Only just found my way to this corner and am posting to see what happens, if anything, and if I am able to find it again in the future. Nothing seems to be where they were left.

Welcome Colin. I hope you don't loose this thread.
Have found it again. That's something of a surprise!
good job Colin! I lost mine at first too. How are you doing on your books?

congratulations Colin on all counts.
I know my place. Back in the corner again. Have thought about joining a monthly challenge but see to have a stack of books to read and authors to follow that it doesn't fit well with my reading so far but you never know.
Oh! Have managed to find the answer for myself.
2016 is under way. I went for 100 books with a personal proviso of reading 1 factual book per month to stretch the mind a little and because I seem to have a backlog of titles. I expect many regular readers find the same. Am I correct in feeling that Goodreads is dominated by female readers but then none of my male friends read books regularly, they don't know what they are missing.
I seem on course to reach my target at the end 9of the year set at 100 books. Currently 5 up on target. I've been less successful with the 12 non-fiction books although I joined the fiction to reality challenge with six pairs of books as a target. Currently, I'm on the last pair reading Philby KGB Masterspy by Phillip Knightley to go with, The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers a novel set before WW1 and involves plans to make an invasion of England. A round not a bad reading year so far.
