Oh my god, January felt like it would never end. I know there are only two days left, but I still kind of feel like February will never come. I guess on the plus side, plenty of time for reading? No, wait, that's a lie, it felt like forever because there was so much going on, which meant NOT PLENTY OF TIME FOR READING. Of course, though, I picked a super long book for challenge #18, so I am not done with that one yet. (Surprised? I didn't think so.)
I DID, however, finish The Red Pyramid, and thus challenge #9, AND I read the shortest book of poetry I've ever seen, which checks off challenge #12, reading a poetry collection. I probably could have written that in a different way so it didn't seem like I purposely chose the shortest book of poetry I've ever seen, but it's already written, I can't go back.
For the record, that is not at all what I did. We did a virtual program with a local author at my former job before I left, and his latest book was added to the library's collection, so I put a hold on it and THEN discovered that it was the shortest book of poetry I'd ever seen. Worked out well for me, though, since I was behind on finishing two challenges for January and my hold came in just in time to read it before the month ended. Also worked out well for me because it was a good book!
Anyhoo, February is up! I guess I'll keep chipping away at House of Earth and Blood as one of my challenges...should I choose three challenges just in case, though? Might be a good idea.
Due to kismet in library holds, my second challenge will be #24: Pick a challenge from any of the previous years' challenges to repeat. I chose Read an Audiobook of Poetry from 2020's challenges and am VERY excited to listen to The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman. 💜
I'm torn on what to do for a third challenge, so I guess I'll see how I feel if it's taking a long time to get through my lingering January challenge. In the meantime, what challenge would you pick for #24?
