Whose idea was this?
23 June 2010
Every once in awhile, I find myself thinking, “Okay, why did I think that was a good idea?”
Two weeks ago, I signed up to receive newsletters from Rainy Day Books, an indie bookstore here in Kansas City with more clout in the industry than you would assume at first glance.
BAD IDEA, STEPHANIE.
So far, all this has done is add to my reading list. Because, well, Vivien Jennings says I should read it, and the woman knows what she’s talking about! The newsletter appears to come once a week. The most recent one highlights five summer reads that all look fabulous to me. And so onto the Goodreads list they go. I don’t even want to do the math on how long my reading list is going to be when I’m adding 5 books for every 1 I complete.
I guess the newsletter hasn’t only added to my reading list. It’s also pointed out my vast ignorance regarding literature, because I haven’t heard of 3/4 of the authors they highlight.
Why did I think signing up for their newsletter was a good idea?
And happy birthday to my mom who I can count on for anything, including faithfully reading my blog everyday.
