I'm actually aiming a bit higher this year, and will be counting the books I read with the kids as well, because it certainly takes up a lot of my reading time! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Poirot Short Stories! C.G.

This year I'm hoping to slow down and work through some longer books that have been "on my nightstand" for a while - The Silmarillion, Journals of Jim Elliot, Hercule Poirot Complete Short Stories, etc. All books to savor and read unhurriedly, but it will be nice if I can finally mark them as complete! :)Elizabeth Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681448814813694801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-84616903898167146232021-01-07T13:12:45.951-05:002021-01-07T13:12:45.951-05:00Ooohhh...I read The Year of Living Danishly...I ga...Ooohhh...I read The Year of Living Danishly...I gave it 3 stars (and no review) on Goodreads. It was clearly a forgettable book for me. C.G.

I only read 26-27 books last year. I had so much less free time it seems than previous years -- or harder books to read. LOL. This year, I'm trying for 1 book/week. So far, I've got two books done, so I'm ahead. I hated <i>The Year of Living Danishly</i> but really enjoyed <i>My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry</i>.FishMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048416191022893529noreply@blogger.com
