My total for December was pretty low, but better than November! December was 320 pages.
Firstly, I finished volume 1 of Iain Murray’s biography of Martyn Lloyd-Jones: The First Forty Years, 1899-1939.
I started a couple of other books but have put them aside for an undetermined period of time. The first is Sophie Hannah’s Closed Casket and the second is Tim Muldoon’s Ignatian Workout that I mentioned here.
I also started reading two books that were Christmas presents: The World of Croquet by John McCullogh and Stephen Mulliner; and David Saxton’s God’s Battle Plan for the Mind.
I only commenced recording my daily pages read from 1st March but my monthly totals and cumulative averages for the ten months were:
| Month | Total | Cumulative Average |
|---|---|---|
| __________ | _______________ | ____________________ |
| Mar | 512 | 512 |
| Apr | 393 | 453 |
| May | 540 | 482 |
| Jun | 829 | 569 |
| Jul | 1,187 | 692 |
| Aug | 1,553 | 836 |
| Sep | 835 | 836 |
| Oct | 822 | 833 |
| Nov | 274 | 772 |
| Dec | 320 | 727 |
| Tot | 7,265 | 727 |
My total books read/reread during 2024 was 32. That includes books finished in 2024 (and possibly before March). I’ve been keeping a tally of books read since 2010 and I tend to read around 30 to 40 books a year. Sometimes a few less, sometimes a few more.
