2006 Reading List - Quarterly Update III

I haven't put that many New books in the library in the last quarter. I've mostly been revisiting old friends and loves. Many Thanks to Devon over at Ink In My Coffee for the interlibrary loan of a sackful of books that I really enjoyed.

I started tracking my reading habits this year as a curiosity; just how many books do I read a year? I am pleased that I've passed (the unstated goal) of at least 52 books a year. Taking a moment to point out that on my current show I have next to no time to read at work. Meaning I technically am doing LESS reading than I did 2 years ago. Although you wouldn't know if from the state of my bookshelves and apartment. After a midsummers purge, I'm officially back to stacking them on the floor again. Additional Bookshelves are definitely going to be in order for the new apartment. What a blessing that I'll have room there for a couple new shelves!

I also find it notable to mention that Anne Rice dominates the top shelf of the bookshelf, and yet she doesn't appear on the 2006 reading list yet. I can't remember a year in the last 8 years where I didn't *Reread The Witching Hour series, although that usually occurs in late fall/early winter. November/December being my favorite time of year to revisit the Mayfairs...
