As I look at my books from this year I see some I love and some I... didn't.  I see that I will be starting the year with another Sarah Addison Allen book --the perfect way to start the year in my opinion as I love her work!  But mostly I see books missing.  I feel like I didn't read enough this year, not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't have time to write reviews.  (I have two reviews to write from October!)  I know lots of bloggers can keep reading and go back and do it later, but I feel like I'm doing a disservice to the author, his/her work, and our readers by not reviewing it while it's fresh in my mind before moving on to something else.  So I have to make a decision whether I'm not going to review every book I read or whether I'm going to continue to allow it to slow me down...

...any thoughts?  How was your year in books?

  2. I feel like I defintely didn't read enough. I want to read more in 2015. I was introduced to Ken Follett and love his books. I'm currently on the 2nd of a trilogy. I love reading book reviews. However you choose to do them is fine.
