I am now 8 books "behind" (down from 9), but I decided to give up on one of the books I have been "reading". I seemed to do anything but read that book for the past few months; while I've been reading other books elsewhere, at home I was playing games on my phone instead of reading (with the uninspiring book on the table next to me. LOL)
Now that I have changed the book on that particular ebook reader, I hope to pick up the pace (going from no reading to some reading) and maybe not fall any farther "behind".
(Behind being relative to my past highest book count. Although I am literally behind when I consider the reading opportunities I have missed due to unconsciously avoiding a particular book. I read three other Charlotte Bronte books but just have not been able to get into Shirley.)
I'll consider my challenge for this year met if I manage to end the year with at least 86 books read (8 less than my benchmark of 94 from 2012. I read 87 books last year.)
