Increasing my reading challenge to 50 books!
In January I set my 2014 reading challenge to 32 books. The year was off to a great start, and as I neared 30 books I decided to up it to 40. Well, I just finished #39, so I'm increasing it again... to 50! I've only reached 50 once (in 2010 I read 61 books), but this has been a great year for reading and I'm optimistic that I can reach 50.
Falling in love with Robin Hobb has definitely helped, as I've been flying through her books this year (I just finished my 8th Robin Hobb book.) Thanks, Tiz, for recommending Assassin's Apprentice! I enjoyed that first book, but the second one in the series (Royal Assassin) sealed the deal. There was no going back; I am now a major fan of everything Robin Hobb, especially her Fitz books.
I also began reading quite a few indie/self-published books this year, which has helped with my read count. I don't have Kindle Unlimited, but I occasionally consider signing up.
Of course, with free time being so limited, time spent reading is time I don't spend writing. But I'm a reader before a writer, and dammit, I've read some amazing books this year that just keep me going back for more. :)
