EBI am the worst read-along participant/organizer ever. I read Further Tales of the City, the third book in the series, almost two months ago and never posted about it. And I haven’t read the rest of them yet! The saddest part is that includes Mary Ann in Autumn, which went on sale October 4th. That’s the only Tales of the City book I haven’t read, and I definitely would have read it months ago if I hadn’t set the goal for myself of re-reading the entire series.
My failure at my goal should not in any way be attributed to the quality of the books. In fact, they’re some of the most fun ones I’ve read this year! I think I might have just aimed a bit too high. I need to face it—read-alongs of multiple books are not my strong suit. While I’ll certainly get to the rest of the series again someday, I think it’s time I skip ahead to Mary Ann and let myself enjoy it.
Have you ever set yourself a reading goal and then completely failed to meet it—even if you really wanted to read the books?
