100 Books - August & September
Oct. 4th, 2008 05:43 pmWhen we left our intrepid reader, at the end of July, she'd read 62 books and was well ahead of schedule (that being 8.33 books a month, which comes to 58.33 books by the end of July).
So what did August hold??
It got off to a good start with the first book just taking a couple of days to read.
( August )
( September )
So 13 books for the two months period, rather then the 16-17 I should have read, and 75 books to the end of the September.
One more quarter to go and 25 books to read. Not behind schedule, at least, but back sliding is frustrating, especially as I'm sitting there now with nothing I want to read.
(Pause while doing a quick proof read to remember a distant time when I was happy to have read half a dozen books a year. Now when was that? Oh yeah, last year. Now I'm grizzling because I haven't read 16 books in a few weeks? :)
(Followed by a second thought, that if someone handed me a pile of 16 boooks and told me I had two months to read them in, I'd be very tempted to tell them what they could do with their books.)
