I've got very little in the way of spare cash, and a Calibre library full of books unread, not to mention the dead tree books in my physical library, taking up an entire room in my tiny house. I haven't ever entered into challenges to read x books in a week/month/year and that's been a good thing, I think. I read as the mood takes me, and that's usually early morning and late evening, and this year, especially in the last 6 months, I have been managing to complete a book every couple of days. I haven't kept a list, and I wish I had, so from here on I am just going to use the completed indicators in Stanza to keep my records.

I've also got ebook and audiobook access at my local library, using an app called Borrowbox. It doesn't have much sci-fi (my favourite genre) but I was pleased to see a lot of Peter F Hamilton, so I'll get through those too, at some point.
