I looked forward to several things as I approached retirement in January of 2024: more travel, get serious about writing my novel, reach out and reconnect with family and friends who live far from me, exercise more, and finally, but certainly not least, READ MORE. I believe I have indeed accomplished all of them, but the one that has brought me the most joy, the one that has reminded me of who I have always been – a reader – has been to discover new authors, new genres, and to read freely whenever I want to, with no worries about lesson plans, grading essays, communicating with parents, and all the jillions of other tasks of a teacher.
Thank you to NetGalley for all the great ARCs found in my first quarter tally. I have loved reading some debut novels and discovering new favorite authors!
Here are my reading statistics for the first quarter of this year! I hope you find something new to read and I hope you enjoy it!
Happy Reading, Everyone!
