Yes, that’s right. All 24 books (2/month) have been read. I am going into bonus book territory now. I even ended with a 700+ page book that was really huge and heavy to drag on the subway, thus for the addition of a Kindle to my Christmas wishlist.
The final books are…
1984 – George Orwell
Flowers for Algernon -Daniel Keyes
In the Time of Butterflies – Julia Alvarez
Sanditon – Jane Austen
The Princes of Ireland – Edward Rutherfurd
Currently I am reading the New Yorker magazines that have piled up on my coffee table and then I will tackle my bonus book. Not sure what it will be because I need to make a trip to the store. Another reason a Kindle would be a lovely thing. Don’t get me wrong, I love books, and I love having them on my shelves. I just don’t particularly like having to schlep to a bookstore to buy one when I want it RIGHT NOW and it is raining out. A Kindle will help me focus on collecting hard copies of books I really like, rather than all books.
Now off to decide what goal(s) I will dream up for next year. I feel inspired since I accomplished this one.
Aw, man, I blew it this year and didn’t make it to 24. Sigh.
Congrats and Happy Holidays!!!
