I set a target of a book a day. That seemed reasonable. Last year I ended up reading 425 for the year, so I still have *checks notes* 105 days of the year left. [as IF I’m not going to read any more books?!]

They are a number of genres and a mixture of formats. Shorts stories, long novels, radio plays, audiobooks, library borrows of all types, and physical books. I am a sucker for the Lifeline charity books sales. Heck at $1 a book, I’ll try anything that catches my eye.

And my ratings are spread, too.

5 stars:	64	18%
4 stars:	141	39%
3 stars:	66	18%
2 stars:	47	13%
1 star:	18	5%
dnf:	29	8%
total	365

 

This is the first year that I’ve been keeping records of my ratings as I go, so I can’t compare it with last year’s percentages. I won’t give everything five stars, that’d be a pointless waste of time, but I’m pretty generous with 40% getting 4 stars.

But how am I going with the boxed sets, I hear you ask. I’ve read 60 boxes of… mumbles… 263.

Sighs

I know one thing: I’m going to be way more ruthless in the future. If I’ve tried two books and they’re both bad, I’m deleting any other titles I have from the same author.

So many books, so little time.
