Once again, I've set a reading goal of 100 books for the year - I didn't quite make it last year (95), but it's close enough to set that as a goal again (and I like a nice round number). I'll track which books I read in a month and which I liked best. Mostly for myself more than anything, but of course I'm always glad to have others follow along.
So... in May, new (to me) books read: 6; books re-read: 0
Favourite book in May: Commonwealth by Ann Patchett
in April: new (to me) books read: 8; books re-read: 0
Favourite book in April: The Ninth House, Leigh Bardugo
in March: new (to me) books read: 8; books re-read: 1
Favourite book in March: Spring, Ali Smith
in February: new (to me) books read: 4; books re-read:
Favourite book in February: A Single Thread, Tracy Chevalier
in January: new (to me) books read: 6; books re-read:
Favourite book in January: An American Marriage, Tayari Jones
May reading:
- I read a couple of children's book which have been sitting in my stack of kids' books for a while (The Wonderling by Mira Bartok, Malamander by Thomas Taylor)
- I read a very interesting non-fiction book about fonts (Just My Type by Simon Garfield). I'm not a big non fiction reader, though I'm fond of a good memoir (not biography) and do like the odd quirky delve into some bit of the world - like this font book.
- I read a couple of crime fiction books in series which I follow (Island of the Mad, Laurie R King; Fear in the Sunlight, Nicola Upson)
- I read a great fiction book which has been in my pile for a while, by an author I always enjoy (Commonwealth, Ann Patchett)
