This is the 240th month in which I have been keeping records of every book that I have read, and so it brings to an end my series of regular flashbacks to past months. (If you want to know what I’ve been up to in the last few weeks: basically, I went to China for Chengdu WorldCon.) Some analysis of 20 years of bookblogging tomorrow, perhaps, as it’s a day off for me. Meanwhile here are the tallies for the last 31 days:

I have logged 45 books this month, my second highest ever monthly total since I started keeping track in November 2003. A lot of them were very short; a lot were Clarke submissions that I have put aside after fifty or a hundred pages and will get back to some time; also as the new year dawned I had almost finished several books which automatically boosted the total. I’ve also had a high page count, not quite the highest ever but I think in the top five since November 2003. I doubt if the whole year will be like this, but there’s an awfully large pile of Clarke submissions to get through…
