Libraries make shhh happen
May. 15th, 2019 01:12 pmMe: Okay, I’m just going to return this book and not look around. I already 6 books out I need to read.
Me: *Checks out 3 more books*
It never fails, rarely can I enter a library without borrowing something. Oh well, even if I don’t get to read them all at least I am helping with the libraries circulation numbers. In other reading news, I added another completed book to my Goodreads 2019 challenge, The Dead Mom’s Club by Kate Spencer. 3 guesses what that’s about, right?
Seriously though, it’s a good non-fiction book that I found helpful and I would recommend it. I will warn you the earlier chapters are gut-punchers. I had to stop and start a few times while reading it because I had similar experiences as the author.
A few people told me they lost the urge to read while grieving and I was worried I’d feel the same. I’m happy to say I still have the urge but I’ve noticed it does take longer for me to finish books. For that reason, I’m glad I kept my 2019 reading goal this year.
I always enjoy taking part in the Goodreads yearly reading challenges and typically try for 50-100 books but I think that would be too difficult this year. Instead, I stuck to a goal of 24 books, which I might increase it if I reach it by the summer but I have to admit I enjoy the low stress of this goal.
