I hate doing it, but I'm abandoning Michael Donkor's Housegirl. I kept trying to pick it up, but I guess I'm just not in the right place for it. I can tell that it's probably excellent so I'll try again at some point. I'm continuing to struggle with page count. I'll give it another week, but I think I might need to set a different goal. I'm generally coming in at around 100 pages
Short List for the Week:
- Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff (Ryan's Recommendation)
- The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (Tsundoku Stack - Classroom Library)
The Mortal Word by Genevieve Cogman (Dekalb Library)- Finished 1/23/2019- Odd One Out by Nic Stone (Dekalb Library)
- War Cross by Marie Lu (Dekalb Library)
- Elevation by Stephen King (Dekalb Library)
- Grammar to Get Things Done by Darren Crovitz and Michelle Deveraux (Pedagogy Book for January)
I've been library heavy for a couple of weeks now. I tend to run through phases and right now I'm loving the library. However, I'm only slated for 50 library books. . . I'm already at six which means if I stick to this pace I'll read 144 library books -- big win for the library system, but it's not the goal. Maybe I'll declare a week of Tsundoku love for February... although it occurs to me that the nebulous other category is going to be the real problem.
In other words...it's time to diversify posts.
