Reflections


Deciding

I keep a list of books I read throughout the year. Sometimes I wonder if I have captured everything. My official count was twenty eight.

I used to note books I abandoned. I decided at some point that if a book didn’t grab me, it was okay to let it go. It wasn’t a reflection on the book. It just wasn’t for me at that point in time. “It’s not for me” is a phrase I use to describe books, films, television, music, and magic that aren’t to my liking.

Deciding what’s not for us is an important decision.
