What to read?

All the library books I requested arrived at the same time. How to prioritize? Do I start with the Scandinavian thriller or with the words penned by a religious rebel? Perhaps I’ll select the memoir of a father and son’s trip to Alaska.

Then there are the books on my Kindle—

And I must count the newspapers and magazines—

And the books to be read on my bookshelf, many of them found at library book sales. It’s comforting to have so many titles, but they’ll all be due at the same time. Some can be renewed and some will have a plethora of requests.

Then there are the books to read for a Bible study—

Then there are the books to read for the three challenges I selected. Do I read a book because it adds to the level I selected on a challenge?

Last year I dropped out of the Vintage Mystery Challenge when I found myself dreading the reading of yet another prim and proper mystery.

I think I’ll read the Scandinavian thriller—and worry about the consequences of my choice on another day.
