I love reading - FACT. Since the Summer of 2012 I have been keeping a diary of the books I've read. In 2013 I read 64 books over the year. Last year I only read 56. This year I am on my 3rd book. 3, yes 3, at this rate by next year I won't be reading anything. Not impressed with myself at all. Talk about getting twitchy about my reading!!!!!!!
Have you read anything fabulous lately that may get me back on track.
This year I have read;
I was a little disappointed with "The Last Anniversary". I have read other Liane Moriarty books which I loved, so I am unsure whether some of my disappointment is that I didn't love this one. I'd recommend "The Husband's Secret" over this one.
This was a Christmas present from my s-i-l. Again, I thought this was ok. It's split between 2 different time zones and I don't usually like books set over different periods - it tends to confuse me!!!!
I am currently reading the book above. It's mostly set in Sheffield and I am really enjoying it. I should probably be finished with it tonight so I can chose another book. I am doing my best not to buy anymore books (I love books!) until I get rid of some. The way I figure it is if I get rid of books as I read them, then there will be less to pack up when we finally get the house on the market.
I used to try to read fifty books a year until i had my children, and then I was lucky if I read two or three! Sixty four in one year is impressive! x
ReplyDeleteOnly problem is I get competitive with myself so it feels like a failure that I read less last year. I did however learn to crochet so I spent a lot of time in the latter part of the year making. I must try and find a balance this year.
ReplyDeleteHow many? Wow! I've challenged myself to read one a month, lol. I've started reading all the Agatha Christie books in chronological order, I'm on my second one now, in between reading other things.
ReplyDeleteI tend to read loads on holiday. With H not being able to explore much we do spend a lot of time around the pool. I am thinking of making Granny Squares this year so my numbers may be really low. My bus journey into Leeds takes over an hour too so I can usually tell if I've been in a lot by the number of books I have gotten through.
