My Reading List 2020-2021

One of my 2020 goals was to read 20 books and I created a tickler list on a page to share what I was reading and might read. In the past, I was a voracious reader of books. I always had a few going at a time and read at least a couple a week. I still am a voracious reader, but I tend to do most of my reading online. This is really a shame since I feel like I have nothing to show for all my hard work. You can’t point to a pile of articles and blog posts like you can a pile of books that you’ve read over your life. So my goal was to move back to more actual books and less articles and blog posts.

Well, things didn’t go quite the way I anticipated in 2020. That was before I knew what the year was going to turn into. I’ve spent a massive amount of time reading and researching in 2020 and 2021, but not a lot of book reading. In retrospect, it would have been interesting to keep a list of all the articles and posts I’ve read. It would be massive. Oh well.




So I am moving this from a page on my website to a post as record of what I’ve read rather than an ongoing tickler list of what I hope to read. Some of these have said “Currently reading” for a long time. That’s just the way it is. Maybe I can still finish up a few.

I also know there are many short story, homeschooling, informational, and homemaking PDF ebooks missing. Since moving to Linux Mint Cinnamon, I’ve been organizing all of my books in Calibre. It has been fantastic for creating a catalog of the PDFs and ebooks that are here, there and everywhere on my laptop. So this 2020-21 list is incomplete and I’m going to keep adding to it over the next few weeks as I realize what I forgot to add (since keeping this list up-to-date went to the back burner). It’s more for my own personal record here on my blog than it is to impress anyone. I don’t read to impress people. I read books to escape, answer a question, or be encouraged.

Chit Chat

~ Okay, I figured out the answer to my experiment. It took ten days of trying to figure out the root problems, but it came to me this morning. Answer is in motion at the moment even though you can't see it yet on the public side. I think it will make everyone happy. ♥

~ I'm in the midst of My Two Week Experiment so if things look a bit off from time to time with the website design or layout, that's why. Thank you for your patience!

~ If you are new to my blog, please note that I often add additional information to the comments of posts. If a particular subject interests you, be sure to check the comments. 

~ Did you put on the Armor of God this morning? Ephesians 6:10-20
