Ok things are looking up. Since I posted in mid-September (when I had read 18 of my 50 books that I set as a goal), I have read another ten books and am about to finish my 11th. I might not reach my goal this year but I am reading more, and liking it. I haven't been adventurous with my reading at all, and I've also read a few doozies I regret trying to finish - they were rubbish. Here's hoping the rest of the year is a bit better
