The Unread Self: Jan & Feb Recap

Step two: creating a book nook location
Make the library open and in plain site
The Unread Shelf blog coaches to make a spot for the unread shelf. It feels like a little bookstore i
n my house; a library open and in plain site.
I’ve got my cozy couch, book reading lamp and my shelf right within reach. 
Here is a copy of the 2020 calendar. 
January Reads from the Halverson Unread Bookshelf Nook:
A Princess in Theory by Cole
Look Both Ways by Reynolds (audio) 
I Like You by Warburg
Cancer by Greenall
Celebrating you by Clark
Daddy-Long Legs by Webster
Blue Horses by Oliver

February Reads from the Halverson Unread Bookshelf Nook:
When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Henry
Gods in Alabama by Jackson
The Selection by Cass


What did I learn?: I can pick a book and read right here in my house. In the mists of a crowded home, I can carve out a space that looks and feels like me. Bonus: Zero books purchased in the month of January.  February purchases: Mexico, Alaska, and Covenant all by Michener; Love in Ruin by McLain; 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenager by Covey.
Open Invite: I like to use Good Reads to track my books.
Follow me there and we can share reading ideas.

In May we waded through school work and watched the tulips bloom and fase. In June, the girls and I logged over 150 miles on the bikes.
