Books

 I was up early to greet Ellie. By 6:50, she still hadn't arrived. I checked for messages. Zoe had been given an extra day off, and I didn't need to worry. Oh well, I was up anyway! At the appropriate time, I wandered around the corner to join them for the walk to school. It had been very wet, but the rain had stopped for the school run. We dropped Ellie, and I set off for my traditional walk. I was wearing my full waterproof gear just in case the rain restarted, but I got away with a dry hour.

I have been wondering about the books that I have read. I keep a spreadsheet detailing each book, but this only started in 2022... what about the books that I read before that? You can ask Amazon to send you all of the data it holds on you, so I did this yesterday evening. This morning, the data had been collated and was ready for me to download. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to easily filter the data to select just books (be they paperback, Kindle, audio, or Kindle Unlimited). This meant that I had all of my Amazon transactions stretching back to 1998 to look through. It took a few hours, but I think I now have a comprehensive list of titles going back over the years. I now must find a way to incorporate these into my existing spreadsheet... and see if I can determine the authors of each book (that data isn't in the data dump).

We had a quiet hour or so in the lounge with our Kindles this afternoon.
