"I was born with a reading list I will never finish."
~Maud Casey
My cancer diagnosis changed so many things about me, including my ability to enjoy books. For several years, with my time being consumed by being sick and exhausted from doctor appointments, treatment and surgeries, I just didn't have the energy to read a book. Even after life returned into my new normal I had a hard time concentrating. Chemo brain is real, folks.
This is the first year that I've been able to take the time to enjoy books again. Right before Christmas I realized I had read 96 books, and I told Hubby I wanted to make it to 100. Needless to say, for the past ten days I have been a reading machine. Not only did I reach that goal, but I surpassed it! I'm currently at 104 books with two days left in the year to still read. 😀
My reading stats on Goodreads clearly show when I was mired down in cancer world. While I'm not even at fifty percent of the books I read at my busiest in 2009, I'm clearly on my way back to being a voracious reader.....a fact that makes me happy, but Hubby not so much! ha ha
