Inver Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Looks like another pathetic reading year for me....I just can't whizz through books at the moment. Maybe the 10 days at Center Parcs will prove a good time to catch up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Reader Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have just looked in my book journal to see I have read 19 this year which already beats last years grand total of 18 and this time last year I had only read 7 so I am pretty pleased with my efforts this year. Just looking over last years books it wasn't exactly a great selection and most of them were pretty boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm behind on my reading too, I always seem to be playing catch up! I'm about 6 books behind on this time last year! I think there are a few factors though as to why I'm not reading as much! I have a different job now so reading at work is really out of the question now! And also I seem to keep loosing my mojo! arrgghhh! Hopefully it will pick up soon though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Rather stupidly I put some sort of reading goal into 'Goodreads' .. now it delights in telling me whenever I visit that I am 16% behind for the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Rather stupidly I put some sort of reading goal into 'Goodreads' .. now it delights in telling me whenever I visit that I am 16% behind for the year I did the same. I already revised my goal downwards by 10 books because the percentage behind thing was scaring me, but it doesn't seem to have made much difference.

Karsa Orlong Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm having a fairly good year, I think. I'm on my 29th book so far, and there have been a lot of very long books (in between 800 and 1300 pages) in that number. I was hoping to surpass last year's total of 76 but I doubt I'll get to that now, as I have more longer books to read in my TBR pile My highlights so far, in no particular order, have been: The Snowman by Jo Nesbo The Crippled God by Steven Erikson The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay Arms of Nemesis by Steven Saylor Heartstone by CJ Sansom Lowlights are easier to choose: Endless Night by Richard Laymon Zero Option by Chris Ryan The Religion by Tim Willocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
