Books: Looking Back, Looking Forward

Jan. 3rd, 2026 05:47 pm
smallhobbit: (Book pile)
[personal profile] smallhobbit
Looking back to 2025, I did a quick analysis of my books read into three categories:

1) Library/Non-library
40.5 library, 41.5 non-library.  (49.5%/50.5%)  The half book is because I started off borrowing one from the library, realised it would take me a very long time to read it, so bought a cheap second hand copy and read it over nine months.  I'm definitely pleased that half my reading was library books, which is an increase on 2024.

2) Crime/Other Fiction/Non-fiction
38 crime, 35 other fiction, 9 non-fiction.  (46%/43%/9%)  Which will be no surprise at all to most of my friends.  The proportion of crime novels has dropped to below half of my reading, which I'm pleased about, as I am keen to broaden my reading.

3) Male/Female authors
43 male, 39 female.  (52.5%/47.5%)  Not very much in it.  For anthologies I count half each.


As usual for 2026 I have split my reading into 6 lists, with the aim being to read at least one book from each list each month.  They are:
A) Library - initial list of 16 books, which allows for returning one or two unfinished
B) Library - 15 Maigret books, all the Maigret's in the library which I haven't read
C) Book shelf - 15 books, 12 last year's purchases plus 3 crime anthologies
D) Mixed Bag - 12 books, split as follows: 4 odd purchases from years ago; 3 Sister Joan mysteries; 3 Yarn Retreat mysteries; 2 Christmas presents from Son 
E) Book Club - aiming for 1 per month, from Shedunnit, an online group I join occasionally, read Christie etc
F) New Books - purchased new releases or new books in the library
I have signed up for a Goodreads goal of 75 books again.  I realise there are more on my lists, but there's bound to be the odd DNF and I'd rather exceed by a few books than struggle to make it.

Pets! We know them, we probably have positive associations with at least one type of pet, and they've appeared in our creative endeavors since time immemorial. Considering that, we felt that a challenge revolving around them would be appropriate.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!


Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, feel free to entice engagement by giving us a preview of what your post covers.

The Friday Five - Water

[personal profile] smallhobbit
Today's [community profile] thefridayfive quesitons

1. Do you mostly drink tap, filtered, or bottled water?
Tap water at home - I drink at least a litre a day.  If we're out for a meal I'll also ask for tap water.  When travelling, especially abroad, I'll drink bottled water.

2. Is it safe/recommended to drink tap water where you live? If not, why?
Definitely.  And it saves plastic waste.

3. What does the tap water taste/smell like where you live?
I don't think it has a particular taste, and definitely no smell.  Someone else might notice a slight taste if it was different from their own tap water.

4. Do you collect rainwater? If so, what do you use it for?
Yes.  Watering the garden plants, water bowls for the birds, rinsing out waste bins.

5. Do you/have you ever had restrictions on water use where you live? What did you have to change about your lifestyle?
We sometimes have a hosepipe ban during a long, hot summer, but as we don't have a hosepipe, this doesn't make a lot of difference.

Sorry, I'm a day late. But yesterday I had no access to any computer.

The episode I searched for was Foxhole on the Roof. And we have three winners.

Prompt: Endgame
Summary: A moment between two people in an apocalyptic world
Notes/Warnings: This is stylishly somewhat different what I'm used to writing - it's deliberately vague. Let's just say there was a disaster at GD that couldn't be fixed and leave it there.
