I ended up reading 28 books in 2024 which is 5 books less than I read in 2023 and almost half as many of the 50 books I read in 2022. So the plan is to definitely read more than 28 books in 2025 or it'll start to look like I'm devolving with age. I'll try to buy fewer books this year as I have so many unread books piled up around me. I can't promise anything though as I … [Read more...] about Books I Have Read in 2025

Books Read in 2024
This is the third year that I have been keeping track of the books that I have finished reading. See the Books I read in 2023, the Books from 2022 and my Top 5 Books from last year. I finished reading 33 books last year which was down quite a bit on the previous year, so I'm looking to increase that number to about 50. I'm not going to set any goals to read more on this … [Read more...] about Books Read in 2024
The Best Books I Read for the Year
The number of books I read in 2023 dropped quite a bit on 2022. I finished 50 in 2022 and only got around to reading 33 in 2023. A few personal issues may have been the reason and maybe the books I'm buying are a bit chunkier, who knows. It was a bit of a blah year for me but I still enjoyed my books. I haven't been buying too many new books as I already have a few boxes … [Read more...] about The Best Books I Read for the Year
Books I Have Read in 2023
This is the second year that I have been keeping track of the books that I have finished reading. See the Books that I read in 2022 here and my Top 5 Books for the year. I plan to read 4 or 5 books each month. The goal is 52 books for the year or a book per week on average. I say on average because I'm always reading multiple books at any one time and I finish them in … [Read more...] about Books I Have Read in 2023
Top Five Books I Read in 2022
In 2022 I started taking note of every book that I read so that I can keep track of them and remind myself of the good bits from the best books. I started out keeping track of them in notebooks but then I thought, why not make a website and share them with everyone? I had a domain name sitting around collecting dust and voila! ThinkMonk.com came to life! I'm still not … [Read more...] about Top Five Books I Read in 2022
The Books I Have Read in 2022
These are the books that I have read in 2022. I started out reading three books per month, then four, and have found that five is the right number for me. I read lots of books at one time so I can choose how many I finish in one month. If it's the twentieth of the month and I have already finished 5 books then I'll focus more on some of the big 600+ page tomes! January 2022 … [Read more...] about The Books I Have Read in 2022

A Book a Week: 52 Books a Year
Welcome to the new Think Monk blog where I share a new book each week. At the moment I'm reading 5 books each month and the plan is to share them here online. I read multiple books at once, so I don't actually finish one book each week. There could be 10, 20 or more books on the go at any one time. Three weeks might pass and I don't finish reading any books and then I might … [Read more...] about A Book a Week: 52 Books a Year
