I hope that everyone is starting off their new year well. My Toyota got crunched up this morning on my way to dropping my daughter at school so I guess I'm starting off with a bang. My goal for the upcoming year in reading is simply to read what I already have and reduce my book purchases significantly. I tried that before, and it didn't work out so well. However, I'm going to give it another go. Trading and trade-in credits are acceptable though...oh, and gift cards...and the books that I have to get for book club because really what choice do I have there? Maybe exceptions for Harlan Coben and any Stephanie Plum novels. Those don't really count, right?
Another goal is to read more comforting books once and a while. So on that note I am starting with the second book in the series following The Marriage Bureau for Rich People by Farahad Zama. The first book was funny, set in India, and simply an entertaining read. Perfect for me. Therefore, I am beginning The Many Conditions of Love.

I hope you and your daughter are okay after the accident. Also, good luck with the cutting back book purchases. :) If you're like me you can always find a reason why you NEED this book or HAVE to have that book.
Yep, me too. I can justify almost anything. :) Thanks about the accident. We're okay.
Oh no! So glad you're OK! I'm still trying to finish up "A Beautiful Mind".
Hi Jody! I'm so happy to hear from you. :)
I haven't read A Beautiful Mind. How is it?
How terrible about the accident, Christine! I'm so glad you both are okay.
Sounds like your reading has gotten off to a good start this year!
So glad to hear you and your daughter are okay.
Sure, the trade-ins and gift cards and book club purchases are all legit, lol.
I want to pick up one of the Zama books; I've read such great things about them and I don't ordinarily read much set in India.
Christine--I didn't even realize you commented back! I just got done today with "A Beautiful Mind" and it was such hard work to read. I didn't like the way it was written..sort of like a very long, dry essay or report. The movie, imho, was a million times better. (I can't believe I'm saying that)
