I did not make my reading goal this year. I was 3 books short. I would have made it if I had not gone on vacation halfway through December. Never-mind. It was still a good month for reading. It began with a bang. Two re-reads for the Christie Centenary Read. Went over some rough ground with The Present and The Big Bang -- two authors I won't be revisiting. Doesn't matter. Deacon King Kong, Writing the Bible, Wait for Signs and even the two I read by Matt Haig more than made up for up for the rough spots. Two DNFs this month. The Mickey Spillane was an unfinished manuscript finished by another author and the other was a P.G. Wodehouse that I do plan to return to in 2022. All things considered, December was a bookishly good month and 2021 was a bookishly satisfying year.
I am very far behind on reviewing books, to the point of not remembering what I read and not remembering if I like it or not. Doubt I will catch up. I'd rather read than write.
