Thank you, I’m hoping it will be more helpful than the one I did in 2013!

Can’t believe you’ve read this many books already. Seriously, how do you do it? Any hints?

Thank you. I am lucky in that I read fairly fast and I got into the habit of reading before I went to sleep as a small child so there is very rarely a day I don’t read for at least 30 minutes, often longer!

Great way of indexing your reads – and you are much more disciplined about your reviews than me. Good work, Cleo.

Thank you – last year’s good idea turned into a bit of a nightmare to format, my only problem comes choosing which genre to put some of the books in!

Do you spend a lot of time on it Cleo? Any tips? I feel like I’m such a slow reader, when I see what you get through!

Reading is what I do for relaxation, I don’t watch a huge amount of tv and I’m lucky that I read fairly quickly. I have always (as long as I can remember) read each night before I go to sleep and now my offspring have grown up I have more free time in the evenings/weekends to indulge. I do carry my kindle back and forth to work but rarely read it, even bookworms need to engage with real people too 😉 The main thing is that you enjoy it! Unlike many bloggers I read, write my review and then move onto the next book rather than pondering on the book before reviewing, because that works for me. Just carry on reading good books, this should be about your enjoyment.
