What an excellent year!

I'm looking forward to reading Boxers and Saints ... one day... always hard to know what will make it from my burgeoning TBR list into actual hands/onto my actual screen--speaking of which, what you way about where and how you read makes sense to me of why print books still comprise more than half of what you're reading.

As soon as you can give yourself the excuse to move Boxers and Saints up on your list, definitely do. I'd be interested in hearing what you think!

The library system is getting a wider catalog of the kinds of e-books I read, but considering how difficult the publishers make e-book purchasing for libraries (I talked to our local library director about how much they have to pay for e-books; it's exorbitant), I imagine I'll be supplied in print for a long time to come. I'm *buying* far fewer print books, so I suppose that's why I expected the breakdown to skew higher. (My review titles end up being about 50/50 print and digital.)
