Time to tackle the reading goal for 2026. As mentioned in an earlier post, my goal this year is to read 78 books. That’s not a lot for many people but it is definitely a challenge for me. I do a combination of listening and reading books each month. Based on my statistics from last…

I love to read (and that includes listening). I am flabbergasted by people who don’t enjoy reading or listening to books. For me, reading takes you to worlds unknown, real or imagined and can access all of your emotions. Reading is a mental exercise but I also see it as fun and not a chore.…

Today, I’m sharing my reading progress for the months of June and July. As we get closer to the end of the year, I am getting nervous about whether or not I will hit my target. It doesn’t really matter because I’m pleased with the books I’ve read but I’m still trying to hit the…
