I’m making progress in The Scarlet Pimpernel but dreading Les Mis next. ha. I know it’ll be good overall but I’m not looking forward to the rambling.

I’ve heard of both those books but have read neither. I got the teen version of “Not a Fan” on my Kindle when it was free but have yet to read it. My daughter has been in a college small-group that used the book, and she really liked what they shared.

My reading in Chesterton is coming along–it’s gotten a little harder in spots, but well worth it still.

I haven’t heard of The Wisdom of the Enneagram but it sounds intriguing. I’m over halfway finished with The Power of Now and it has given me SO much to think about, and encouraged me more and more to stay in the moment (i.e. stop obsessing about the past/quit worrying about the future).

Well, it’s always a trade-off between reading and writing and other life things. 🙂 Yes, seasons come and go. My 24-yr-old daughter is back to a season of enjoying reading again–but once she has kids, it’ll probably slow down again, or at least change to Dr Seuss books. ha.

I delayed reading A Tale of Two Cities for years but once I finally dove in, I loved it. (Well, technically I listened to it, didn’t read it; the accents were marvelous!). Older novels can be a challenge but they’re usually worth it if they’ve stood the test of time this long.

February throws us off, yes? I’ve been doing a lot of reading this month, but not necessarily from my meticulously planned-out list. ha.

Thanks for the tip about the movie. I’ll have to get it after I finish the book (and never before! right?). Right now I’m having a little trouble keeping up with who’s who, but I’m probably trying too hard to remember everybody that may or may not ever recur again in the book.
