I'm really proud of all the books I read. 45 in total. That averages almost 4 books a month and amost a book a week. Respectable in my book.
I would have liked to have read more books of substance...a lot of my books were frivilous reads.......but fun none the lest.
My improvement this year will be to read more books of value.
So, out of the 64 books chosen.....I read 45, that is 2/3 at least and something I'm happy to have accomplished. I have to say that having the list definitely helped keep me on track and kept me reading when I started to feel myself fall into a "no read zone".
So I will be posting my 999 list by the end of the week.......but since I've decided to record more things than just books read, I will keep that list separate for those of us that are tracking our reading for the year as well.

Hi, Rachel,
I don't think I've read a book of fiction in 20 years...so steeped in theology, I've neglected fantasy. My daughter has already bought me some books for the New Year (actually re-reads for me because I was so voracious a reader in my youth...that would be your age and younger, for sure!)
Your list of reads is impressive and Chris' accomplishments to be congratulated...but how can we cross our fingers and pray in the same breath, ma'am?
I will pray!
Your friend,
Gen
