Inspired by Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness (and others), I'm taking a look back at my half-year in reading. (Since I'm still typing one-handed, it will be a relatively brief look.) I'm pretty satisfied with my 2010 reading so far, both in quality and numbers.
Currently, my LibraryThing reviews are more up-to-date than my reviews on the blog; I've changed my routine to post them there as soon as they're written, while the reviews here post as scheduled and are mixed with other content. In any case, I've pulled some of my stats from LT.
Basic stats:
Total books read and reviewed year-to-date: 26 (slightly ahead of 2009)
Review copies read (ARCs, tours, other sources): 14
My books read, paper: 9
My books read, e-books (Kindle): 3
Fiction: 20
Nonfiction: 6
Reading Challenges progress:
Read Your Own Books Challenge 2010: read 10 out of 20 committed, right on schedule! (Note that I didn't count two of "my" books for this; one was a re-read not previously reviewed, and one was an e-book read for a blog tour)
Memorable Memoirs Reading Challenge: read 5 (one review still to be posted), only 4 required (but I haven't linked up all the reviews yet!)
Women Unbound Reading Challenge: read 2 out 5 committed, non-fiction commitment met!
Blogging Authors Reading Project: read 6 (half of them by Beth Kephart)
