Previous month's book sources

The quarantines are over and October ended up being the closest to normal we've had in a long time. I've been keeping busy with scanning and color correcting my in-laws' large slide collection. I'm currently working on a box from the early 1970s.

I'm enjoying the relaxed reading and reviewing schedule. Those nights off from posting are nice. I'm still enjoying blogging but I have other things that I can do instead.

ROOB Score for the last three years

In October I read 17 TBR books, up from September's 26 TBR. I read two books published in October. Three books were for research. None were for review. The new books raised my score from -4.6 to -3.73. It's the second best October I've had in twelve years.

ROOB score mapped year after year to compare trends

As the year is wrapping up and I want to get through more recent purchases, I expect my ROOB score will climb higher to maybe -3 or even as high as -2.5.

ROOB monthly averages

My average for October improved from -2.16 to -2.29.
