The Reading Life Review. - July 2024 - Future Plans and Hopes


 

The Reading Life has entered year fiveteen. I expect to pass  8,000,000 Pages views in August.

During July I posted on three short stories by Carol Shields (I am following a read along of all her stories initiated by Buried in Print).

In July for the 14th time I partipated in a wonderful event, Paris in July.

Future plans

I am currently reading two novels, Yellowface by R.K. Kuang and Fortunes of War-The Balkan Trilogy by Olivia Manning. Additionally I am reading Jerusalem-The Biography of a City

I will continue reading short stories by Carol Shields.

I am also considering watching and posting on a few S/F films from the 1950s, all available on YouTube

  1. I'm so pleased you're enjoying Carol Shields short stories: lovely to have company with a good read.

    And that Olivia Manning set: I've heard so many good things, but have yet to begin.
