After Grandpa passed in November, I did almost nothing blog-related for months. My brain's response to hard/traumatic things is to focus solely on reading. I'm still not okay, he was my first best friend. I cry every single day and call his phone often, to hear his voice on his outgoing message.
However, we had some candid talks about death in the last few years and I know his wish for me has always been to go on without him, so that's what I'm finally ready to start doing.
Since spring is here, I am doing a mini challenge to help me refocus. I am focusing more on ARC reviews than reading from the TBR, because I am SO behind. And while we're on the topic of ARCs, my Kindle is being stupid. I charged it the other day and started reading when it was done. I got about a paragraph in when the screen changed to an empty battery. No trouble-shooting I tried has fixed it so I think it is safe to say Kindle II is dunzo. Awesome.
Anyway, here are my spring goals!
1. Review at least 20 ARCS - My current NetGalley ratio is 67%. But NetGalley and publishers keep offering me books, so what am I supposed to do?!
2. Review at least 10 non-ARCs - These books need love too. Or hate, depending on which book we are talking about.
3. Read at least 5 books from the TBR - fat chance, I have a ton of library books checked out right now, but I can pretend this will happen.
What are you up to reading-wise this spring? Let me know!
