I did have success on one #14Books14Weeks boards. #LibraryEdition for the win! And on the bright said my list of library holds is down 14 books. It‘s still 40+ so we are still struggling.

Thank you @Liz_M for hosting this challenge I needed it.

Liz_M Your multiple boards were inspiring! I'm happy to see that you had some success. 1w

Unfortunately, my #OwnedEdition of #14Books14Weeks did not see completion either. But I tried and did get a few books (5/14) off my TBR so still a win, right?

With one week left I can accept I‘m not going to read the 11 outstanding books in my #ARCEdition of #14Books14Weeks I did enjoy this challenge and I thank @Liz_M for hosting.

Read this one back in 2006 but figured I‘d share some faves here. This is a book to be read slowly, a little at a time. Every anecdote and vignette is a life lesson in miniature, but the book never resorts to pontification or blithe nostalgia. It unites believers and non-believers, old and young, men and women in an exquisite tapestry of the human condition. #Pulitzer

This first part of this book jumps around a lot, but if you skip to chapter 10 there is some great writing on the issues facing rural ag communities, including: population loss, worldwide immigration, corporate farming practices, pollution and the urgent need for more sustainable solutions. If you want to better understand food, US politics, and climate; read this book.

#14Books14Weeks #LibraryEdition Update. 8/14 is not too shabby. If I focus I might actually finish this one. Considering I have 50+ books on hold at the library this would be awesome.

#14Books14Weeks #OwnedEdition Update 5/14

Doing a little better here but still feeling behind. I‘ve been craving familiar characters and all these books are not only new characters but new authors too. Oh well, maybe I‘ll get over it in August

#14Books14Weeks #ARCEdition Update: Total books read 3/14.

This is not going well. I still have a month but it's shaky. I've ready more from other editions though.

If you know, you know!!!! 🐈😽📚💳

(But, this is what my husband and I refer to as returning books to the library…dropping them off in the Dewey Box)!

And last but not least #14Books14Weeks #OwnedEdition

I‘ll be real. I barely dented this list. But it‘s just July and time to buckle down.
