Reading a lot of books at once :P

Yep, welcome to my ADHD life LOL (Never been diagnosed as such but it wouldn't surprise me :P )
I accidentally put Game, Set and Match as "reading" - I've already read it. Does that help? :D

I didn't get as much read as I had wanted, but I got 6 books done. I will post the February list tonight as well.

Kind of late to start for January for me. Here's my retroactive goal.

Goal: 1
The only one I could finish was this:
1. Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.

I'm currently reading a rather long book which I had no chance of finishing this month. I'll have some shorter ones after.

Did you read all 5 books in the "trilogy" for that book, or just the first one?

Nikki wrote: "Did you read all 5 books in the "trilogy" for that book, or just the first one? "

I've been reading them one at a time. I read only the third book this year. The others were several months ago.

Goal: Numeric goals are so confining. My goal is to continue reading while I'm brushing my teeth, watching TV and vacuuming, to read books more minutes than I spend on FB, Pinterest and Twitter combined, and to read books that challenge me to be a better writer.
So far this month:
1) The first three books by Bed McMaster
2) The Baskerville Affair trilogy by Emma Jane Holloway
3) The first two books in the Reforged trilogy by Erica Lindquist
Should finish the third book, Hammer of Time, before bedtime tonight.
