I’ve read five (poetry) books since I finished Anna Karenina.
And there was a tiny poetry book I read before reading the Tolstoy novel.
My total for January is seven books.
I may end the month with eight books if I read another poetry book tomorrow.
This is pretty good considering I had that very long novel tackle.
I thought I’d end the month with just two books but I will end it with at least seven.

I wish I could read books. I never made my goal of even one book last year Leenie.
Moving again here.
Hope you and your husband and Mom are doing okay.

Maybe you will be able to read a book this year. We are okay here. Moving? Where?

@RebeccasFarm I wish you didn’t have to move a lot. That’s a big hassle and an inconvenience.

That's a good amount of reading. Good luck adding one before the end of the month.

Should be able to do it as long as I give myself time to read.

That's awesome that you are reading so much! I used to be an avid reader until my eyes started going bad. But I just got glasses a couple of weeks ago, so now that I can see clearly again I should go back to reading books again!

@lovebuglena I had reading glasses for a while, but even with them it was hard to read books. But I finally went to the eye doctor and got an examination and then ordered a pair of prescription glasses. They're progressive lenses, they have three different focal points so that I can see clearly in all situations. And now I can see even more clearly than when I was just using reading glasses.

Five books? I wish I could manage one, but I have ADHD. Impressive!

Shorter books take less time to read. That’s why I’ve been able to read that many.

I'm stuck reading Hitler's book. I am finally on his volume which I think will be shorter. I decided to listen to The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. It's getting really good.
