'Butterfly in the Sky'

I'm in need of a new project, something positive to occupy my time and my mind. I truly enjoyed going back through my CD collection last year so was looking for something in a similar vein. An exchange with a friend flipped the switch—I will read more books.

Reading is one of the greatest things to do in life, yet, at my best, I'm a sporadic avid reader. I feel fulfilled and content and accomplished when one book's ending smoothly flows into another's start but, usually, there are huge gaps in my reading life.

Maybe this year could be the year to end all that.

I'm aiming for one book a week but would be satisfied with two a month. My first book for this project is "Grace: A Memoir," by Grace Coddington, creative director of American Vogue. I'll happily take recommendations for what can follow.
