I’ve missed reading. I started off the year doing about a book a month, but things got extra busy this Summer. I read only one short book in the last few months, so I’m behind in my annual goodreads reading challenge. But I think I’m gonna catch up. Continue reading Reading Challenge Update
People like to set goals and make resolutions at the start of the new year. But not me. Well, except for the annual goodreads book reading challenge. Last year my goal was 12 books – one per month.

When I was a kid, I didn’t like reading, fiction or … Continue reading The Magic Of Reading Books
