I got a lot of reading done in August, and I hope September is fairly productive as well. But 16 books productive? We’ll have to see. I need to get The Appearance of Power formatted, so that takes precedence, but I should still be able […]
My stretch reading goal for 2026 is currently 100 books. I am at 98 for the end of August, so I will need to set a new stretch goal for the year soon. August was a success. I completed all my Tier One reads. This […]
My first blind date with a book a couple of months ago went well – I got a book I will actually read and I might even enjoy. A quick recap of that book first – before I move on to today’s blind date. The […]
