An Amazing Start on My 2017 Reading Challenges
Ok so I do believe that I would be hard pressed to find two months in the last 15 years where I have read more books than January and February of 2017. In January I read books and so far in February I have read three more! Bringing 2017’s total of books read to 11! In order to achieve my 2017 Reading Challenge goal of 60 books, I need to average 5 books per month. I am already above that average in the first week of February!! Goodreads says that right now I am 5 books ahead of schedule! Woo Hoo!
Now the one bad thing about this is that I have been reading more than writing. Consequently, I am seven books behind in writing reviews. The table below lists that books that I have read so far this year. (The links are to my review of the book)
| No | Title | Author |
| 11 | Black Widow | Chris Brookmyre |
| 10 | All That Man Is | David Szalay |
| 9 | A Foreign Country | Charles Cumming |
| 8 | Livia Lone | Barry Eisler |
| 7 | Ruler of the Night | David Morrell |
| 6 | A Puzzle in a Pear Tree | Parnell Hall |
| 5 | How to Run the World | Parag Khanna |
| 4 | The Lazarus War – Artefact | Jamie Sawyer |
| 3 | The Killing Kind | Chris Holm |
| 2 | In the Midst of Death | Lawrence Block |
| 1 | The Critic | Peter May |
