I FINALLY finished that book I was reading last week! After four months I'm done, and it is with great pleasure and relief and a bit of disappointment that I can say this. Pleasure and relief that I can move on to a new book, and disappointment that it's taken me this long to finish a 368-page book! (Usually I'm done with a 300+ page book in four or five days!)

And because I'm done with the first book of the year, that means this post is my new book list for the year. *smile* I'm not going to make any reading goals this year, I've decided, simply because I've not been able to meet the ones I made the last few years. I've decided to just enjoy any book I read at a leisurely pace this time, and if I read only one chapter per night, or perhaps skip a night or two due to tiredness or illness, then that's ok. I'm not in a race with anyone.

You can find my rating system here if you're wondering how I like to rate the novels I read.
