42 books! My highest so far. Happy.
- I read a lot of science fiction. 7
- Read some wishlist books - War and Peace, Satanic Verses, Middlemarch
- Bunched up reading periods through the year. A few months when I read a lot. And a couple of months, nothing.
- For the non fiction, often books don't end up in the 'recent reads' list since I drop them when my interest is satiated rather them completing them
- Read a few authors for the first time and enjoyed them
I have so far read around 5 in Jan 2017. Trying to read one non fiction each month. Currently reading through 3 big books, fiction classics - all 30-50% read, so will be some time before I come back to these pages to update.
