Books Finished This Week:

I can’t say this was a bad week really. I also can’t say it was a great week either. At least reading wise. I actually had a pretty wonderful week. I’ve gotten to experience some wonderful things. I’ll even be going to see an early release movie tomorrow! I basically wound up watching more television than reading this week. Normally I’d beat myself up over it, but I think I needed to get my mind off things.

My Activity This Week:

Pages Read: 332
Hours Read: 6
Books Finished: 1
Best Read Day: 111 Pages/ 140 Minutes

I’d love to hear about your week of reading!

Last week was a very productive week for me. In more ways than one. I’m finally starting to get somewhere where a routine is concerned. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I am getting there. That’s important to me. Here’s to another great week!

Plan to Start:

  1. Divine Rivals
  2. You Wouldn’t Dare
  3. Ander And Santi Were Here
  4. The Middle Daughter
  5. Nature’s Strike
  6. Escape from the Asylum

This may be a stretch. It may not. Two of the titles aren’t in my schedule. I just really want to read them. I’ve been waiting forever! Hopefully I will have time to at least start them. This week is a readathon week so we shall see!

Books I Hope to Make Progress On:

  1. Where Darkness Blooms
  2. Dioramas
  3. The Witch and the Vampire
  4. Not That Kind of Ever After
  5. The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway
  6. Hitler’s Aristocrats

Goals for the Week:

  1. Keep at daily goals and log-ins.
  2. Get and keep a job.

I was fully ready to say that I really hadn’t read that much this week. The fact that I managed to finish three books tells me that I was wrong and being too hard on myself.

I didn’t read as much as I have been lately, but it’s okay.
