My reading progress so far this year

Thanks I seen the thread on what your reading this week and I posted a comment couple of times but I read sometimes 1 to 2 books in a day depending on how long they are. Only two books took me a week on that list and it was the Fireman by Joe Hill and The Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind. But I will try to post more often.

Not sure on Bingo though.

I can read over 200 pages in a day. Far as time honestly I read a majority of those at work. When we are slow and I am waiting for customers I read. I am lucky to have a boss that allows that.

He used to gripe but I quit if he took my books away and besides I do my job and it doesn't get in the way of doing that. Gasp he also allows me to seat on a stoll but it isn't the most comfortable.

I've read about the same number this year, and work full time. But we hardly watch anything on TV and don't go to movies.

Edit: I thought I saw it was 44 books, but I see it's 104, so that's way more than me. Not someone who works full time, I'd guess.

Stared one are the physical copies. How I kept ebooks from physical organized. The Maze Runner series would be the least favorite. I truly love all the John Grisham novels, and obviously Stephen King. I also surprisingly enjoyed the Witch Way Librarian Mystery series. Also highly recommend In The Lives of Puppets. Also can never go wrong reading Jason Pargin.

Tell me about it. Why I prefer physical books and hardcover if I can.get them, but I have been using Libby for my ebooks and every Kindle book does that.

Thanks my goal was 100 books this year I surpass that so my next goal is 200 by end of year.

Not sure I'll get it done the Sword of Truth series is large. The first book was over 800 the next three in the series are just as large. But going give it one hell of a go.

Forgot this is the internet and people do lie on here. I have read all those books of course a lot of the Kindle ones are short stories but I still believe they count.

I list my books I read at end of the year as a tradition. Started for me on Reddit just go look up my user name on there and you will see. Only reason I posted now instead of end of year because this the first time since childhood that I read 100 books.

Why this is possible is two fold I am fast reader always have been, and second my job finally allows me to read at work. Second job that allows this.

But I am always reading weather during my lunch break, or just relaxing at home on the weekend.

Some of those are novellas, but some of them are really long, so probably balances out. When I'm not working and my chores are done, I'm usually reading.

That's hard choice but I say Zoye to Drunk for this Dystopia and the Fireman were excellent books. But so was Heart-shaped Box. But a couple of the non fictions I really enjoyed. Black Like Me and The Killers of the Flower Moon were greats reads.
