I will still get my audio books from the library.
a tertiary goal is to read through the Jane Austin - I know I read some when I was in school and i have seen several in movies or remakes or stories that reference Austin stories - I have 2 on my kindles and the most of the rest are at the library in audio or ebook format...
