My kitchen/diner ,where my computer and preferred reading space is, was remodelled 4 years ago,the radiator was moved,and there was no longer any space for the TV stand. My husband uses the livingroom TV for nothing but news and documentaries,so I now watch minimal TV,and dont miss it a bit. I might not go out to socialize,since I have been almost housebound for the last few years with a stroke and arthritis,but I have a big family who live nearby and are popping in and out daily. They are used to me reading so i dont have to fully engage with them,bit I do miss some valuable reading time! When my granddaughter was only 18 months old,she noticed for some reason that I had left my book over on another chair and solemnly brought it over to me. Nana and her book ten feet apart? Inconceivable.
So in spite of all the interruptiona i normally read 12-16 books a month. However,only about 8 of them are SF/F,as i am eclectic in my tastes. Still,since I joined WWEnd for all their lists - I am a listaholic,I no sooner see one than I want to read all the books on it - I am finally making some inroads on the Hugos and Nebulas lists,but not doing so well on fantasy and horror. But I have a long way to catch up with Englebrecht. Serves me right for being away from the genre for decades,or I would try to give him a run for his money! :0. But you and I seem to be on quite similar levels in the stats.Watch out,I'll be treading on your heels soon!
