How did it go?

Did you finish something from days gone by?

Or did you get distracted by a new shiny?

Either way, I hope you're having a lovely new year!

(and if you're still reading, keep reading!)

Well, this is far later than intended because someone unfortunately gifted me with a miserable headcold for Christmas and I've mostly been laying around watching youtube...

But all is not lost - it is only Monday and we are still firmly in the weird week of the year.

What's lingering?

We all have that book. The one we'll get to later. The one that doesn't get chosen. The one that's well-intentioned. (It's been sitting there for a long time.)

While it doesn't have to be the absolute oldest thing on your TBR shelf, if you even know what is, this is the week to read* something that's been waiting for awhile.

I'll try for a follow-up around the 5th. Nudge me if I've been buried under bookpiles.


*read/listen/watch/play. Whatever media you choose is fine.

And we're to the end of November! How did your month go?


(and a reminder that [community profile] readingtogether is open to all sorts of read-alongs hosted by anyone. I'll probably be doing my sometimes-annual Lingering challenge between Xmas and New Year's.)

We're squarely into late November now. What have you been reading?

I'm just going to wander in a bit late and without pizza. Sorry about that! How goes the reading?

Hi, [community profile] readingtogether! Guess what time it is! It's time for the November Group Read!

All you need to do is... read! If you want to share what you're reading, that's fine, and if you just want to say that you're doing it (or not), also fine.

As always, what counts as 'reading' is up to you. Fiction, non-fiction, audiobooks, comics, visual novels, work reports, etc. all count.

Feel free to share in the comments what you'll be reading.

(And sorry for the late start. This actually isn't an organized event, but it is one of my favorites so here I am.)

(stealin' this from last year!)

Since it's time for [community profile] 3weeks4dreamwidth, let's have a little reading* minithon until the 15th of May. Pick a book*, any book, and read! (You can even pick more than one, that's fine!)

If you'd like, share your plans in the comments!


*as usual - 'read' and 'book' are wide open and audiobooks, visual novels, etc. are welcome.

How did you go with reading your borrowed books? Did you make startling amounts of progress? Respectable amounts? Less than optimal amounts (yeah, I hear you, I resemble that remark).

And! Because I love these challenges, suggestions on what I might put up for a challenge in the near future? Time to be determined, depending on spoons, weather, and a stack of unpredictable events in the near future.

(Posting early because I'm going to be out this evening)

Have you made progress on your borrowed books during the week? Do you have grand reading plans for the weekend? Do you need a little motivation to get reading so that you have something to report in?

Tell us where you are at or where you are hoping to be!

Anyone can join the challenge at this point, drivebys and lurkers included.

There will be a last checkin on Wednesday, which will be the end of the week.

I'll aim to do a checkin on Sunday, so you get the weekend to make progress. And then a last checkin on Wednesday, which will be the end of the week.

I have two three library books that need reading, and no motivation to read them. Can I interest anyone else in a one week challenge to read and return borrowed books?

How have you been getting on?

I‘ve finally finished my audiobook of Joy at Work and have started a new children‘s book by Chris Riddell.

Apologies I meant to do this on the weekend. What are you planning to read? Have you read anything this last weekend?

Whew the first month of the year has passed the midway mark already! What have you been reading? Or what are you planning on reading this month? Is anyone interested in a February group read?

I finished two books I started last year: Jin Yong‘s Legend of the Condor Heroes and an audiobook of a German columnist. So all in all a pretty good start!

So it's the last day of November, time to review your joys and woes for this month! Did you get through everything you wanted this month? Or did you read something entirely different? Discover anything new or odd about your reading habits? Did you start strongly then crash and burn completely half-way through the month? (I think I read about four chapters this month...)

Did you saunter over your self-set target deadline or are you reading furiously right up to the final minute of the final day, hoping to finish one more book?

Ooops late post this week, I went back to work on Monday and promptly got eaten alive by work. Anyway, it's the end of week three of the challenge, how goes it for all of you? Hope you've all had a better reading week than I have… I don’t think I read a single page…

Are we starting to flag a bit as November grinds on or have we triumphs to share? Anyone defeat a book that's been taunting them for long and weary? Share your reading triumphs and disasters in the comments below.
