What is grief, if not love persevering?

I'm trying to reach my goal actually. There are so many that I want to read and keep putting off. I wish I had much more time to read all of them. *sigh* But I'll definitely get there. The difference in my goal for this year is actually a lot lower than the goals I usually set for myself. I know some people who are trying to read only five books for one year. Yikes!

I've got six left, but my current book is historical, so that will be one more off my list :)

Nice, Gravy! Yeah, the 50+ year one is tough. I'm still planning on The Phantom of the Opera, but so many other books have consumed my time!

On a positive note, I just checked off #15) Read at least one book by a foreign author. I recently finished India Was One by An Indian, and the author is from India, which is a foreign country to me. It was a great book!
