I've read eight books this year, which is actually more books than I've read in the past three years total. Remember how I said I was switching my reading time to before I went to bed? I've actually finished reading five books since then.

This has corresponded with a drop in me reading short fiction. It's not a time conflict, as I never spent any time reading short fiction before bed. I think it may be a shift in priority on what I want to read. I've been telling myself for years that I need to get back into reading actual books as the stack of books in my physical to-be-read pile kept on growing, but I was never able to get around to doing something about that stack of books until now.

It does feel great to make progress on reading physical books, but I think I'm neglecting reading stories a little too much. I only managed to read 6 in June when I wanted to read at least 9. The priority shift from short fiction to books is fine, but this? Not so much.
