by Unknown's avatar

A few days ago, as I am wont to do on occasion, I walked through the stacks at my local library, immediately making a line towards the French literature section.

by Unknown's avatar

Last year, I read 79 books. I really wanted to hit 80, but I fell one short. This year, my goal is to read at least 80 books, and as of the end of March I’m on track to read 10 books a month, so 120 books overall. I really doubt I’ll hit that goal, but I may. To reach that goal, I have … Read More Some of My Favorite Books So Far in 2024
