Ten Changes in My Bookish Life Since 2010

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

I'm a little late to the party today after food poisoning over the weekend had me madly catching up on NaNoWriMo today  (I broke 30k! *happy tears*), but I wanted to reflect on this topic.

Ten Changes in My Bookish Life Since 2010

1. I actually like/read some poetry

2. I read much more nonfiction, some of which isn't even biographies and memoirs!

3. I read a LOT more books by women

4. I read more books by POC (but still not enough)

5. I've changed how I conceptualize classics

6. I don't look down on people who read "lowbrow" novels anymore (and guess what, I am one of them!)

7. I don't feel like I need to HOARD ALL THE BOOKS, but instead just the ones that are special to me (which is still plenty).

8. I have my own dedicated space for books in my own home

9. For a while, I was making a lot better use of the library

10. I started listening to and enjoying audiobooks.

This sounds much like the changes in my bookish life over the decade. In fact, I am happy to report that my mind broadened more than my body did!

Just wanted to let you know that your comments on my site have ended up in the trash by mistake. My apologies for that! It shouldn't happen again. :)
