July didn’t go so well. I have higher hopes for August since I won’t be spreading myself so thin. I’m focusing on reading, and blogging. I’m waiting to hear back on the next course enrollment for work, but I will have 6 months to complete it, so I can go slow with it in August…
July was a bit busy; busier than a usual month for me with some of the stuff going on at work, and the challenges I attempted. Spoiler alert, I think I failed at each of them. Let’s run through and see if I managed to succeed at anything this month or if I took too…
6 months down, and 6 more to go. I’m not really pushing towards a goal of total books I’d like to read by the end of the year. At the same time though, I’d like to read at least 52 books by the end of the year. This would equate to an average of one…
June was somewhat busy, as I was also preparing for a co-workers retirement party at work. I managed to complete 4 books towards the readathon, and I had pledged 4. So I at least completed my goal. However, I could have read more, but picked up a gook I ended up DNFing, and two others…
I’m going to try something a bit different in July. I love Fantasy books, but I seem to be striking out there lately. I read a book and yet don’t really want to read it. I used to read more variety of Fantasy and Mystery, but then somewhere focused wholly in on Fantasy. For July,…

In no particular order, these are a few series I would still love to get to this year. Founders Trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett I’ve heard many book lovers talk about this series, and it sounds like it’s something I would enjoy. Plus, Brandon Sanderson has blurbed it stating: “The exciting beginning of a promising…

Readathons Whateverathon, or Whatever-You-Want-athon, is taking place the entire month of June. This readathon is hosted by Maddie from Book Browsing Blog on YouTube. This is the second year of the readathon. I had a lot of fun with it last year, and hope to have fun with it again this year. The teams and…
May has been a bit stressful from work stuff. In fact I was working some “overtime” the last week or two of May, even though I seem to be in a lull of stuff to do for the projects I’m responsible for. I put “overtime” in quotes because I’m salaried, so I don’t really get…
