Last Post of the Year!

 Last Post of the Year!

  I'm proud of the way this blog has endured (for close to two decades at this point!)  The 1,001 Novels: A Library of America project has been a huge boost for this blog.  I started in June of 2023 and 18 months later I've finished Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachussets, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington DC with Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina partially complete. I figure I'm something like 25 percent of the way through.  There have been many many many coming-of-age type books written from the perspective of adolescent girls and not enough older books but I've found it a valuable exercise.  Certainly, the domestic fiction is a good change from the fiction in translation and more esoteric titles I tend to prefer if left to my own devices. 

   2025 promises more of the same!  I will certainly wrap up the Virginia/North Carolina/South Carolina chapter in early 2025, then I will be moving on to both Pennsylvania and Georgia- two chapters at once for 2025.  Beyond that a recent career update means less driving and therefore fewer Audiobooks so enjoy the Audiobook heavy content of next year before it goes the way of my local music coverage.

   See everyone next year!!! Hope all my readers had a great one!  Thanks for reading.
