My goal this month is to finish 5 books, and 1500 pages, give or take. I also plan to post my progress better now that I finally got a new laptop and don't have to contend with my old one or my daughter.Well, I didn't make my book goal, but I did finish 4 books and read 1236 pages.
The books i finished are:
The Big Cat Nap: The 20th Anniversary Mrs. Murphy Mystery
The Bride Wore Black Leather
Cinnamon Roll Murder
Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land Through the Five Books of MosesA good week even if my goals weren't met.
Jennifer, thank you soooo much! I would get online after loading up my laptop, check my inbox, and just when I would be about to make the topic, my mom would tell me to shut the laptop down so we could go somewhere lol.My goals for this week will be to finish the manga books I got this weekend. I got three, but I've already started one that I hope to finish on the trip home. So it might be two mangas and a library book.
NOTICE:
On the daylong poll you all voted to have it on the 14th, which would've been the first day. Therefore, we will have the daylong readathon on tomorrow, July 16th.
I am going for 2 and if I am lucky 3 books this time. I will be working a lot of 12 hour shifts this week and still unpacking so I don't know how much reading time I will get in. I don't think I will finish an audiobook but maybe I can get some time in this week. The one I am reading is forever long!Reading Plan:
Marked (pg. 79-?)
The Winds of War (audiobook)
The Awakening
Leaving Paradise
Shiver
After finally settling into my new home I think I am ready to be a reading fool. I hope to finish at least 8 books and will be trying to read for as much as the 24 hours as possible. Do we start at midnight our time, or are we setting a specific start time?I also hope to get all of my challenges updated this week.
