Oh, April, thank goodness you are a thing of the past.
This month, I had my first true reading slump in years, which was frustrating. A two-week bout of anxiety, a death in the family, and a misguided jump onto the hype-train that was Ready Player One took all the wind out of my sails. I spent two weeks on a book that should have taken two days and I didn’t even like it. What a huge waste!
When it only took three days to make it through the 600 page beast that is Obsidio, I knew I was back to normal. After that, I cruised through the rest of the month.
Halfway through April, I received the syllabus for my summer class, Library Services for Young Adults. My goal is to have all the required books finished by the time the semester starts. (Yes, I am a crazy person. Embrace it.) I’ve already covered nearly half of the list and definitely think I can finish by the end of May.
