I’d love an update on what you’ve been reading lately. (Sorry, I’m a bit of a “books read” list addict.)
Comment by Jessica— August 16, 2011 #
Just for you, my dear!
Comment by Jessica Denham— August 17, 2011 #
Yay! Thank you. I know you have a lot going on at the moment, but I love to see these lists.
Comment by Jessica— August 17, 2011 #
Note to self: These things are much easier to keep up to date when we do it every day! I had the titles and dates, but usually not the author’s name and definitely not the number of pages. Kept meaning to get around to it…
Comment by Jessica Denham— August 19, 2011 #
I’d love to see where you ended up for the year. I hope all is well with your new career.
Comment by Jessica— January 4, 2012 #
Hmph… It looks like my attempt to copy in part of my reading spreadsheet didn’t fare so well. I’ll give it another go some time next week. At least you can read the titles for now.
Comment by Jessica Denham— January 22, 2012 #
Whew! You did well in 2011. Thanks for posting these. I do miss your postings, but I’m hope you’re very busy writing elsewhere!
