  1. It looks like you actually enjoyed your reading more in January, although you read fewer books than you did in Feb. I finally got a copy of Mudbound! Not sure when I'll get to it, but I'm glad to have a copy.

  2. Nancy - Quality, not quantity. That's my new motto. :)

    Oh, don't wait too long to read Mudbound!! My SIL just finished and she loved it. We've been selling dozens and dozens at work.

  3. Yep, I'm shooting for quality over quantity, too. Sometimes I succeed.

    I'll probably save Mudbound for fall, simply because I tend to dislike reading about the South, once it heats up. We're almost in full green, here, so summer's coming. We'll see, though. I might sneak it in, anyway. :)
