So Many Books…

… so little time!  I finished this: I REALLY liked it.  I thought it was going to be lighter and fluffier than it was- but it wasn’t fluffy at all.  It was sad, and funny.  Sometimes there’s a book everyone else loves, except for me.  But not this time!  It lived up to the hype. Now I have all my Christmas Book Flood books: I want to dive into every single one of them, but my son brought home books #2 and #3 of Cixin Liu’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy.  He’s insisting that I read them while he’s home, so I’ve started this one: It’s a long book- 500 pages, and I’m longing for a stretch of time to just sit and read.  Will I get it anytime soon?  Hmmm. I read 52 books in 2024.  My goal was 50, and I finally achieved it.  Should I set the mark higher in 2025?  Yes!  I’ll go for 60- why not? My favorite books of the year were the three from Ken Follett’s The Century trilogy.  My least favorites… well, let’s just say I read a lot of Japanese locked room murder mysteries, and I think I’ve gotten that out of my system. Overall I’m excited to read some great books this year.  I just wish I had more time… but maybe I do have the time and I’m just not allocating it correctly.  More about that coming up in 2025 goals! Do you have a favorite book of 2024? Do you set any reading goals for the year?
