Comments: I didn't quite reach my goal of 5 books in one week, but I came pretty darn close. I'll be finished with College Girls probably Tuesday. It's a dense history book so it takes me a bit longer to read. Overall, I am very happy with what I read this past week. Very excited to continue the reading momentum!

Goals:

  • Read 5 books
  • Read 1000 pages ✓
  • Review all books read ✓
  • Read books only from my shelves -- I failed a bit at this by reading The Hazel Wood, but I justify the exception because I had to wait on the library hold. 

TBR Pile:

  • Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham ✓
  • College Girls by Lynn Peril (in progress)
  • Unspoken by Sarah Brennan ✓
  • Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
  • The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle
  • Little Bee by Chris Cleave ✓
  • The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
