I don't think anyone should ever have to apologise for their reading habits, whether they are fast or slow. I'm a fast reader too, and listen to audiobooks when I'm not reading, and I've read about the same number this month, though I'm not sure I've saved any money, despite borrowing audiobooks from the library. I'm trying not to buy books, but have failed dismally in January (much as I did all of 2023).
It's fake savings, because I would not have purchased every book I read from the library, but I get a kick out of it. I went a bit wild with book purchasing last year and have resolved to be more restrained this year... but I bought several things in January so I'm not sure I'm sticking to it.

Happy reading!

Erasure is a tremendous book. Dr. No and The Trees are on my TBR list. And I’m glad you’re keeping your lists coming!
