A few years ago, I listed my reading goals as “Plan better. Read more. Share more.” I even went so far as to issue a challenge to others to join in. I am not sure how I did in the sharing that first year, and it is still the hardest part for me, so I am going to attempt to post reviews as I finish books, while they are fresh on my mind. I am keeping up the other aspects of the goal as well. Planning has proved to be an important hinge of the whole plan, when it falls by the wayside, I end up reading things like Forest of the Pygmies and wondering why. (NB, I intentionally read YA and some pretty fluffy adult lit, this is not a blanket statement against such things.) No button for your blog, but I always appreciate seeing others reading good books and sharing about them, it’s a huge encouragement to me on my reading journey as well.

I appreciate your reviews, Kristen. Do you still post reviews on Amazon? I did my first Amazon review on Wendell Berry’s new book for children, Whitefoot.
Our library links to Library2Go where we can download audio books (new books, professionally recorded) for 10 days. This has spiked the amount of audiobooks we’ve consumed. My son just finished War and Peace.
