juliebarkley Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have so far worked my way through a book of Golden Age detective stories, and am now working through The Three Musketeers, one chapter a day. It's going to take a while. But since my goal is daily reading and not a target number of books per year, I can afford to take my time on longer books. Though I do have a pile of library books that I should give some attention to. 3 Quote Challenge archive Link to comment
bigm141414 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Since....two days ago, I've finished another 2 novels. So that is 15 for me so far. To be fair, one was a non fiction that I've been working on since February and only have to finish like 80 pages. The second was Nevernight, mentioned by Mad Hatter. Definitely a very bloody hogwarts with assassins. Fun and quick since I finished it in less than a day. I'm going to run out of things to read at this pace. 2 1 Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment

Go figure. 😄 Same. One thing I found that helped me was short story anthologies. I found it was a lot easier to commit to 20-30 pages of a complete story, than a similar length chapter of a full book. 2 Quote Current Challenge # 39 | #38 | #37 | #36 | #35 |#34 | #33 | #32 | #31 | #30 | #29 | #28 | #27 | #26 | #25 | # 24 | #23 | #22 | #21 | #20 | #19 | #18 | #17 | #16 | #15 | #14 | #13 | #12 | #11 | #10 | #9| #8 | #7 | #6 | #5 | #4 | #3 | #2 | #1 | Battle Log Instagram | Goodreads Link to comment

Part of the enjoyment for me is that she pokes fun at the genre in general and specific genre tropes in this book, and some of the in-jokes are hilarious. (Especially after reading some of the online reviews of the book from readers who didn't get the jokes. 😀) Also, just in case you're not familiar with her work, the label "erotic romance" applies in full to what she writes. 2 Quote The Great Reading Thread of 2024 “I've always believed that failure is non-existent.

bigm141414 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Not bad. 21 out of the 36 I had planned to read. Finished all of the current volumes of The Immortal Hulk comic book and I was not disappointed one bit in the story telling and art. It's a great read and I highly recommend it if you like dark Lovecraftian style superhero stories. I've started on my second quarter non-fiction: Ron Chernow's Hamilton. Hoping to finish it before Hamilton the Movie is released on July 3rd. 1 1 Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment

I would call it consumption of creative media. I dunno if it's 'reading' as such, but if it makes you happy it's worth counting! How is everyone doing with their goals/reading habits? Mine has been sorely lacking lately, in favour of re-reading 'old familiar' options rather than stretching my brain into something new. 1 Quote ...but I'm adorable! Ask anyone who doesn't know me...

Though to be fair, I did have about three and a half months off of work and seven weeks of that where I wasn't allowed going outside more than once a day! ...though I've decided I now want to aim for 100 by the end of the year. 2 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
