25 Books in 2025

 As always, at the end of the year, the list of grand plans I had comes to the forefront of my mind-- the crafts I would make, the recipes I would try, the idea that 2025 was the year I would finally exercise consistently... I've gotten better at not berating myself for the things I didn't  do.  What I did do in 2025: + taught so many classes + directed the high school version of SIX + made slipcovers for my living room furniture with my mom's help + continued my quest to find the perfect pair of clogs + got into the Lake of the Ozarks for the first (and only) time + spent a lot of time with my daughter And, I read. I read 25 books this year, which is nice because last year, I read 24. Here's my list:  1) Whose Names are Unknown  - Sonora Babb 2) Dark Tales - Shirley Jackson 3) The Things They Carried  - Tim O'Brien 4) No One is Talking About This  - Patricia Lockwood 5) Slow Days, Fast Company  - Eve Babitz 6) The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks...
