Eldertalk | Linda Book Lady's July 2021 Reading Wrapup @Eldertalk | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is about the reading I did during the month of July 2021. I'm becoming more focused with my genre choices these days. A few months ago I wrote an article on my blog about pursuing a "Clean Reads Reading Plan" - to avoid a lot of the violence, sex and profanity I've seen in a lot of recently written novels over the last few years while I experimented with reading a wide variety of genres. This blog article explains: lindajomartin.com/clean-reads-reading-plan

I know I should make a video about it too but I find it so hard to place myself in front of a camera these days! I really want to do more, and then I think - I need to spend my time reading, or doing real-world type stuff, and not use my time for videos... as producing them can be very time consuming. I might make videos more often - I just need to find a space in my life for doing it more regularly.
