I am an avid reader. And let me tell you, when Todd bought me my first Nook it totally saved our marriage. I've since graduated from the Nook to an iPad Mini, and being able to read in bed without a light on is amazing. Also, being able to go on vacation and not lug my weight in books is also amazing. There was one 2 week sailing trip where I read 7 books in 2 weeks. Over our vacation in Turks and Caicos last summer I read 5, you can see what I read here. It's so awesome to be able to fit my iPad into my purse and not have to carry around some whomper of a book.
At any rate, I beat my 2016 record. Last year I read only 22,043 pages. Only. Ha! This year I read 27,562. Here's the list of everything I've read in 2017. However I do post a blog each month about my top 3 that I read for that month, so stay tuned for that one, but you can see the old ones on my blog page.
