Reading 2019

My target for 2019 was to get through 30 books (including Audible audio books). As it turned out, I only managed to complete 17 books in any form! I can really feel the detrimental effect of the smartphone age on reading books. I have Kindle on my phone so that I can read when I’m on public transport. However, my first priority is to catch up with my chess games on Gameknot.com. After that, I spend too much time aimlessly scrolling Facebook, or checking email. Let’s see if I can do better in 2020…
