Last night, I received this precious badge from Goodreads together with this lovely message:
“Congrats!
You have read 150 books of your goal of 150!”
Almost nine months and I am done. It was nice to discover new authors whose books were just as lovely as those I have read before. It was nice to discover new places. It was just lovely to add more books on my shelves and on my tab. I was even on a quandary what book to read last but I finally settled on Palladian. I was reminded of the book Jane Eyre at the outset. Palladian was first published in 1946, more than ten years before I was born. Much as there are negative reviews on the book, the positive ones far outweigh them. Such poetic prose, a string of words that warms the heart. Summaries and various reviews are posted on Goodreads, that is, if you have time to visit the site.
Hoping I could find more lovely books to read, reread those books that inspired me over the years, discover more memoirs, poems and fiction in the process.
Congratulations!! Most impressive! You set out to do it, and you did — in jig time!
