2018 Reading Goals

2018 Reading Goals I've decided to hit up 200 books on Goodreads again. However, even though I hit over 200 books last year, I was not keeping up with Goodreads as much--so I lost about 10 books. ...

  • Reading #whitehouses by #amybloom. It’s a cool book thus far, fast read and interesting descriptions. Blurb:: Lorena Hickok meets Eleanor Roosevelt in 1932 while reporting on Franklin Roosevelt’s first presidential campaign. Having grown up worse than poor in South Dakota and reinvented herself as the most prominent woman reporter in America, “Hick,” as she’s known to her friends and admirers, is not quite instantly charmed by the idealistic, patrician Eleanor. But then, as her connection with the future first lady deepens into intimacy, what begins as a powerful passion matures into a lasting love, and a life that Hick never expected to have. She moves into the White House, where her status as “first friend” is an open secret, as are FDR’s own lovers. After she takes a job in the Roosevelt administration, promoting and protecting both Roosevelts, she comes to know Franklin not only as a great president but as a complicated rival and an irresistible friend, capable of changing lives even after his death. Through it all, even as Hick’s bond with Eleanor is tested by forces both extraordinary and common, and as she grows as a woman and a writer, she never loses sight of the love of her life. #bookcrossingbook #rcbp #hardcoverbookcrossing
  • Hopefully this is book #33 for the month and 2019... I forgot how much I enjoyed the writing of this series and I really want to see the movie upon which this book is based. But, I usually read the book before seeing the movie. What about you? #milenniumseries #steiglarsson #booksbeforemovies #thriller
