It has been more than six months since I decided on my “book” New Years resolution. This is what I wrote then:
My New Year resolution is to read at least six writers that are new to me. It wouldn’t be too difficult to read a new writer every other month.
So how did it go? The new writers I have read so far this year are:
1. Susanna Alakosi
2. Marjaneh Bakhtiari
3. Geraldine Brooks
4. Joanne Harris
5. Ove Lagerkvist
6. Alice Sebold
7. Karen Blixen
8. Marita Jonson
9. Björn Kumm
10. Staffan Stolpe
11. Tina Thunander
Almost double! Looking back, I probably should have set a higher goal. But knowing me, I tend to stick to the same writers year in and year out. Perhaps my New Years resolution helped me along the way and see some new openings.
How did your New Years resolutions hold up? Did they last longer than January 2?
