Okmama I am currently 10 books behind in my goal to read 30 books this year according to the Goodreads tracker on my home page.

So far I've read 11 books:

Organizing for the Creative Person Right-Brain Styles for Conquering Clutter, Mastering Time, and Reaching Your Goals by Dorothy Lehmkuhl Dear Life Stories by Alice Munro All the Broken Things by Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer Last Child in the Woods Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv Time Management for the Creative Person by Lee Silber My Best Stories by Alice Munro The Other Side of Sadness What the New Science of Bereavement Tells Us About Life After Loss by George A. Bonanno The Orenda by Joseph Boyden A Beautiful Anarchy, When the Life Creative Becomes the Life Created by David duChemin The War of Art Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield Stitches a handbook on meaning, hope, and repair by Anne Lamott

I'm currently reading Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden
which I'm really enjoying, but I doubt will be a quick read for me. When I was reading the Orenda, I kept slowing down to savour the story longer. This seems grittier and I doubt that I'll want to savour the WWI story line as much.

I've noticed that I prefer reading 'heavy' writers whose stories stay with me and linger. Hard to keep up a quicker reading pace reading these books, though.

Okmama Loved Three Day Road, but a slow read from Boyden again. Lots to digest and think about.

Now for some quicker fare. Next up will be Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. My husband promises me that it's a quick read.
