The Sabbatical

Through the months of March and April, I read one book.  One book.  Never have I read so little.

Why?

  1. Busy schedule.  Just too busy.  I must slow down and make better choices, mainly ones that relate to my teaching schedule.  Just too much.
  2. Technology.  I find that when tired, reaching for my phone and mindlessly strolling is just too easy.  Getting into and learning about another book's life was just more energy than I had any interest in obtaining.  Just crazy, right?
Having typed those reasons, I may read lazy between the lines?!   This is not a word that I like to associate with myself.  (In my defense, this school year has been one of the more busiest ones ever!)

Summer is here...and reading is back!  For my first series, I am reading a book of ten (short) novels (novelettes?) about a family from Strawberry Sands, Michigan.  This has been a great way to dive back into a world that is not my own.

Next up:  a who-done-it series!  Then, all my books I missed for several book clubs.

I am looking forward to a busy summer of travel via books!
