Assuming they let non-members in to the Goodreads pages, see what they prepared for me as My Year in Books on their website. Fun stats! In short, my goal for the year was a book-a-month or 12 books and they have me down for 15 books which is not bad, but I read Little Women which is a part of one huge electronic book Ten Books You Must Read Before You Die and I haven’t read the others yet, so they did not count it. And I just finished the fifth book of The Chronicles of Narnia series which Goodreads has not counted because the electronic book is all 7 books + a bonus Lewis book all together counted as one. So that would make 20 books! Not as good as my 24 books in 2021, but that was a year of both cancer treatment and a world-wide pandemic! 🙂 Here’s this year’s list and I’ve already started the 6th book in Chronicles of Narnia, The Silver Chair! 🙂

But comparing books is like comparing apples and oranges! 🙂
And oh yes, I have a lot more to share about my Christmas trip to Arenal Volcano, but been swamped with things that must be done on my return, so more after the New Year is in!
¡Pura Vida!
Congratulations on reading twenty books. Very impressive. Even more impressive if you affirm you read all of them with one eye!
Larry,
Ha, ha! Well you work with what you have and I mostly read with just my right eye, though I’m leaving the left one uncovered most of the time and it helps a little, though it tries to read through almost constant watering and sometimes burning. And lots of people read with just one eye! You do what you have to! And I don’t even think about it now! 🙂
Thanks for reading my blog and Happy New Year Larry! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
