One of my favourite pastimes is heading to bed early with a good book.
Although I was confined to bed I just didn't feel like reading when I was in hospital for 24 long days in October. I didn't manage to read many books and thus fell behind in my Goodreads Reading Challenge. While in hospital my head was woozy from the pain medications and, with canulas in each arm so I couldn't hold a book, conditions for reading were a challenge.
I only managed to read four books in October (two of them before I was admitted to hospital.)
 | 3.87 |  | ||||||
 | 4.09 | | ||||||
 | 3.48 | | ||||||
 | 3.55 |
As a result I adjusted my reading goal of 120 titles in 2023 down to 110 titles.
After leaving hospital on 30 October I found myself in an environment that was conducive to breaking the reading drought. With little else to do I have read 12 titles in November and am on track to complete the reading challenge by the end of 2023.
From Goodreads:
More books for my TBR pile Jill. I like John Boyne so adding him to my list. Good to see you up and at it again.
ReplyDeleteI gave the John Boyne 5 stars - I had to keep reading.
