Reading Plans
The year is drawing to a close! Well, not imminently, obviously, but close enough that I have been drawing up some final reading plans to ensure that I read everything that I meant to read this year, despite the incursion of NetGalley into my life.
I want to read the Newbery Honor books that I haven’t read yet for this year, Pam Munoz Ryan’s Echo and Kimberley Brubaker Bradley’s The War That Saved My Life, which involves World War II, so I will probably enjoy it. (Echo appears to be a billion pages long. I hope it’s worth it.)
I also want to read the new American Girl series, Melody Ellison in 1964 (the books take place in Detroit during the Civil Rights Movement), and the library finally has them! So I have put the first one on hold.
I have two challenges left on my reading list. November’s is a book you’ve been meaning to read, which quite frankly describes a lot of books, but one of my friends mentioned she meant to read The Things They Carried which I have also been meaning (and dreading) to read, so I’m going to do that one.
(I also signed up for a November challenge to read books that you’ve got lying around on your shelves, because I figured that otherwise The Secret Country Trilogy might lie around for years before I got around to reading it. Books that I own always seem to go to the bottom of my reading list.)
December’s is a book published this year, which likewise offers an awful lot of choice, but when I saw Grace Lin’s new book When the Sea Turned to Silver I knew at once it had to be that one.
And...I think that’s all I’ve got planned, actually! Which is not actually all that many books; it seemed like a much longer list in my head.
