Almost missed the First Book of the Year 2018, a book blogging meme hosted by Sheila of Book Journey! Since I’ve participated in this for the past several years and almost forgot, I obviously need to renew for this year my 2017 New Year’s resolution to get back to book blogging!
My first book of the year is Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. It’s the third book in the Neapolitan quartet, which I plan to finish this year.
Two other books I have resolved to read in 2018 are NW by Zadie Smith…
and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and list my other New Year’s resolutions related to books and blogging:
- No social media before 11 a.m.
- Write something every day.
- Read for at least 30 minutes every morning

Happy 2018!
