Didn't quite make it to 52 this year. Read a lot this summer on the back deck, but since fall/work started basically nothing. Have as something I want to do more in 2026 reading. I have a full bookshelf of books wanting to be read and 10 more book club books to read! I have very much been enjoying my book club, we read a book and head out to discuss over dinner at a restaurant. We don't eat out much, so I eat out for book club night and Paul grabs takeout for the kids.
