Looking Forward to 2021

 
 
The year 2021 is going to be a good year for reading, or at least for my reading. 
 
As usual, I have no specific reading plan for the year. I will continue with the Agatha Christie read and with the BL games that I have been playing for the last few years. I hope to spend my 24 annual Audible credits wisely and well and I hope to once again break the 200 book barrier and maybe even .

The new Audible Plus Catalog of free reads will help. They have plenty of the kinds of  stories that I like to read but don't want to spend credits on. It is like having a library card but with more choices.
 
This might be the year that I finally read all three volumes of Master of the Senate and get to the last two volumes of the the Mark Twain Autobiography. There will also be more Discworld, more Inspector Ian Rutledge, more Walt Longmire and a few other newer series that I stumbled into this past year. And I will continue to avoid horror, dystopia, dysfunctional families, self-help, vampires, zombies,  graphic violence and all the other stuff that is not my idea of an enjoyable read. Bring on the brain candy.

Nonetheless, for one who claims to have no reading plans for the coming year, I have been stocking up on titles found in the Audible sale piles and I have been hoarding them, waiting for the new year to dive into my newest acquisitions. Not including Plus Catalog titles, here is what is waiting for me...

September. 2020: To Be Read

Many thanks to Blogger for the absurd layout of this page. One day I will figure how to make images work on this platform.
So this is my TBR shelf, books I have lined up waiting to read. It will grow between now and January 11 when my Audible account renews and I receive my annual allotment of 24 credits. I have to spend my 10 remaining 2020 credits before then. I like to get the best bang for my buck, so I hold on to them, hoping to find something in the next 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 sale.
Audible just added something called Audible Plus and I can stream certain books for free. Great! Now I don't have to depend on my local library when I want something new to read but I don't want it badly enough to waste a credit on it.
