Books Read In 2014
Every year I keep track of how many new books I finished. In 2011 I read 63 books, in 2012 I read 58, in 2013 I read 56, and in 2014 I read... 39!
Hmm. Not as good as previous years, but in my defense I was back at work full time for all of 2014, which is its own kind of awesome. This year, I'd like to make a dent in my TBR bookshelf. It's ceiling height and double-stacked, and I have three full overflow boxes... I suppose I could also stop buying new books... Ahahahahahahahaha. No.
