You’ll notice that I snuck a novella in there (“The Death of Ivan Ilych”), and I did that because I love the story and it’s short enough to read in two days. I also followed it with a couple much shorter stories.
I also made a PDF. If you download and use this PDF, please become a paying subscriber. In general, please become a paying subscriber! This PDF lists all the books for January and has room for notes and reflection. There will also be other prompts for reflection and craft talk as we read them together.
I am so excited to get started on January 1st! Which stories are you looking forward to? Lmk in the comments, and don’t forget to share Socially Awkward with friends and family so they can join in.
Also: The Artist’s Way Group will start January 2nd. I have not heard of any interest in this, so if I don’t hear from you I am going to wait until February.
Warmly,
Stacy
Selfishly I would love for The Artist's Way Group to start in Feb because I reallllllly want to do it but can't participate in Jan ;)
