My 106 books included some great reads, but I only chose a few to highlight. I reread The Tale of Genji on audio (72 hours) and finished a multi-year read of all the Sherlock Holmes stories (71 hours). Kristin Lavransdatter was my longest print read and an amazing story. I included Heartstone on this graphic, but really it should be the Shardlake series. Fingersmith & The Colour were fascinating #1001books. A Tree A Day was great nonfiction.
This year I read 33 books from the #1001books list which included 2 rereads to bring my current total to 320 of the 1318 on the list.
Most memorable reads from this year include Kristin Lavransdatter, Fingersmith, and The Colour.

My average rating was 3.82 stars. Which is not bad, I can be stingy with my ratings. But I'd still like to increase it a bit for 2026, by avoiding reading books that end up being in the 2-star range 😂 I should perhaps bail more often.

I really enjoy BookSpinBingo as a visual way to track my reading from month to month. This year I completed 106 books.

I finished a few more long reads this month as well as a few middle grade reads, some holiday reads, and a few others for a total of 17 books. Both Kristin Lavransdatter and A Tree A Day were fantastic long reads!

I didn‘t listen to as much nonfiction as I hoped, but it was still a good month overall. I also fit in some great middle grade reads and a couple from the 1001 list.

I don‘t feel like I read very much in October nor was there an absolutely amazing book, but it was an enjoyable reading month.

September was a good reading month with some truly interesting books. I think Tombland was my favorite, but I enjoyed almost all of these.

I listened to some great books this month and managed to read a few in print as well. I think Fingersmith was the favorite as it definitely kept me intrigued.

This month I had hardly any print reading time, so I only finished one ebook and am behind on readalongs. My favorite listen was Wild Dark Shore.
