One year with JustBooks (contd.)

As I completed one year of my membership with the library, I felt quite a fulfilment - I think I have read more than in any other year (and as I mentioned earlier, almost 5 times than I did in last 5 years put together). In last few years (since I started blogging actively), I had a good time gap between books, which I used to ponder and write reviews, particularly (and usually detailed ones) for the books that affected me more. However, in the spree that I had been on, I was too busy reading to find any time to write. So, at this milestone, I set up for myself the challenging task to do write-ups on the books I read (and am reading since). I didnt plan to do reviews for all (there isn't much to write about a Gardener, or Agatha Christie for that matter), or even full-fledged ones for the ones that I did; but even then, it was a daunting task. More so, since it had been quite long since I read many of them. The initial burst of enthusiasm had me working at quite a fast pace, but then I slacked; yet I didnt give it up midway through, and managed to pick up the pace again, for some time at least. Thus, after 3 months, I can look back with satisfaction on write-ups on my 2014 readings - 12 small notes and 6 detailed reviews in all (excluding one that I had done much earlier). And on my way for the 2015 list.
