Day 7: A Glance At My December Reads

We are only a week into the month, but it IS the last month of the year. 

It's a time when we all take a glance at what we've read, what we want to read, authors we love and authors we are done trying. 

Well, let me make sure that what is on my reading plate this month reflects novels I want to sink my teeth into as the year closes.

I'm always talking (not really) about how my reading tastes reflect my personal true reading desires now that I'm not making BookTube videos or content online.

I find that I am more settled in my reading and I don't have that, "OH I have to buy/read/review THAT book" feeling anymore. There's nothing wrong with this, but for me it was tedious and a bit exhausting. Couple those feelings with my hectic life, and reading wasn't that fun anymore.

But I digress.... As I refreshed my kindle to the start of Anita Brookner's The Debut, I'm reminded of the giddy and excited feeling that I get when it's time to read yet another great novel.

My December is of to such a great start, and this is the feeling that I'll carry over into 2023;
Less books, but much BETTER books. Better for me. Better according to what I want to get out of literature. And ever so often, I want to pepper my deeper readings with historical romances (I read a few per year), contemporary novels, and nonfiction of all sorts.

Upcoming on my reading plate (but not all at once) I have

Yes, I'm still doing Tome Topple. Yes, I'm taking my time diving into these novels, but there are about 4 weeks left in this year. If I dedicate myself to these possibly transformative works, it will be plenty of time well spent.

Wishing you a great start to your reading month. Be well.
