So this was my year . . . 200 books under my belt. I haven't read that many books since I started recording things on Goodreads several years ago. Usually I read around 120, 140.
I can account for it!
- I went on three international trips last year (also a TERRIFIC first that I doubt will ever be repeated). I read a book or two each day on vacation, usually, and more on a plane/train/car/boat to drown out motion sickness.
- I voted for the Whitney Awards for the first time last year, and so I read 40 books in about a month. It was the first time in my life that I've ever been sick of reading.
- I read a lot of YA and middle grade fiction, which tends to run shorter than adult fiction.
- I was down in the dumps for a lot of 2017. Books are my coping mechanism.
