1. This month, I am participating in a buddy read with another avid book reader living in the UK. We are currently reading Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates.
Daddy Love is one of Joyce Carol Oates's shorter reads at roughly 240 pages and has 25 chapters. The goal is to read 5 chapters at a time and then discuss them before moving onto the next five chapters. So far, we've read and discussed the first five chapters of Daddy Love. It's a great read so far. Joyce Carol Oates is such a good writer, but Daddy Love is going to be a heavy read. I'm glad to have someone to read this book with...
I also have another blogger friend who has expressed an interest in reading Daddy Love with me! I am interested in hearing her thoughts regarding Daddy Love.
2. This month, I also have plans to read Culpability by Bruce Holsinger and to discuss it with another friend who is reading this novel now.
3. I also plan to read Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez for this month's book club selection for the Online Rainbow Book Club.
4. I also plan to attend and participate in this month's Online Rainbow Book Club. I enjoyed attending last month's meet-up.
5. Hopefully, fingers crossed, read a couple of other books beyond the above mentioned books. We'll see how it goes.
6. Find more new to me Little Free Libraries later on this month during an out of town mini trip with my husband. If I find any new to me LFLs, I'll be sure to write a blog post about my experience.
I think this pretty much sums up what I have planned this month bookish wise.
What are your bookish goals this month?
Looks like a busy month for you. I don't really plan goals in advance, although I do have a long and growing list of books that I want to read. I'll get to them when I get to them. I'm really in a reading slump at the moment and I need to pull myself out of it - starting today, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteGood luck pulling yourself out of your reading slump, Dorothy! My year of reading is off to a slower start than usual. It seems like last year was also a slow start too for me in terms of reading too. I don't know if it's due to coming off of the holidays or what, but January is a slow month for reading if the past two Januarys are any indications. It seems like I am settling into a groove and reading again. Although, I must admit my reading has taken me down a path I hadn't anticipated as I'm reading stuff I didn't initially think I'd be reading this year.
DeleteGood luck with all your reading goals this month! I don't have any reading goals, just a bag of books from my library I hope to finish before they're due and I have to return them. ;D
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Good luck with reading all of your library books!! I just finished my buddy read today by completing Daddy Love.
DeleteSome nice goals. We will be quite an international group for the buddy read. Looking forward to it. And, I'm always looking forward to your LFL finds. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marianne! It's great meeting people from around the world... Even if it is only online.
DeleteMeeting someone online can be so true. I've met several friends who I met somewhere online (even in my blog) whom I've met personally and they all were just as I imagined.
DeleteGad you've had wonderful in person experiences with those you've met online.
DeleteYes, I haven't been disappointed so far. I think we can get to know people just through writing.
DeleteTrue enough.
