I'm getting a little tired of Tolkien.
There's nothing for it but to read, read, read. I'm determined to read it through!
I've been marking more vocabulary words. I'll write another post about vocabulary words, and then a nice concluding post regarding this [series of] book[s].

I'm turning thirty in just over a year.
About Me
- Krista
- I am a thirty-something daughter, sister, wife, Covenant College graduate, and friend...and now a mom(!). I like Calvinism, chocolate, carbohydrates, and moonlit walks on the beach. I am bilingual (es runaju Latviski). I'm an ENFP married to an ISXJ. Oh, and I am a transplanted Coloradan living in the South.
30 Books: The Rules
It has to be a book I've never read before.
It should be educational, influential, or otherwise important.
My 30 Books should be at least somewhat well-rounded.
I won't read anything that's not good for me.
...more rules to come.
