Reading in February and March

Here it is at last - the reading update for February and March.

I haven't tackled the TBR pile as much as I'd liked but continued listening to audio books. 15 out of the 20 books belonged to a series - yes I did start some new ones because of availability but I do want to dwindle down my series to something more manageable *grin*.

2015 reading by month

I thought I had achieved my Goodreads goal of 50 books until I noticed that a book that I'd read had been added twice, and the list on this blog had another title added incorrectly.

I ALMOST made it - 49 books read in 2015.

I'm such a visual person and I've used LibraryThing widgets for many years but not for a while in my posts.

Here is 2015 by month in visual (widget) form...

So not a bad reading year for the year I've had.

May 2016 be a great reading year for you!!
