My Fall 2017 This Time I’m Really Gonna Do It Reading list

Forget New Years resolutions.  My true "new" year starts in September. (Or I guess August. Because these days school starts in the MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER! But I digress.) 

This will be our year.
Whether you are ten or (just two months short of) fifty, Fall equals the chance to begin again! 

Get back on track!

Quit being such a slacker!

Tackle all those challenges looming out there in the not so far off future.

Good thing the library offers everything I need to succeed.

Here's my Fall 2017 "This Time I'm Really Gonna Do It" reading list.  

 Some of these books are brand new and still on order. Place a hold so you can get it as soon as it arrives on the DPPL shelves.  Learn how to place a hold here.
