Reading - September 2016

Guys, I literally couldn't list all the books I've read in the past two-point-two weeks.

I started.  I tried.  But the list is so long that it got crazy.

A lot of these were either a) started before and just finished (sometimes, they were abandoned with only a few pages left), or b) read really, really quickly (skimmed, essentially, stopping to read parts I didn't know already).  Others were devoured via audiobook while doing other decluttering stuff.  (On 1.5 speed, because time is of the essence when I get on a tear...)

I finally gave up keeping a list.  There are more than this.  A lot more than this.  A whole stack of art books.  A whole slew of writing books that I've outgrown/never needed/why did I buy this again?  A literal pile of herbals, because clearly, I needed seventeen encyclopedias with the same info in them as every other one in the stack.

Anyway, I just copied and pasted all my Goodreads from the first fifteen days of September.  Easier.  And I need easy, because there's something like thirty of them left on my table that I need to get to.

THIS is why my writing retreat week is postponed until next time, though I'm reading lots of writing books this week, so it's kind of not. :)
