My dearest blog enthusiasts,
After several conversations which have convinced me that there are those in the internet world who actually read and enjoy this blog with some regularity, I realize that I should explain the reason for my absence.
Just in case you were terrified that I was NOT going to finish my task, FEAR NOT! I am merely on hiatus. I am in the process of applying to graduate school (dual degree programs in law and public policy, in case you're interested) and have had to study for and take the GRE and the LSATS in the last six months. After the LSATs, I was hard at work on my applications, and now I am finally ready to return to my lovely books.
I have just finished Great Expectations and will be blogging about it soon - perhaps tonight, perhaps later in the week.
So for those of you who have missed my blogs, look forward to a new one soon. In other news, I'm looking for fellow book-lovers to do "read-alongs" with me in the coming weeks so that I can have reading partners and they can share alternate perspectives. They're welcome to share a blog entry alongside mine, or just thoughts and ideas. I've got takers for A Tale of Two Cities and War and Peace but I'd love for anyone to join me for any of the other ones coming up on my list.
Off to a crackling fire, back in a jiffy!
When I first started this blog, I gave myself the task of reading 100 "classic" novels. After six years, I finished those 100, and moved on to tackle another 100. After 13 rounds of 'book bingo' (see posts for description), I decided to tackle 40 (ish) books for my 40th year. These are the books I'm blogging on now. To see older posts from the first 100, the second 100, or the book bingos, navigate to that specific page.
A note on this blog's organization
Since I first started this blog, I've read well over 600 books. I decided to organize them by sections, so to navigate to specific blog entries, review the sections below. To look for a specific book, try typing the book title or author's name in the search bar at the top left of this blog.
