Let us take a look at what I have been reading the last four months, May – August. I think I called it a quarter reading update last but I just realised that it was not. Trimestral?

Read books: 26

How are the book goals coming along?
Read at least two of my thickest books: 0 so far (one started though)
Read fewer books to take time to the thick ones: 16 ahead of reading goal (49/50)
Read at least one book in German: 0, not started yet

Since I am still counting books for the book blanket, I have kept track of when the books are originally published. This time we squeezed in a classic, quite a good spread overall I would say.
Before 1920: 1
1920-1939: 1
1940-1959: 4
1960-1979: 2
1980-1999: 4
2000-2019: 8
2020-2025: 8

My unread book collection shrank with 9 books over this time period, and a total of 1 over the whole year so far. I did not make any goals specifically towards shrinking my unread book collection, this year was all about reading and buying what I was in the mood for. But I enjoy following the stats anyway.

I still need to finish at least one of my thickest books. And start a German one. I have been good at reading from different time periods, the book blanket has certainly encouraged me to pick up some books that probably would have spent a little more time on the shelf before I picked it up.

Books I enjoyed reading the most (in the order I read them):
Clean Sweep – Ilona Andrews
Let Sleeping Vets Lie – James Herriot
Iron Kissed – Patricia Briggs (reread)
The Crooked Candle – Erle Stanley Gardner
Delat byte – Janet Evanovich
