Myra here.
Every Saturday we hope to share with you our thoughts on reading and books. We thought that it would be good practice to reflect on our reading lives and our thoughts about reading in general. While on occasion, we would feature a few books in keeping with this, there would be a few posts where we will just write about our thoughts on read-alouds, libraries, reading journals, upcoming literary conferences, books that we are excited about, and just book love miscellany in general.
GatheringBooks is very excited to be celebrating its 10th year Blogiversary!
The whole month of July will be devoted to sharing our List of 10 for GatheringBooks’ 10 years in 2020 – #GB101020.
At the beginning of the year, we announced that we are determined to read more international (translated) literature this year. Here is a list of ten books (in no particular order) I hope to get to by end of the year. I doubt if I will be able to realistically read them all, but hey, good intentions count for something, right?
