What’s the average length of these books?
Steve wrote: "What’s the average length of these books?"So far the average is 431, which isn't very helpful. Last year I apparently read 383 books at an average length of 153 pages, which is more books and a lower average than other years. That was interesting: I haven't ever paid attention to the Year in Books before.
Kaethe, Counting my blessings and wishing you more. Have a prosperous New Year and Happy reading :.))

Someday we’ll have to do a buddy read again :-)

Not at the moment but every once in a while I think something looks like it has potential. How about you?
The only thing I can think of at the moment is The Library Book from Susan Orlean. Ever since GR removed my favorite feature I have a very hard time keeping track of what I want to read. :(
I have read that already. I’m sure you will like it. I would like to read another of her books at some point, maybe Rin Tin Tin or there is another that I can’t remember right now.
Sure, I would read Rin Tin Tin or something else by her. I love her stuff enough that I wouldn't mind reading something again even.
Maybe later in the spring? Would that work for you?
Sounds great. In the meantime if you see something else that looks tasty let me know. These days everything I'm reading is fiction, infectious disease, or Edward Gorey, but who knows what I'll get up to next.
I know what you mean. I have been reading mysteries since the beginning of the year but I also have an African memoir going, Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston and a Canadian historical fiction from a GR author. As always, a mix. If I encounter anything that looks good for us to team up on, I’ll let you know too.
Congratulations on exceeding your reading goal for 2019! 👍
Thank you! This may be the only year I didn't change it at any point.
