I'm always excited about a new year beginning, no matter if the prior year was good or bad. I'm especially excited for 2022 as there are so many good books publishing this year by some of my favorite authors.
Having just finished a monthly book club meeting I know a bunch of people in the club who will be interested to consider this author. I will just forward this post and expect that Substack will do the rest! Another great post and a positive profile and format. As for the plan. I love the beginning of most anything. It is getting to the midpoint that is the challenge for me. Habits and change take time. I am shooting for new genres to mix into my reading and finding five authors I like and didn't know about. Have a great reading year.
I'm glad there are some in your book club that might enjoy her books. I know how much I enjoyed the one I read and how much I'm looking forward to the other two. I hope you have a great reading year also.
My first book of the year was "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Very short in length, very small book, could have finished it in the line at the DMV. To short books count when we wrap up the year?
To me, any book read or listened to, short or long, counts as a book read and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise. There are readers that only think holding a real book is a book read and I've seen some nasty arguments on FB because of this. It makes me sad that all these people do is cause problems by starting stupid conversations in FB "books and reading" groups by making stupid comments like that. You do you is my motto. :)
The rise of trolls is what led to my leaving FB many years ago despite its merits. It has all but driven me off of twitter for the same reason. I had a wonderful person who made twitter worthwhile named Noah Smith. He goes by the pen name @Noahpinion which I thought clever. He is a thoughtful writer for Bloomberg as his regular job. I followed him to Substack and he is the reason I joined and discovered the service. He is an example of a person who does himself well. I like you do you. There is a comedian named Ron White who does a schtick "You Can't Fix Stupid"
I hate it when I have a disappointing reading year. They seem to come more often than I'd like (which is never). I hope 2022 is better for you!
I'm sure it will be as I'm going to make it a better year. I'm going to be more intentional in what I read. I hope you have a great reading year also.
Thing are going to turn around in 2022, I can feel it!

The Girl with White Gloves sounds like an exciting take in Grace!
I love novels about Grace Kelly and there are many out there. I've read several of them and I hope to read this one this year.
Thanks for this. I have enjoyed that type of fiction in recent years and look forward to reading these books.
I'm glad you found more books to read. Everyone always needs more books.
