You read a lot of great books!
ReplyDeleteI did! The quantity was a little lower than usual, but I read some great books. :)
DeleteWow! I don't know how you manage so many! Once upon a time I read 108 books one year but I've never managed that again. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm a bum? :) I've actually dropped my goal, the past couple years. I think the most I've ever read is 209 - something like that. It felt like cheating, though, because I read quite a few children's books, that year.
DeleteI also completed 110 books in 2016, which is a lower number than I sometimes read. A few years ago it was usually over 200. This year does include some children's books, since I try to include a wide range of ages on my blog.

Yeah, same here, or close - I think 2009 was my biggest year. That was the year Roger Ebert linked to my end-of-year Books Read list and the little stars on my map lit up like the map had exploded. That was such fun. I'm an eclectic reader in any year, but some have leaned more heavily toward the lower end of the age range. That's always fun. I love children's books.
DeleteGreat looking list of books! I know you had some reading slumps this year, so I hope in the end it was all worth it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it all evened out in the end. I'd lowered my annual goal because I wanted to read some longer books and slow down a bit and I ended up not reading the longer books I'd hoped to read but happy I'd lowered the goal because of those slumps. 2016 was a real rollercoaster reading year!
DeleteLook at all those great books! You read a ton. Hope you have a great reading year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iliana! It was a pretty good year, overall, in spite of several lengthy slumps. I read some terrific books.
