Bump.

I’ve really fallen off on reading of late. Been doing other hobbies more.

I'm at 28 read with a goal of 52. I've been reading a lot more since the beginning of June. Switching jobs and other sressors ruined my reading time in the spring

Im falling behind now - got into malazan re-reading which I just can't do in a week. Once I get through reapers gale next week, I'm taking a ten day trip. Going to pack some shorter / easier books to try and catch back up. Hopefully be back on track come October

Bump. We're in the homestretch for 2021. Don't forget to list your books read this year.

Goal - 30 books



I'll post the list when time is more permitting, but I'm currently reading my 28th book so I should easily hit my goal. About halfway through 28, and already started 29. December gets really busy for me though, so not sure how many over 30 I'll be able to finish.

Bumping this with one month to go.

I think I'll come up short of my 40 book goal, work got really crazy this year, but will blow past it including audiobooks.

Still need to update my list and finish a couple in December but planning to hit 35 - which seems to be my sweet spot.

That’s awesome - even when I was a librarian I didn’t read that many.

It doesn't hurt that I live about a 75 second walk from a library.
