January went by in a flash. It really seemed like we just celebrated the new year yesterday and somehow a month has gone by. My reading rate has recovered somewhat and I'm averaging about a book a week. It's still nowhere near where it was, but it feels good to settle back into a new rhythm.
The Dekalb Public Library has announced their reading challenge for the year: 26 in '26. It's similar to last years century challenge but on a smaller scale. It shouldn't be to hard to complete. The list contains 52 categories, but a person only needs to complete 26 of them to be considered 'finished.' Needless to say, I'm going to try to fill in all 52.
I have to admit, I miss my monthly lists a little. It was a comfortable organizational habit, but it also made picking my next book relatively easy. I decided to move away from the monthly lists because they also tended to kill whim and spontaneity. It feels a little strange being 'unmoored,' but strange could be good.
Below are the list of books that I read in January. I think I'm going to try to go back to consistent reviews. Since I'm reading fewer overall, I should be able to manage it.
Books Read in January
- The Portable Door by Tom Holt
- My Salty Mary by Cynthia Hand, et al
- House of the Beast by Michelle Wong (TBR.co
