I've read 15 total books so far. I know I won't be able to maintain my current pace for long (especially since there might be a new job on the horizon) so I'm happy I came out of the gate at top speed. It'll help later.

Good luck and congratulations on the (possible) new job. I'll be cheering for you.
. Good luck with the job!

I have reduced my challenge to 75 books (it was 100 in 2011), which is still 6 a month, and so far have only read 2 books, so I'm falling behind already. Not exactly sure why - I have read a couple of short stories which I'm not counting, and listening to a bit more radio, so that is having an impact. I'm sure I'll make up lost time soon .

Otherwise, I'm happy with the challenge. Having a selection of named books is helping me to decide what to read next, so that's .
