As usual, I had planned to read at least 52 books in 2017. This did not happen. I barely made it to the halfway point, mainly because of my teaching schedule. If only I could count those 400+ papers I had to read from my students this past year. But that isn't quite literature, is it? The good news is that I'm not longer teaching as an adjunct professor. My MFA thesis is on the horizon and I knew I couldn't devote enough time to researching/writing if I had other things on my plate. I'll have no excuses if I don't reach my reading goals in 2018.
Disclaimer: I read mostly "cozy" mysteries in 2017...because if I didn't read something easy, I wouldn't have had the strength to read at all (again, so many student papers). I love M.C. Beaton's books--even if they aren't considered "high" literature. Better to read something than nothing, right?
