September 1, 2020 By Linda Jo Martin 2 Comments

I am flying through books this year! I’m excited to say that at the beginning of September, I have only twelve more books to read for the 2020 PopSugar Reading Challenge – and this is the closest I’ve come to succeeding at the challenge in the five years I’ve been doing it. Of those 12 books, I’m already half-way through two of them.

Summer is in full swing with grasses turned gold and wildflowers towering over them in my yard. I can’t mow down a wildflower, so I’ll read instead. Stay in where it is cool… and read.

I’m reading It’s All in the Story: California (an anthology of California short stories) during 2020 – aiming for at least 4 stories per month. There are 24 short stories and so far I’ve liked all that I read. I created this page to make notes on the stories so I can remember them.

Book Lady’s April 2020 Reading Report

April 1, 2020 By Linda Jo Martin Leave a Comment

Life changed dramatically in the last month. I’m still reading, but I think I would have done better with my reading without all the drama.

I see this as a good time to set aside differences and do what we can to care for and support others regardless of religion, political affiliations, and reading speed.
