January’s been somewhat of a mixed bag for me, but encouraging overall.
I’m ahead on my biographies goal, so much so that if I keep it up, I may decide to end it at completion or the half-year mark and do something different for the rest of the year.
I’m on target with my reading list goal. I’m going to see how it goes, but I’ve thought that by the two-thirds or three-quarters mark I may decide to eliminate the remaining many times rejected books and repopulate the list.
I’m very satisfied about these. Less good, i.e., not good at all, is that I will have finished more books than my maximum allowable, and it’s because after a strong start I fell into the shorter/easier trap by the end of the month. But I had a lot going on and my average pages per book is still far higher than it was for all of last year, and my satisfaction as measured by my average GR rating also is up, although both figures were dragged down somewhat by the junk factor. I’m not going to beat myself up over this, but try to find my resolve again.
It wouldn’t be a challenge if it didn’t chafe a bit, right?
