With a little less than three months to go, here’s where I’m at.
Of my goal of 24 books, I’ve read 20. Yay!
Since July, I’ve read one more non-fiction book which brings my total to five.
Since July, I’ve read five more fiction books which brings my total to twelve.
The non-fiction book wasn’t a re-read (yay!)
Of the five fiction books, I’d count four of them as being outside of my usual genre.
So, if you add this all up, carry the one, subtract the one non-fiction re-read…then I need to read six more non-fiction books and two more fiction books. And since I’ve been so good at reading outside my genre, the last two books can be horror if I want them to be, which is good because I just got Stephen King’s Dr. Sleep.
I’ve made up quite a bit of ground after my first six months of fail, but I’m still really lacking in my non-fiction reads. This is kind of frustrating considering how much non-fiction I used to read. You’d think it be easy for me to find a few books on various subjects to read about and yet…no. I’m really struggling in this department for some reason. It’s become an effort to get over it
So I need to read a total of eight books before the end of the year and most of them need to be non-fiction.
I’m sure I can do that.
Maybe.
Ugh. When did reading get so hard for me?
