I'd started out the year with the ambitious goal in mind to read 100 books for fun this year. But, as with too many good things in life, I've had to realign my reading goals to fit with my schedule. So, I lowered my number from 100 to 50 books to read in 2012.

The time crunch stems a lot from my writing more of my own novels. That's a good thing, for me at least. The editing process I use takes up long blocks of time. I'm not bragging about how well my books are edited. I'm just saying that's how I write my books. Going through a recounting of what I'm working on is probably boring, so I'll skip it. My freelance work also takes up some time, but not as much as my own writing does.

Of course, I miss doing my leisure reading and haven't given it up. That'd never happen unless I was in a coma, or worse. Right now I'm reading Russell Atwood's EAST OF A and Robert Colby's THE CAPTAIN MUST DIE on my spiffy Kindle. Colby's book is a gem, too. The old Gold Medal authors had something special going on back in the day. So anyways, I'll keep on posting my read books and their comments on Goodreads, just not as many of them.

Happy reading to you and yours!
