I fell down on my reading challenges this year. Pop Sugar
and Read Harder. I just did not focus properly, I did catch up on
all the music because of Spotify. I got a little obsessed with
R.E.M. Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon. I could go on.
My best read of the year: King of Ashes by SA Cosby
The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich was another 5 star read.
#UpwardBound by #WoodyBrown a Net Galley prepub book also has to be mentioned. So incredible a book written by a nonverbal autistic graduate of UCLA.
I read several books for the second time. Brilliant writing.
Sing Unburied Sing-An American Marraige-Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter-Arcadia-The Shipping News-Silver Linings Playbook-Crying in H Mart-Blossoms in Autumn.
I loved these books just as much the second time around.
As is my signature blog statement I must answer at least one
question to examine my life.
What are the things I am avoiding and how can I overcome my resistance?
I avoid making decisions about the changes I need to make.
My life is so different alone. I am still living in a house over
125 years old. There is so much costly upkeep. No one in my family lives anywhere near me. I have lived in this house for at least 50 years. I hate to leave. My camp is falling apart. Why didn’t I sell it? I don’t know how to overcome my resistance. I feel stuck.
Well, that resolved nothing!
