I didn't reach my goal of 150 books this year, only getting to 145. As my husband says, too much time spent playing solitaire on my iPad. I definitely am changing that for the new year. However I've also been spending more time doing crafts such as needlework, so that has been taking some time as well.
Here's how I stand at the end of the year:

I've had better years in terms of books read, and have been on a downward trend the last few years. Hopefully we'll go up again in 2018.
Good job, Shonna! Much more reading than I. Vicki
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki. Not as many as I'd planned though!
