bramble

so, when the internet is missing, i apparently get more books read. and i have some new places to read, as well. i always end up reading on the train; but the train is not a regular occurrence for me, and i've been known to orchestrate reasons to take it so that i can get some reading done. that hasn't changed. i read in the laundromat now. i read at home. and i read during the five-minute smoke/outdoor breaks i take at work (rather than a lunch). and in the past 23 months, i've read 98 books. 37 in 2007 and 61 in 2008. some of them were re-reads of series. (i re-read harry potter 1-6 before deathly hallows came out, for example, and i re-read both laurell k. hamilton series.)

but it makes up for 2006, in which a review of my booking posts tells me i read a meager 11.

there's a lot of urban fantasy in there. i tend to get into anti-ruts, where i just go with whatever my mood is doing in order to keep reading.

i may get around to commenting on some of the books i read. i meant to keep up with that in a word.doc while i was away, but didn't. i did manage to keep the list going. to try and do even a blurb on all of them for the sake of my records now might be a little tricky, so i'm going to try to be okay with that.

this year i will keep up my booking list, and i plan to start tracking films as well. i think i tried that before and fell off the wagon.
