The first week of my sabbatical, I took six hour naps. Not six hour-long-naps, I mean naps that lasted SIX hours. Bryan even asked if I was sick or something (nope, just my body catching up on all the sleep it lost over the last fifteen years). It was glorious. Once I emerged from hibernation, I started thinking about how I wanted to spend my time away from work. And number one on that list of priorities was reading. I love reading. I love mystery books, inspirational books, historical fiction books. I just love books. So without further ado, here is my comprehensive list of “everything I read during my sabbatical” (part one) and my reviews of each book.
