Thoughts on the Matter
I am a tiny bit disappointed that I read just one little book less than last year, but considering how busy I was at work and at home the fact that I still managed to finish an average of 4.25 books a month is probably something be a little proud of. I would like to read more books set internationally next year, as well as nonfiction texts. As a whole, though, I am pleased with the scope of my reading and the fact that out of 51 books I only was really unhappy with 3 of them.
Looks like a great reading year! I should sift through my mile long list of everything I read (including kids books) to see how many full length I actually got to -- these by the numbers posts always get me curious about my own stats!
ReplyDeleteOnly 3 books that you didn't care for is awesome! Hope 2017 is a great year. Happy New Year!!
