Welcome to 2014 and hopefully a bit more focus on the blog this year.
So the aims for reading this year? Usually it is 50 books but this year it is tomes. I have gathering dust on the shelf some rather thick books that I ignore because they might slow down that 50 a year goal. I have about eight or nine 700 plus page books that need to be read.
Here is a list that I would like to knock off:
I will also do the Australian Women Writers Challenge which is certainly worthwhile and I would suggest that you check it out. Not sure what I will Australian Women Authors I will read this year so I have opted for the Stella option which is read 4 review 3. I think I can manage that.
At the moment I am reading S by J.J Abrams and Doug Dorst and it is a novel that is really intriguing. It is a huge puzzle and there are so many layers. I am looking forward to finishing it so I can try and write down what I think about it.
Here is to another year of reading and exploring through words, Plus I hope to wax on lyrically about anything else that takes my fancy.
