Granny_Weatherwax Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Happy birthday, Robin! Thank you for the prompt to begin planning next year's reading. Thanks to this group I know one of my books will be another Haruki Murakami. I think I may tackle one of his larger books. Weep with me, readers - our library has shut down due to two librarians testing positive for COVID. Our librarians have been wonderful this year with maintaining online programming and curbside pickup. I am certain scores of other librarians have done just as much. As of now, our only available resources are the online e-book apps (Libby and Overdrive). I'm good for a while as my TBR pile is extensive and my DGD has a series she wants me to read but my heart aches for the librarians, their families, and our community which has lost (hopefully temporarily) this precious resource.

mumto2 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 @The Accidental CoachI will be following tradition and starting the year reading a Murakami. I never finished my reread of 1q84 this year so plan to restart that one. I am grateful my kindle will remember where I am after 10 month! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably The Space Trilogy for C.S. Lewis and I've never read Wilkie Collins (so not a reread for me). I did well in 2020 in not re-reading anything* (except the Bible). *I read some books in Spanish that I had previously read in English, but I am not counting those at re-reads. There are a few books that I have been itching to re-read this year, so I'm not planning to go two years in a row with reading only new books. However, I may re-visit the idea for 2022. It has been a great way to clear out my TBR shelves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Books I currently have in my stacks but haven't read which I've been meaning too Middlemarch - George Eliot Atlas Shrugged -Ayn Rand Red and the Black - Stendhal In the Shadow of Young Girls (Vol2 Insearch of lost time) - Proust Count of Monte Cristo - Dumas The Complete Father Brown - Chesterton Plus a virtual copy of Zamyatin's We which is rather short. I know I won't get to all of them this year, but hopefully at least three 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny_Weatherwax Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 If enough of us are planning on reading The Count of Monte Cristo, maybe we could do a group read? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no! I hope that the librarians will soon recover and that your library will be able to reopen. I would sorely miss my library were it to close again.

One of my favorite historical fiction authors is Julia Quinn and one of her most enjoyable series is Bridgerton which is the story of eight siblings who are the children of a Viscount and are named from A-H. There is also a society gossip columnist called Lady Whistledown who is anonymous and rather notorious. A very enjoyable read. Now Netflix and Shonda Rhimes have come up with a series, with Lady Whistledown voiced by Julie Andrews. Starts on Christmas Day, 2020 The Books https://juliaquinn.com/series/bridgertons/ The trailer Adding this author to my library wish list! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
