Following on from the 'How many books do you read in a year ?' thread - A first quarter review

Following Poseys thread at the start of the year, some of us decided to keep a record of what we read. So, at the end of the first quarter how many have you read and how does it compare to your estimate (extrapolated of course !).

I said about 50 nowadays.

So far this year I have read 9. So extrapolated that would only make approx 40.

These were:

Can Any Mother Help Me ? Jenna Bailey
Gates of Fire Stephen Pressfield
Ballet Shoes Noel Streatfield
On Chesil Beach Ian McEwan
The Mitford Girls Mary S. Lovell
Playing With The Moon Eliza Graham
The Good Husband of Zebra Drive A McCall Smith
The Virgins Lover Phillipa Gregory
Daughter of Fortune Isabel Allende

Anyone else been a saddo like me ?

I also estimated 50 and am on my 6th I think so that would extrapolate to only 24 but I always read loads on holiday so will increase my number. I can't remember all I have read - may re-visit this thread at home.

What I can remember:
The Grapes of Wrath John Steinbeck
Love and Mr Devon Alan Titchmarsh
Winnie the Pooh AA Milne
Tess of the D'Urbervilles Thomas Hardy

The other books I have read have been inconsequential easy reading types from the library but following on from that thread I did start to keep a list. I am obviously also a saddo.
