December 2019 Summary: 01/01/20

December was busier than November, taken up with painting, drawing, planning for the holidays, the holidays themselves. With everything going on I wasn't inclined to push myself to read during free time. Schedules I had made back in fall had to be revised.

One change was I started using the library again, albeit in a limited way. I'm restricting myself to only one or two books out at a given time. I have to read what I have out and return it before getting something else. Likewise I'm keeping my hold requests to one or two at a time.

I read more books in December, 29, up from the previous months' 21. I made my my diverse reading goal. It wasn't as spectacular as November.

January I will be focusing on selling my art. First I have a commission to finish. I don't know how my reading will be affected.

On the reviews front, I continued to mostly review diverse books. As I've worked through most of my backlog of reviews, the posted reviews closely mirror my monthly reading.

I only have 2018 and 2019 read books to post on my blog. My reviews to post from 2018 is down to 25 from 27, and my 2019 books to review are down to 72 from 74.
