Stray Saturday Night Observations
- I've read 85 books so far in 2012. If I want to reach my goal of 150 books this year, I'll need to be reading just about four books a week for the rest of the year. That's gonna take some doing.
- My Kindle TBR piles (Galleys TBR and YA TBR) are teetering at a combined total of 24 books. Just at this moment, most of my physical TBR piles are hidden away in boxes, but that didn't stop me from picking up two books I've been wanting to read (Between Shades of Gray and Please Ignore Vera Dietz) in paperback when we visited our new local indie bookstore yesterday. It's a sickness.
- I've finally figured out what a Tumblr does; if you're interested in my feelings about TV (they are myriad) or pictures of the food I make for TV-themed parties (the only kind I throw) it's here.
- I've really missed blogging regularly during the move, and I'm pretty excited to be back to it!
That's an amazing reading goal. You can do it. Mine 60. Hoping I make it too.
ReplyDeleteI wanted a goal that would require me to actively make more time for reading at home. This...this is that goal :)
DeleteWow. My goal for the year is 52, a book a week (give or take). Wish I had time for more. I loved VERA DIETZ and have BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY in my pile as well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal!
I was lucky enough to have a long train commute last school year--but now my time is a lot less structured. I will have loads more free time...but I will also have to make myself step away from the internets, sit on the couch (or the porch!) and read. I'm hoping the public goal will make me do that.
DeleteI picked up a copy of BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY the other day and I'm looking forward to reading it. I think it's a shades of gray book that actually deserves to be read, unlike that other hot mess. :) We'll have to compare thoughts on it.
