1/2 way through

I am 1/2 way through THE HOUSE I LOVED, by Tatiana De Rosnay and I am already feeling a profound sadness. I keep reading and hoping that what I expect is going to happen in the end, does not actually happen. More thoughts once I finish the book, which I expect I will have finished by Sunday. Then I will be on to my next read. I am waffling on the book I want to choose. It should be one of the 100, so I can get through them. I told myself I would be done by the end of last year and here we are fully ensconced in this year. New goal- this year finishing the last 26, that is over two books a month and these are the long ones. Glad I got new eye glasses.
