So May has come and gone, and we’re at the halfway point to the year. Thought I’d do a round-up post to review last month’s read, and see where we are and what we’ve been up to. (Note the royal “we”.)
The reads for May included:
- A Man from Norlands – John Buchan (1936) F
- Medical Apartheid – Harriet A. Washington (2007) NF
- Hope in the Dark (essays) – Rebecca Solnit (2016) NF
- Americanah – Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie (2014) F
So to the numbers:
Total number of books read in January: 4
Total number of pages read: 1,462 pages (av. 365).
Fiction/Non-Fiction: 2 fiction / 2 non-fiction.
Diversity: 2 POC. 2 books by women.
Library books vs. books I owned (and thus removed from the home abode): 3 library books, 1 owned book and 0 e-books.
Plans for June: I’m planning not to plan. [Hollow laugh. We’ll see how that goes…!] 🙂
Just One More Page... 
I need to keep a note of the diversity in the books I read.
I do it as it’s really interesting, and it keeps me on task… Plus – I am getting exposed to some really great books by searching some of the POC et al. authors out. It’s just rather a fun addition – recommend it.
