Bear with me here, as I get things figured out around the blog. I'm sure that I'll be (continually) tweaking things. I figured that just jumping in was the best way to actually get started; if I wait until I've got it all mapped out, it'll never happen.
This should be a monthly feature, just to sort of keep tabs on things. Plus - I like lists, so.

Finished 13 books: (Click the cover photo to open the Goodreads profile)

    This was my selection for book club, which meets next Monday, and a
    s of Thursday afternoon, I am about 2/3 done.
  • I just got a text that a book I have on hold is available, so I have started Crossed, the final installment of the Matched Trilogy by Ally Condie. I'm currently 200 pages in.

Where I'm Going:

My plans for April

  • Book Club: The Great Gatsby - A reread for me, though it's been at least 10 years, so it will be mostly a fresh look. Prepping to see the Movie together.
  • The Vonnegut Project: Going to attempt to read the first two books on my list, Player Piano and The Sirens of Titan. I feel like 1-2 titles a month is probably a reasonable rate for the project, because I obviously need to read other things at the same time. My attention span can't handle too much of one thing for very long.
  • I've been seeing lots of fantastic reviews for Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, so I added it to my queue at the library. There are 3 people ahead of me, so it's unlikely that I'll get it before May.
  • At some point, I might even actually write about some of these books, rather than just listing what I'm reading...
