in my mailbox: one

So this is more like two weeks of book hauling, because despite having them for so long, I have only started reading one of these books:

From the Library

The Queen of Kentucky by Alecia Whitaker

The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Love? Maybe.  by Heather Hepler

The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers by Lynn Weingarten

Roam  by Alan Lazar

Purchased

Ruthless by Sara Shepard

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

Matched by Ally Condie

The Flight of Gemma Hardy by Margot Livesey

 Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Look!  Required reading!  Yay me!  Too many exclamation points!

updates, yay!

So I've had some time (obviously longer than "tomorrow" would seem to indicate) to decide what this blog will, and won't be.

I want to read more classics, and the ones that I never read in high school seem like a good place to start.  But in addition to that, I want to read books I enjoy reading, regularly, with prose I understand without a dictionary and critical thinking skills.

So Re-Reading High School will still be about those books, but it will probably be more about other books.  If you can handle that, excellent.  If not, then...I don't know what to tell you.

Hopefully devoting more effort to books I enjoy and less on creating this fabulously intellectual project that means nothing if I'm not committed, will make RRHS more successful and less...well, abandoned.

re-reading who?

So it's been what, seven months since I've posted on this blog?  And do you know how many "Required Reading" titles I've read?  Nada.

I think, in theory, this blog was and still is a good idea.  My execution?  Not so great.  I ranted about having to read a book on someone else's schedule, and what did I do?  I gave myself a schedule.  And I threw it out the window and cheated on it with non-required book after non-required book.  I turned this project into something I didn't want it to be and abandoned it as a result.

I don't want Re-Reading High School to be all about high school books, but at it's core, that's what it is SUPPOSED to be about.  This is a project that I started and stalled on, yet still want to finish.  It may take some time to figure out how I want to do it, and what exactly this blog should be, but Re-Reading High School will continue in some shape or form.

Just not today.  Maybe tomorrow?  Tomorrow sounds good.
