Nan's Reads in 2026 > Likes and Comments

I want to reduce the number of books on my bookshelves, Nook, and Kindle. I have about 1500 books between them. I have other goals which will be listed in my monthly statistics.

Statistics:
0/80 books

In January, I read/completed four books (not exactly off to a good start, but then I was preparing for a review presentation for a book group so much of my time was spent re-reading, writing, and working out the detail).

By the way, because of the bitterly cold weather the meeting was postponed until February so I still have to do the review.

In February, I read/completed four books (as well as did the review presentation, but now am working on a month-long project that has turned my focus away from reading). I need to sort out my priorities!

Most of the e-books will also be owned books.

In March, I read/completed five books. I actually have several books going at this time, and hopefully, will complete those as well as reading other books I have committed myself to read over the next month.

In April, I read/completed only three books. I don't remember the last time I completed only three books in a month. On the other hand, I have about four or five books nearly completed so May may be a bit better.
