Speaking Volumes

Nobody reads anymore anyway...I'm certain you've read that declaration
somewhere. A bit of an oxymoron in itself, isn't it? when you consider you had to read to have read this nonsense. 
 
Frankly I'm amazed at how much people are reading.
 
Just look at these figures from my GoodReads account:
 
103,480 people rated The Hunger Games by by Suzanne Collins
71,277 rated Catching Fire  by Suzanne Collins
45,827 rated Mockingjay  by Suzanne Collins
11,694 have rated The Passage by Justin Cronin
10,581 for The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
14,635 The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
16,151 Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
 
and these are just a few of the numbers generated from my list of
books that I've read and rated.
 
Nobody's reading anymore...and certainly not at Saxton B. where last year we loaned 73,343 items, 6,925 items than the previous year.
 
As a life long reader even I was amazed at the figures above. I'm happy to say reading is alive and well. Long live reading! And Happy Reading to all of you!
 
So seeing you're reading, we'd love to have you share what you're reading at the moment by making a comment on the blog.
