Looking back on the last year - and as a teacher I am counting it from September - it has been a nightmare! Genuinely. New schools, hospitalisations, a cancer scare, our landlord choosing to evict us, the search for a new home, mortgage and legal issues, my father's sudden health deterioration, death and funeral, chaos at work... The idea of sending this year on its way with a very bookish summer, in a new house that I have finally been able to own rather than rent - with all the security that that will bring - would be delightful, however. And this week's theme is a celebration of all things bookish and the chance to grant each other a little gift, or at least revel in our wishes for the Summer.

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Goals for 2024
As a mood reader, bookish goals area a sort of movable feast - an inchoate mass of vague ambition and hopes. Will I be concerned ifโI 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.
