Things are chugging along. I'm slightly ahead in that I've started the books I need to be reading in March: history, GR want-to-reads and book club.

This problem is being addressed. I'm reading better books so my average rating is now over three stars (if just barely), even if I did finish a two-star stinker yesterday.

But, warning, warning! From a month ago:

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.
Hmm. Still not critical, but it's getting there. My overall problem is that I seem to be pretty fully scheduled* with my other goals and the opening hasn't happened. I'll note that I usually read a baseball book during spring training and it seems that it isn't happening this year.

*This is absurd, of course. There's still enough give in my reading; however, since the book club is doing Dickens for March I don't feel starting another Victorian-era novel concurrently. And baseball is long; I can get to a book eventually.
