On November 29, 2010, I purchased my first Kobo e-reader and started keeping track of all the books I was reading. Well, the 1 year anniversary was a couple of days ago and I have read 94 books. Not all were on the Kobo, I also have a kindle and I do sometimes read an actual book. The breakdown of those 94 books go like this: 74 novels, 1 non-fiction, 7 short stories and 12 novellas. I read online the other day that the average person reads 5 books a year. I guess I'm not average.
Reading has always been important to me. I remember my parents reading to me at night before bed and thanks to my sister, I learned to read at an early age. When I started school, I was already in love with reading and books. As a young boy I read mystery and adventure books like Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators and Encyclopedia Brown. I also loved the choose your own adventure books. Mysteries and thrillers are still my favorites although I have been branching out and trying other genres. Two of the best books I read this year would not be considered mysteries, Water for Elephants and The Help.
On my next post I will continue my year in review by telling you about my favorite book of the year. I welcome your comments on this page and please send me your reviews and I will post them also. Send them to treyanderson2930@gmail.com
