Soooo, now that I’m almost sorta caught up on all my old postings, and in honor of the official beginning of summer, I can tell you about my summer reading goals:

1. Catch up posts on my OWN damn Pride and Prejudice challenge.
2. Catch up posts on all the books I’ve read lately (ten plus!)
   
3. Catch up on my Goodreads challenge: now currently SIX books behind.
4. Read some of the classics I have somehow neglected to read during my various pursuits as an English major, avid pleasure reader, and teacher, mostly so I can stop feeling guilty and uneducated. This list will include a number of never-reads, half-reads, and much-needed rereads. Up first, 1984 and Brave New World.
5. Read some brainless, easy fiction to relax, likely YA.
6. Enforce the minimum three hours per week family reading time so our brains don’t turn to mush (you know, with all the sleeping-in, sunburning, Doctor Who-watching, and video gaming we’re doing in our unstructured time).
7. Make regular library outings so the kiddos can keep up on their summer reading logs and I can avoid spending $$$ on books!
