I'm not sure that it is having that effect!DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-17546429284477491382016-02-07T02:10:33.060+00:002016-02-07T02:10:33.060+00:00In place of a list I start out with a mindset to t...In place of a list I start out with a mindset to try and read 52 books during the year - pre-reading novels/lit for the children counts, as do family read-alouds and audio books :)<br />A set list would me feel *really* pressured; however, I do pop some books in my optional bookbasket to read thru if I feel like it.<br />I enjoyed Bleak House too, and only recently went through it for the first time.<br />One book I'm currently enjoying reading, and you may too? ,is The Tartan Pimpernel ~ Donald Caskie (Scots Kirk minister based in Paris during the end of the WWII.)<br />Happy reading!!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-6470745298771220782016-02-06T20:25:06.220+00:002016-02-06T20:25:06.220+00:00I have books set aside to read for this year, but ...I have books set aside to read for this year, but not many, so it's not much pressure. I haven't ever joined a reading list with others. I like the sound of the Shakespeare book, as although I did some of his plays at school and university, that is quite different to reading them with my own children :-)Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01890597606261533507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-55572981644941003802016-02-06T14:38:22.959+00:002016-02-06T14:38:22.959+00:00I think that I am beginning to agree with you abou...I think that I am beginning to agree with you about reading lists. I don't think that I have felt stressed about reading before. I will see how it goes. Interesting, I have found Ludwig helpful but I don't think my younger two would manage the plays straight off. Will look you up on Goods reads as I joined in January.

I don't need any extra stress....<br /><br />The Ludwig Shakespeare book did not meet with my kids' approval. They just want to watch the plays...and that is probably what it's about at this stage. Now my adult kids watch Shakespeare for fun, and now they are old enough to start to understand him with their hearts as well as their minds.<br /><br />This year my reading goal is to list every book I read on GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/4244265 <br /><br />I was planning to read no more than 52 books, but it looks as though that won't work.Annie Katehttp://anniekateshomeschoolreviews.com/noreply@blogger.com
