Dear Readers,
This weekend was a year end time for me. Each year for the past 5 or so years I have lead workshops to a group of church librarians from around the midwest. It is loads and loads of fun. I am getting to know many of them that I only get to see once a year, but that is what makes is so fun.
What makes it a year end for me is what I speak on. I do reviews on all the books I have read in the past year. Every year I start my list for next year the day I get back. It helps me see what I am reading and if I am trending to one certian genre and then I can make sure I read from other genres. It also helps me to know if I am reading or not reading enough new authors. So really this has been a great thing for me. It also makes me laugh because of the number of books I read a year is very very evident.
This year I brought a list of 61 books. I never get through them all, but it does make me realize how many books I read a year. This does not include books that I have read but haven't released yet, ones I didn't like or I don't think would be good for most church libriaries. It is stil amazing to me how many I do read and I just don't feel like I am a fast reader. I don't read until 3 in the morning any more - to old, I need my sleep. LOL - but I still seem to find the time to read. I guess it really is like breathing to me.
Happy Reading
