Lisa's 2025 Category Challenge Reads

Edited: Dec 19, 5:33 pm

Hi, my name is Lisa, and I've been an LT member since 2007 and I've been participating in the Category Challenge since 2008. I reside in Phila, PA, am married with one son and three granchildren (almost 16, 14 and 9). In addition to reading I like to start my day with the various NYT puzzles, watch classic movies, and try new recipes. I've decided that my categories will be the months of the year. Since I'm such a moody reader, I frequently start and then stop books that I thought I was going to read, so I think "looser" categories will work well for me.

2025 is going to be a year of big change for me, as I've made the final decision to retire at the end of May. It's slightly frightening yet exciting at the same time. I will be very curious to see if I do more reading in the second half of the year.

Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! I retired last July, and I highly recommend it. I practically doubled my reading this year.
