“Building the Book Fort” is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life.

Currently Reading:

• The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
• The Wild Girl by Kate Forsyth
• Fifty Things That Aren’t My Fault by Cathy Guisewite

Finished:

• Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence
• The Willoughbys Return by Lois Lowry

Total pages read this week: 517

Total books for 2022: 18 of 85.

I’m now down to 3 books that won’t fit on the shelves. I finished two books and started a third while I was stuck at home in pain and having difficulty walking. All three did a wonderful job of distracting me, especially The Willoughbys Return.

I found a free literature course for The Grapes of Wrath, and I really want to dive into the book, but I’m having difficulty concentrating on anything that deep and serious right now. I don’t think I’d be able to get through The Wild Girl if I wasn’t listening to the audiobook.
