All told, I "read" 27 books last year. Quite disappointing since I used to easily get through at least one book per week. And... I should qualify that of this 27, 19 of them were books on tape. I just do not have time to read anymore. Long gone are the days of sitting down with a book. The only time I get to "read" (aka listen to a book on tape) is while I'm cleaning the house! It helps pass the time, but I sure wish I had the leisure of sitting down again and curling up with a blanket, hot drink, and a good book!
