Just Me

  It may be a new year, but I was still reading books this month which I had started reading in the previous month/year, as well as beyond.   Because these posts are meant to share about books (because booklovers are always interested in learning about other books they might want to read), these posts will include ALL books I have read, as well as those I finished reading, each month. I’m still reading a couple of other books I started reading this month which I have not finished yet (and my headaches won’t allow me to binge-read them before midnight!), so they too will go on a “finished reading” list.   As I looked over the list of books I have read this month, I noticed two things:   1.   I did not read 10 books this month, as I had hoped to.   2.   I did not finish every book I started reading this month, as I had also hoped to do.   These were two goals I had for my reading this year. But that’s not happening this month...

  It’s that time again! Time to list all of the books I have read this year. Just like last year, this year, I wrote down all the books I read this year in a spiral notebook. That ended up presenting a problem when I typed up the list this evening; in some cases, I couldn’t read my own handwriting! I had to look up book titles and author names to get them right.   At the beginning of the year, my reading goal was to read one book published by a certain publishing company each month, along with a new book. That reading goal was shot down after that publishing company closed its doors. So I just decided to wing it and just read whatever books this year. But as the year drew to a close, I noticed I was almost at 150 books read this year! So in December, my new reading goal for 2024 was to read 150 books. And I was able to meet that goal! Yay!   But, as it happens every year that I do this list, I discovered there were two books which I forgot to include on this lis...
