2023 ⤴
reading goal: 25 books - at least 3 non-fiction books
reading reality:
if a single book spans more than one month of reading, it is catagorized in the month I finished it.

Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow
currently
picked up a copy at my fave used book store while on vacation. familiar with the musical first; I couldn't help but hear the music of the prologue while reading the first chapter.

The Thing I'm Reading for Book Club (it's a secret)
read
since we each picked a different book this month, and I don't wanna spoil my choice 🤫

Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett
currently
on the shelf

The Long Game 1996-2003: The Inside Story of How the BBC Brought Back Doctor Who by Paul Hayes
set aside
after hearing Paul Hayes on The Doctor Who Show podcast, I was curious enough about this book to buy it. there may as well be a sticker on the cover that reads "for Whovians only" but nevertheless it is a worthwhile read and offers insight into the inner workings of the BBC. it's just, uh, dense.

Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley
set aside
started in april 2021 and was enjoying it right up until I set it aside! I am a distracted reader, but keen to pick this one back up.
