May 2020 Summary

Thirty-three years of tracking my reading

Previous month

May 2020 Sources: 06/02/20

May was the second full month of shelter in place for COVID-19 precautions, and June will probably be too. Also June is starting off with 8PM to 5AM curfews because of civil unrest. Time at home was once again caring for puppy, painting, playing video games, chores, reading, and now reading through the news.

Like the previous two months, I read 12 TBR books. I also read four books published in May. Thirteen books were for research. None were from the library. Those two extra new books caused a rise in my ROOB score, from -3.42 to -2.59. That score is in keeping for most May scores.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

May 2020, the ROOB trendline continues downwards. May is higher (meaning worse) than April and on a par with February and March. Too many things are in flux right now to make a prediction for June's score.

My average for May stayed the same at -2.56.
