My word of the year is mindful. In 2018 my goal is to employ more mindfulness in my reading habits. I’d like to read more books and also let go of a novel or a nonfiction read if it isn’t holding my interest. I am making an effort to revisit classics, read more novels and move outside of my comfort zone with book picks I wouldn’t necessarily choose. Reading not only helps me learn about the world, but it has a direct impact on my writing. Here is what is on my bookshelf:
Who Will Run the Frog Hospital by Lorrie Moore
Tell Me More by Kelly Corrigan
We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby
The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld
300 Arguments by Sara Manguso
What is on your bookshelf?
I’m reading The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce. It’s taking me a surprisingly long time, but I do like it.
I’m reading a new Jane Green book. Her last one didn’t do it for me but this one is working.
