Come and escape from the world in some great books!
As a mood reader, bookish goals area a sort of movable feast - an inchoate mass of vague ambition and hopes. Will I be concerned if I don't meet these goals and ambitions? Not a bit! Is reading a chore or a joy? Definitely a joy for me, and a slavish adherence to goals neither motivates nor inspires me! If they do for you, then I am happy for you but it feels too rigid for me.
This is a little bit of a milestone: my first TTT as a fifty-year old... half a century. Realising that I pre-date the internet, Space Invaders, the Rubik's cube, Jaws and Concord was an eye-opnener. And realising that those people who I've always seen as 'old' were actually much younger than I am now is mind-boggling. And as my Dad is in the final stages of terminal cancer and is only 26 years older than I am now ... that's a humbling thought! Will my taste in reading suddenly change? Suddenly my TBR fill up with books about slippers and geraniums..? I doubt it! Anyway, this week's theme is to consider what goals I might want to achieve by the end of the year - those remaining three months.
