I am readed out
Mar. 27th, 2012 03:15 pmFor the past couple of years I have been tracking my reading habits. I typically average 4 or 5 books a month. As we approach the end of March I have completed 24 books this year.
Ten novels and six collections were read because they were eligible for Hugo Nomination. Two books were free copies I received in return for promising to post reviews.
With all of that reading I am finding that my interest in audio-fiction has revived. I have been checking out podiobooks (Emperor's Edge book 2), podcastle (Happy 200th episode), and Escape Pod. I have started listening to I should be writing in addition to Writing Excuses. Production has resumed on The Points Between.
This week when I returned the library books, I saw that someone had just returned the Unabridged Audio (9 CD set) of The Hunger Games (which I had been hoping to read before I saw the movie). I could not pass the chance up, and now I am 2/3 the way through book one.
I still have stacks of books I can read, as well as some beta-reading I could do, but for now I'm giving my eyes a break and using my ears.
