Checking in on my reading for this year. As of today I have finished 48 books of which 32 were free e-books I downloaded from Amazon Prime and two newsletters that come to my email with discount/free book offers daily. I have two comics and 26 books on my physical unread shelf and am currently … Continue reading Reading Goals 2019 Update
Here we are back at the turning of the year and new goals to be set. Two years ago I set a goal of 100 books to read for the year and found myself rushing to meet the goal which was not enjoyable. So 2018 I set the goal of only 10 books which I … Continue reading 2019 Reading Goals
Happy New Year! To follow up on the previous post for reading goals, I am writing this to get it into my head and continue fleshing out my thoughts on it. 2017 was a huge reading year for me. I read 96 books according to Goodreads. Pretty good considering we traveled quite a bit and … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals Are Set
As this year winds down I have been giving some thought to my reading goals for next year. In 2017 my very loose goal, more just a tracking system to keep count, was 100 books and at the moment I am at 89 so I'll be in the 90's by the end of December but … Continue reading 2018 Reading Goals
Wow I have read 50 books so far this year. I'm pretty happy with that number although according to my Goodreads goal set for the year I'm 10 books behind schedule to make it to 100. Hmm So I should have made the 50 books statement back in June basically. haha The goal is a … Continue reading 2017 Reading Update
After such a rather serious post yesterday, I had a spontaneous thought when glancing at my bookmarks today. I'm very slowly gathering a nice little collection and hope to add to it. Since adulthood I have never turned down or marked inside a book (text books exempt) just because I personally like to keep books … Continue reading My Bookmarks
2016 has been a year of reading for me mostly because of not being employed and living overseas but also because my love of books has been rekindled. That being said I have also dove into some books the last few months that were not to my taste. I didn't know I really had … Continue reading 2016 Year of Reading
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley - My GoodReads review: I found this rather gripping and hard to put down which says a lot for a romance novel for me. At the time I was reading it I needed a bit of an escape and found it nicely in these "pages". I also love stories … Continue reading First Quarter 2016 Book Review
It's been ages since I did a book review, you probably think I haven't been reading eh? Not so, in fact I do have my GoodReads account pinned to the side panel if you are interested in what I'm reading at any given time (when I remember to update it hehe). 2015 had me reaching … Continue reading The Codex Alera Book Review
Preparing for a long journey took all of two minutes for me. I already knew the book I wanted to read on the way there and the book I wanted to read on the way home. Two hour +/- bus ride to the airport, 12 hour +/- flight and I should have "Divergent" the first … Continue reading Death By Sponsor
