Year in Review
2012
Curious to know just what I have been up to this last year I decided to tally it all up. Plus I thought it would be nice to face the new year knowing what I had done with my previous 365 days.
Here are the results:

Looking back at my reading stats I have come to realize that running a blog cuts into my reading time. The year before I started running this blog I managed to read 205 book over 60,000 pages. Since then I just can't reach those same numbers. I have no way of knowing if any of my blogging actually helps others as I originally intended. I really begin to wonder what will happen this next year. Of late I have felt less enthusiasm for blogging. Less pull to read. My happiest moments this year involve a couple of perfect book recommendations.
If I have any goal this next year it would definitely involve abolishing my TBR pile. The physical and eBook piles just have to go. I miss being able to read a book right when I select it. And wanting to select a book because I had no other to read.
So I hope to regain some of the fun of reading this year whatever it takes. Thanks for sharing this last year with me.
