I did a lot of stuff this month! I know I say that every month, but I really mean it this time: I did a lot of stuff. I read a lot, yeah, but I also made a new header! And I commented (somewhat) more! I did the readathon, held a contest, sold two books, and opened up a lot of space on my bookshelves. I also rediscovered my Sony Reader and read a few books on it, though I keep giving myself headaches from bad posture while reading it. Um. Gotta work on fixing that, yep.
And probably most exciting of all was that this month I discovered that I DO enjoy contemporary fiction! Contemporary, literary fiction. I never thought I would, except for the odd duck or two like William Faulkner/James Joyce/etc. It just never seemed like my thing, you know? But reading Virginia Woolf’s books have turned on a switch or something because now I can’t get enough– although of course I don’t love EVERY lit fiction book I try. But I’m glad I’ve expanded my reading horizons, because now there’s tons more books I can read! Yay!
For May I’m planning on catching up on reviews, writing a few more non-review/meme posts (sort of like the ones I did this week?), and working on my other blog. After the semester ends in the second week I’m also planning on starting my summer reading list. I’m thinking A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man first, then Ulysses. I also want to revamp a few things around here but I haven’t made my mind up as to what, exactly, I want to revamp. I think I just want to spruce things up overall, sort of like a spring clean!
What are you looking forward to doing in May? Do you have anything special planned? I know the wacky weather we’ve been having in the US isn’t real conducive to thoughts of summer, but I’m still excited for it!
