Yesterday, a cold, gray, rainy day, I spent the majority of it within the covers of a book..and had the best of times.
My daughter has decided she wants to read the Harry Potter series, and as I had begun reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone last semester (he was not successful, and I sat aside the book in the busyness of the season), I picked this one up again and spent some time with Harry and his friends (and enemies), reacquainting myself with the details of the novel. That's right...no movie includes all! A good way to begin 2022' reading goals; plus, this one fits within several categories of the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge! Yay! AND...The Daughter already has begun reading the book! Win!
My second read...Christmas Next Door, a collection of four short, intertwined stories...concludes my reading the books I bought to give as gifts for the 2021 Christmas season. Faith-based, these stories are ones that could be read and then set aside...except yesterday, once I picked up the book again, I read to the end! Set in the 1800s, conflicts fit the setting yet are applicable to today. Engaging!
AND..I have begun reading Gone with the Wind! I took the book to school...and left it there, for I had hoped to read several chapters this weekend. Hummmm.... BUT...as I chatted about my book challenges for 2022, a couple of students said they, too, would read the book...and, just like that, a book club was formed! Yay!
Sweet Taste of Muscadines will be my next read...for Lyon College Alumni Book Club, along with my continued reread of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Happy Reading!
