I read 26 books in December. How did that happen? Well, I was off work for 5 days because COVID finally got me. I didn’t really get sick so I had plenty of time to read. I wouldn’t have even known that I had it but I had a little cold. I decided to test myself because my boss had been making anyone who got even slightly sick test. I decided that I should test to go along with the program. Since I’m the only vet… yeah, I shut down the clinic for the rest of that week. But I got a lot of reading done!
I also read several cookbooks this month and those go fast. I’ve been doing a big life reset on the husband and myself (with really good results). It has resulted in lots of cookbooks being read.
I read a few books for my South of the Equator challenge.
I even read a book that I already owned for my TBR reduction challenge. I read it after I wrote my post about how bad I was doing at that. I tried to find a book to read on my ipad. I realized that most of the unread romances I had on there were just horrible. I read a few pages of about 10 books and deleted them because they were painful. I guess that’s one way to clean out the ereader.
i love all the colors in your wrap up!!
I read Twice a Quinceañera at your recommendation and enjoyed it, so thank you!
Glad you liked it!
That library at the top of your page is amazing! I want to get lost in there. Getting a mild case of COVID is a good way to get a lot of reading done. Happy New Year!
I have a couple hundred books on my ereader – more than on my actual bookshelves. That sounds like a good way to clean it up! Many of them are freebies and those are totally hit and miss for quality. I just read one that was excellent, but I’ve also started them and abandoned them – but I guess that’s the same as print books, right? You read an extraordinary amount of books this month and seem to have enjoyed most of them. Hope that trend continues in 2023.

Wow! That is an awesome number of books this month! I need to try to go through my books on my e-reader as I keep amassing tons of free ones. I’m just afraid I’ll end up getting sucked in unlike you and not get any farther because they’ll side track me down a new author backlist. lol Have a great January and 2023!

Twenty-six books is incredible–you must read very quickly. Great job! Sorry you contracted COVID, but I was happy it was only a mild case for you. Happy 2023!
