Here is a sobering thought and good advice.
Basically just do whatever you have been meaning to do but had put off for whatever reason. Today makes my 70th trip around the sun. Wow, where did all those years go?
That old saying "so many books, so little time" has more meaning for me now and I am definitely prioritizing the books I want to read. As I love making a list I will select three books to read from my shelves/kindle and a new one I've had my eye on for a short term goal.
One book I very much want is Valerie Perrin's latest set for publication June 23. It was published in French a while back but I am awaiting Hildegard Serle's translation to English.
Next up from my shelf, in no particular order are the following.
Hotline by Dimitri Nasrallah
The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy (from my classics list)
Beneath the Water by Sarah Painter
Tata by Valerie Perrin - ok, not currently owned.
Unknown - A possibilty from my classics list or a buddy read.
*This list does not include my library holds of some very cool books I am looking forward to getting this summer. You know...Patchett, O'Farrell, Toibin among others.
I think I will post that list next as it's extensive. How many holds does your library allow? Mine has a limit of about 50 books, I think. Not that I'd ever try and check out that many!
What else is new here...I made English Muffin Toasting Bread from a recipe from the King Arthur website. Recipe HERE. Makes excellent toast.
Haircut accomplished
