So far I'm on track reading 200 pages a day on average, but it is becoming clear that once school starts back that finding the time to squeeze in 200 pages is going to be a challenge. I suppose it'll depend greatly on what I'm trying read.
I'm currently reading Nnedi Okorafor's Who Fears Death which won a World Fantasy Award in 2011 and has been optioned as an HBO TV series. Between this, the Akata Witch series, and the Binti Series, I am becoming quite an Okorafor fan. She writes African-based science fiction and fantasy for a broad range of audiences. Everything of hers that I've read, I've loved. In fact, I should track down all the rest of her works to read. Her website is here if you are interested.
On the short list for next weeks reading:
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor (Dekalb Library)- Finished 1/7/2019- Housegirl by Michael Donkor (Dekalb Library)
The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater (School Library)- Finished 1/12/2019- Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff (Ryan's Recommendation)
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson (Tsundoku Pile)- Finished 1/10/2019- Grammar to Get Things Done by Darren Crovitz and Michelle Devereaux (Pedagogy Book for January)
In terms of my reviews, I've noticed a problem. I feel constrained in my reviewing on Goodreads. Because of the format and the very public-ness of it, I am sometimes finding that I have more to say about a book than I feel comfortable sharing there. I guess it is the difference between reviewing on a blog and reviewing on a public website. Since I'm cross posting my reviews to the blog I'll have to think about how to address that in this format.
