7/15: I read another 15% of The Bromance Book Club.
7/16: I gave myself the afternoon off to read. I read up to 60% of The Bromance Book Club and I listened again to the first 20% of Frankenstein -- thank heavens for the audiobook because I was struggling with this one!
7/17: I read another 15% of The Bromance Book Club, I'm currently 75% into this book. I read/ listened to another 10% of Frankenstein. I'm currently 30% into it.
7/18: I finished Binti.
7/19-22: In the past few days I finished Frankenstein and I got up to 50% of Orion Lost.
7/23-28: Made progress on the books I was reading.
07/29: Finished Orion Lost.
7/30: Finished The Dark Days ClubThe Bromance Book Club.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I read it years ago but I want to read it again at some point.

Leticia, I find myself struggling to read anything that isn't a light read. My attention span is still very short. I don't have the patience for deeper books.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Janessa!
