When it came to series, I was convinced that I was in the midst of five or maybe six of them but surely no more than ten. This week I found out that I was way off the mark with my estimations. The current tally is a grand total of 24. I found out because I decided I had to come up with a system to track them and so set out to do up a spreadsheet.

I haven’t done the Math yet, I did save a few hundreds of dollars on the books I read last year. This is because I borrowed and read a lot of library books instead of buying them. (Although, I still bought a fair amount of books.) It’s one of the many reasons I love libraries.

New year’s is the time to make resolutions or at least to decide whether or not we are game for resolutions. On a personal level, I rarely make resolutions. But when it comes to reading, I have taken to setting yearly goals. As with any hobby, I usually aim to better myself in one way or another. This is where reading challenges come into play.

Book reviews are relative. Book reviews are subjective. Objectivity doesn’t exist, especially not when it comes to qualitative analyses of books rather than quantitative ones. This means that the relativity of book reviews is pretty much inevitable.
