I'm on target with my goals, if only just. I need to get a doorstopper started one of these days, but that situation hasn't reached the critical stage.
Most disappointing for me is the anemic quality of the books I've read. Nothing better than three stars and my overall rating is 2.7 according to Goodreads. I will be a while digging myself out of this hole and boosting it to the 3.2 to 3.3 range, which is where I'd like to be.
Part of the problem is that I've been sidetracked by a few books I didn't plan to read and didn't like them terribly; I should stick to the books I have. The other issue and I haven't quite made my mind up is that I rated two favorite authors' (Wodehouse and Trollope) most recent reads at three stars, because I didn't think they were quite up to their typical high standard. But in terms of my enjoyment and in comparison with other books, they both could have been four stars. Do I play the game of upping my ratings to help my overall mark or do I stay with my gut reaction?
