I finished my yearly goal! It was a relatively light reading month at only 10 books, but still it feels momentous to be done with my yearly goal this early. As predicted, it feels like I barely made a dent in the books lying around here, but I still got around to reading something things I've been putting off for years like the Fables series. I also prioritized reading gifts this year, and it seems like that might have resulted in a larger number of book gifts than usual this year. (Something I don't mind at all, by the way) Actually, I think I'm just going to make that a more general policy. It feels good to be able to go back to the person who gave me a book and tell them how much I enjoyed it.
I realized this month that I might not like memoir all that much. I tried reading Diablo Cody's Candy Girl which I was actually interested in. Diablo Cody wrote the screen play for Juno. However, just as with the David Sedaris stuff, once I started the book, I got bogged down and almost listless about reading. I'm not sure yet if it's just a general issue with memoir or bad luck, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
Since I completed my goal, I'm lifting the old book restriction. In reality there's not that many newly purchased books sitting around waiting for me. I knew I couldn't read them right away, so I just didn't buy many books, but lifting this restriction on myself also means I can go back to library reading which is exciting too.
