    I finally got this back after having to return it to the library. I’m struggling to get through it as I don’t typically read a lot of fiction but I’ve been craving more … I’m not sure what, something in the female experience.

    There are all these great thoughtful tidbits surrounded by pages of the most bland happenings and descriptions of the setting. The story isn’t really doing it for me either although I think that’s intentional? Is the plot going to do something soon, or..?

    Finish a Book a Day Challenge (October 2025)

    Hi Friends! Similar to what @one_crazy_eliott did last month with starting a book a day this month I'll be embarking on a challenge to finish a book every day of October! (Last year I ended up averaging about 179 pages a day I believe.) The rules for myself are simple:

    1. Finish a book everyday of October. (I use the word 'book' lightly. What I generally mean is a published work of fiction or nonfiction. The shortest book on my list this year is 44 pages.)
    2. All books must be started in October...can't use anything I started before then. (Books don't need to be started and finished all in one day. So long as I started reading them in October, they are fair game.) Time to see if this will be an annual occurrence or not! 😂

    Goals: Read a book everyday of October! Attempt for an average of 185 pages a day.

    October 1: The Chibok Girls by Helon Habila— 124 pgs October 2: A Desperate Road to Freedom by Karleen Bradford— 240 pgs October 3: A River in Darkness by Masaji Ishikawa-- 174 pgs October 4: Footsteps in the Snow by Carol Matas-- 185 pgs October 5: October 6: October 7: October 8: October 9: October 10: October 11: October 12: October 13: October 14: October 15: October 16: October 17: October 18: October 19: October 20: October 21: October 22: October 23: October 24: October 25: October 26: October 27: October 28: October 29: October 30: October 31:

    Page total: 723 Average pages per day: 180

    Cheap labor in the U.S. = more global power for the U.S. dollar 🤯 no wonder no one can keep up anymore. I know folks say it’s designed that way but it’s DESIGNED THAT WAY!?
