Now although stats would suggest that the to-read pile has grown this month, it has actually diminished a lot – despite my purchases – because I’ve had a massive clear out (what my mother would call a rationalisation) of books – including the pile – I’ve been through and weeded out stuff that’s been loitering for ages that deep down I knew I’d never get around to – and a few books that I’ve been given that I know will linger. So my local charity shop was the lucky recipient of three bags of books – mostly stuff that I’d read once and knew I wouldn’t read again, but with a fair few books from the pile too. I also weeded out of the pile books that my mother had lent me that I hadn’t got around to reading and handed them back. I can always borrow them again when the pile is under control.
* Total includes some short stories/novellas (8 this month)
