Well, September is at an end and it went by at snail's pace. School started up again and let me tell you, the kids' social skills have suffered mightily after a year and a half of quarantine. Trying to get back into the groove has felt interminable. By the time I get home each day, I'm too exhausted to think clearly, never mind pick up a book. As a result, I read a little bit less than I wanted this month, although I did finish most of what I set out to do. Here's what I finished:
75 pages of Les Misérables
In October, I'm going to plan conservatively again. I'm hoping for things to settle down a bit in my work life so I can read a little more, but I don't want to pressure myself. I'm going to try and read another book off my Classics Club list and then get through a few random books from my shelves. My plan is:
Orlando by Virginia Woolf
At least two books chosen from my owned-not-read list based on my mood
At least 100 pages of Les Misérables
I'm a little bit worried about Orlando, and it's not my preferred genre of classic, but it isn't too long. Hopefully it'll go quickly. Maybe I'll read something spooky too if I am feeling the Halloween spirit. Honestly, I'd just be happy to enjoy reading something without constantly falling asleep.
