My heavier reads are coming from the library so I need to find the cheerier ones here. What a world.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-30487532907642684392017-02-10T16:06:46.988-08:002017-02-10T16:06:46.988-08:00I read so many good books in January, which was a ...I read so many good books in January, which was a good thing considering the other things happening that month. Comfort reads for me included the Discworld books I mentioned earlier, and old favorites Midnight Is a Place by Joan Aiken and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Non-comforting but very interesting was The Unwinding by George Packer. I loved Troy Chimneys by Margaret Kennedy, once I got past the beginning, which had defeated me a couple of times. And I finally read and loved two of Guy Gavriel Kay's historical fantasies, together known as the Sarantine Mosaic. So, whatever happens, I shall cherish all of these reading experiences.Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-10841560139911768512017-02-01T23:28:13.538-08:002017-02-01T23:28:13.538-08:00I just don't feel like I've been working o...I just don't feel like I've been working on the project for over four years! Most of the books were a delight to read and I'm glad I did it. :)<br /><br />And my brief opinion on All Our Wrong Todays is that it has a lot of great ideas, you can tell a screenwriter wrote it if you're a movie person (which you are), and it really made me think (which I didn't expect!).Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-18503212887379310732017-02-01T20:28:01.274-08:002017-02-01T20:28:01.274-08:00I can't believe you're already almost done...I can't believe you're already almost done with 100 Chapter Books! That still seems like an overwhelming challenge to me.<br /><br />I'm curious to read what you thought of All Our Wrong Todays, since that's one of a very few review books I decided to stick on my Tbr pileHeidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-26710902440018387772017-02-01T19:28:22.153-08:002017-02-01T19:28:22.153-08:00I had to do comfort reads.

I didn't read much in the way of comfort reads this past month, and I'm thinking that's going to need to change for February cause my mood is GRIM today, friend. It may be all comfort reads all the time this February.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
