STATUS UPDATE

So... it's after 11pm, February 11, 2017.

Of note: I usually find myself in bed before 9pm.

42 days into 2017, and I've just finished my ninth book of the year. I also finished my ninth review, which wouldn't be impressive except that there is a part of me that fully expects to give up the writing and stick to the reading. Although I really enjoy writing, it saps up much of the time that I used to devote to reading, which is something else that I much enjoy.

Anyway, to break down what I've read so far:

-3/12 biography/autobiography/memoirs
-1 historical fiction
-4 random pop fiction/children's books/new york times bestsellers, etc
-1/12 random work of non-fiction
-0/12 pre-releases, although one of the books that I read HAD been pre-released at some point last year. I haven't read or really even started either of the two that I have received for the months of January and February, partially because I have been temporarily separated from my Kindle... oops.

I have picked up and started in on several books this last week or two, so although I haven't been finishing a lot, I am making progress.

9 down, 41 to go. If there were any way for me to quit my job and devote those 40+ hours a week to reading, I would, but alas! That's not happening.

I feel like there was a specific reason I had wanted to write this progress report, but right now I can't think of what that could possibly have been. I do remember that I had decided (somewhere along the way) to do a monthly (or so) status update to keep track of my progress. Maybe in the future I'll put more effort into making this worth reading.   =)
