As we approach a new
year, the time comes for fresh ideas, resolutions, and commitments. I pondered
my New Year’s Resolution, mulling over what to give up or what to add to my
plate. Should I exercise more (which for me would mean I would have to start exercising),
eat healthier, spend less time at work… there are so many choices! In the end,
I selected an option far more selfish but also more enriching.
My goal for 2013 is
to read broader. I want to be brave in my selections, have a more open mind, and
try genres and authors never chosen before. I tend to stick with the same
categories, rarely straying far from my interest path. When it comes down to
it, I am rather hypocritical. As a teacher, I am always urging my students to
new books but on my own, I seldom heed my own advice. So in 2013, I am going to
read freely, without restraint, and prejudgment.
To all of you, I wish
you a joyous new year. May your 2013 be filled with laughter, friendship, good
health, happiness, and abundant book selections! – Karen
