Woah! 54 books. And still going, although I’m not sure if I’ll finish the book I plan to read next in 2015. So I though it’s a good time to archive my Book 2015 list in a blog post and start the Book 2016 list. Nerd that I am, I calculated my average rating and it comes up to a 3.5. Not bad in a 5-star-system, I think. And even without a calculator I feel like I’ve read more good books than bad ones. And maybe next year I might try my hand at a few more book reviews? For someone who reads a lot that should be an easy topic to write about, right? But more often than not I’m having trouble finding the right words. Daft, maybe…? I guess I could make that a New Years resolution. Or maybe not ;-)
