A Century of Books!
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 10 secondsThanks to my, mother, and sister, who was a librarian, I have always loved to read.
When I stopped working at the beginning of 2019, I began to add the books I had read to the Bookshelf.
With Jan’s illness and several efforts to return to work, the number of books I read was not substantial. I only read nineteen books between the beginning of 2019 and Jan’s death in May 2021.
The pace picked up after that, and the total for the remainder of 2021 was 36.
I signed up for Goodreads 2022 Reading Challenge at the beginning of this year. The goal I selected was 22 books. I have now read 45.
I am finishing, on average, a new book every 4.8 days. Not a record-breaking pace but one that gives me hope for the future.
Every book I have read has been a joy to read and are ones I would recommend.
It would be wonderful to talk to Jan about the novels she wanted me to read, and we could now have a book club!
