It's my personally designated first Monday of my summer break! I took a look around at my stacks (and stacks, and stacks) of books, and sighed about those I've started but not completed. SO, my goal this week is to finish these:
and start these:
The grown-up books are A Case of Exploding Mangoes, fiction by Mohammed Hanif (a gift from my brother; reminds me of a Middle Eastern Tom Clancy novel) and Educated, a memoir by Tara Westover (so painful, I've been reading it in chunks, almost done). Shout is a memoir by Laurie Halse Anderson; I read Anderson's Speak in my YA lit class, a jarring fictionalized account of the aftermath of sexual assault.
The personal learning books are 10% Happier by Dan Harris, Keep Going by Austin Kleon, and The Crossroads of Should and Must by Elle Luna (a recommendation from a writing workshop I'm taking).
The kidlit titles are Bluebonnet Award nominees Wishtree by Katherine Applegate, Captain Superlative by J.S. Puller, and The Adventures of a Girl Called Bicycle by Christina Uss. I'm going to finish the classic Matilda by Roald Dahl.
And then there's the most daunting, stretch-my-reading-limits book of the summer, the one I feel I must read:
It's Monday; what unfinished book reading are you planning on accomplishing this week? What book is stretching you as a reader?
