So, in the spirit of setting new goals, I am renewing my commitment to getting these books read! I may cheat and do several of the children's book in rapid succession in order to feel like I am making progress, but progress is progress, so I guess it's not technically cheating.
Wish me luck with my renewed goal. . .and be prepared to do lots of reading as I post my small successes.
My only question is: Are you enjoying the journey? For me, reading is all about enjoyment (as you will see from my less-than-enthusiastic comments about some books). I have just read a couple of delightful books and begun a few new series that I have enjoyed as well. I used to read to "get through" something but I have learned to stop torturing myself. If I don't like it, I put it down. By the way, I would recommend "Sotah" and "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand" if you're looking for something uplifting and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am not enjoying the journey right now. As obsessive-compulsive as I am about checking things off of lists, I just dread reading time now-a-days. I feel like I should be able to enjoy my hobbies when I get time to do them inbetween working 2 jobs, but I hate to give up. I will need to roll this concept around in my noggin' for a while before deciding to change tactics with this goal. There should be joy, not dread, in reading books!! Thanks for the reminder-LOL!!!
