When I walk the cove in the morning, I listen to guided interval walk workouts to keep me focused and make the walk a bit more fun. I was listening to one by my favorite coach the other morning as I admired all the new wildflowers making their appearance, and at the halfway mark, he said, "Okay, this is the halfway mark. What do we do at half-time? We assess how the first half went and think about what we want to do differently in the second half."

I am not a sports person, but this sentiment spoke to me as we tip into the second half of the year. So, I took some time to reflect on what I've read this year and my reading goals. And now I'm feeling refreshed and renewed going into the second half, with a clear picture of what I want more of and less of in my reading life.
