We’re almost at the end of the observed numbered year, so I thought I’d do one of my little updates and clear off my plate on the matter.

I’ve slipped a bit on consumption since the last update and I think I’ve added a book or two to my completion rate, but I have been adding pages not reflected in the page-count on Goodreads due to unfinished books not appearing in my stats.

If you add the progress I’ve made in my current audiobook (yes, audiobooks count as reading), the two books I am currently reading and the books that I’ve abandoned — totaling approximately another 1000 pages in addition to that number in my official Goodreads stats — I have read approximately 9800 pages since I started tracking my reads in October. Completed books sits at 22, with a high likelihood of adding one or two more this week.

Lessons learned with respect to abandoned reads…
