Well, what a challenge that was! Last year I read at least fifty two books. I say at least because I read a couple of others which I didn’t review. So, that’s a lot of pages. At an average of 350 pages per book, that works out at 18, 200 pages this year, without counting the other material I read throughout the year – blogs, texts, newspaper articles,magazines, adverts, subtitles and letters.
I definitely feel proud – I read lots of books I’d wanted to read for ages (Slaughterhouse 5, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest), familiar friends (The Time Traveler’s Wife) and some books I never want to read or even see again (Fame Fatale, Widows of Eastwick).
I thought a list of things I learned would be fun:
- All books have a human element
- Lots of books mention Norwich
- The standard of proof reading is not up to scratch
- When you have a week to read a book, the last day is spent reading
- I cry easily at books
This year, I’m going to carry on reading, but not a book a week. You’ll see reviews posted pretty regularly as I now have dozens of books that I couldn’t fit in last year to read!
Thanks for all your support – it’s been lovely to talk to so many friends who read this little blog of mine. Hopefully you’ll continue to read.
Books and race reviews 
Well done my dear, very proud of you and I look forward to seeing what you are reading this year. I currently have a big stack of books to read that I got for Christmas including the new Stephen King which is as big as a door stop, Lush Life by the Wire writer Richard Price, Sex and the Single Girl by Helen Gurley Brown and Mary Berry’s Baking Bible which I really should make something from. Happy reading this year.
