And that’s February gone. Already my numbers have dropped, and yes, it’s a shorter month, but it’s not THAT much shorter.

All up, I read eight books, four short of my target. My 22 in 2022 challenge is going okay though, I read another one for that, although I am aware that there are not 22 months in the year, so clearly, I’m going to have to start reading more than one book a month to have a hope of getting to 22 by the end of the year. As to my classics shelf, all I did was ADD to it, rather than actually read anything off of it. If I sound disappointed in myself, it’s because I kind of am. When I was consistently reading 12 books a month, I also still had three children requiring more parenting than what they need now and I was working almost full time as well as running the Australian Women Writers Challenge. I have more time on my hands now, and yet, I still keep falling short of 12 books a month. I am determined to get that average back, so watch this space.

Over to February:
