Predictions or Wishes

Yet another month has waved a fascinating bundle of reading at me and deep in my heart I know I will never get to experience all that literate goodness. But wait: perhaps I should dedicate a month’s reading pool to the very books I have been suggesting to other people.

Whoa! Actually read the books I recommend others read? What a concept!

Well, I read a couple already and probably have about a dozen titles either on my bookshelves or stashed away in Calibre for reading on Marvin. Added to the dozen suggested titles I have available one or two bucket list titles, throw in a smattering of those books that have been waving their hands each month, and I will have a great reading list for next month.

I’ll start working on it immediately but I don’t want to forget the October reading pool I just posted.

Books. Books. Books.
