I'm afraid my reading will suffer a little when baseball season starts!
I love that picture of Skye and Max reading...too cute!
Amy ~ We all have our fun little time-stealers, don't we? :-) And baseball may be worse than basketball, because there are even more games! I thought 82 was a lot. . . :-) You should have seen us trying to get that photo of the boys. Sitting still is not real high on their agenda of things to do. I'm glad you like it!

This is an ambitious list. I'm always so impressed with people who can get that much reading done! I'm afraid it's just not possible for me at least right now. There's always retirement to look forward to. :) Good luck on your plans.
Lisa ~ I'll be impressed with myself if I can actually get it done! :-) I may be starting too fast out of the gate to keep it up, but I'm giving it a go. I'll have to scale it back a little for May if I end up burying myself. Thanks for the encouragement!
Ah, retirement! Not to wish my life away, but, yup, I know what you mean!
Lezlie
good luck with your goals, you can do it!

Naida ~ Thank you!
Lezlie
Looking forward to hearing what you think about some of these! That's a lot of stuff to get done by the end of next month though!
You should post some reviews of the Teaching Company lectures. I do a few courses each summer, particularly history surveys, and I've loved what I've done so far. The courses have really given me some great background for exploring literature, which is why I'm interested in them.
Ladytink ~ I think I can pull it off. I am eternally optimistic! :-)
J.D. ~ Good to see you here! I did post my thoughts on the first two lectures from this series, and I plan to continue as I work my way through it. I've listened to a number of their history courses in the past and loved them all! Which ones have you listened to? I highly recommend the one on Ancient Egypt just for fun. :-)

Very ambitious schedule Lezlie, espcially for someone who works and is a mother of wonderful fur children!
I read both Wuthering Heights and
Moby Dick. Truth time, I didn't care for either. You can probably guess one of this vegans objections to Moby Dick. LOL!
Teddy Rose ~ I liked Moby Dick, but the hunting/killing scenes were hard to read. Even the whaling, etc., that goes on now, it's one of those things that goes on that I can't think about or I'll cry.

Lezlie, you are so inspirational! I love the idea of making quarterly and monthly goals, even by chapter. You're doing so well on this learning journey, I'm very impressed. And now off to think about my learning, which has no structure and therefore doesn't get done.
Joanna ~ Thank you! I'd love to see what you come up with if you make a plan.
