Well, as mentioned in this week’s Sunday Post, I haven’t finished a single book in November. I did listen to a few audiobooks, but they were books I’ve listened to at least a dozen times before and didn’t really pay attention to. I mostly used them for noise. For some reason, nothing really is calling…
October was not a great month for me. I didn’t finish any of the books I was planning to read. Let’s hope November will be a bit better since I’m keeping the TBR a bit smaller due to NaNoWriMo.
I was going to kick TBRs to the curb because I can’t seem to stick to them lately. There are however, a few books I want to get in before November, when I am going to be absolutely crazy, (or maybe I am already) and have intentions of again attempting NaNoWriMo.
This will be my first time participating in the O.W.Ls in April, part of the Magical Readathon created by G from the YouTube channel Book Roast. You can see her announcement video which also contains all the links needed to participate in this month long readathon.
Well, I got a few books for Christmas, and have several more veteran books on my shelf waiting for their chance to be read. Let’s see what I can get to in January. I’m still going to pick only 6 books, I figure this will leave room for a mood read or 2. I’m also going to not roll over my TBR into the next month. I mean I’m not leaving any books unstarted, on my TBR for the next. I usually don’t get a chance to go back, so if I am able, I can just pick one of the books up as a mood read.
I’m going to start this post off with the Bookie Trials TBR. Also, I wanted to take a moment to ask, what crazy idea is it to have a readathon, but the goal is to read the fewest number of books? The Winter Bookie Trials runs from midnight December 2 – 11:59 pm December 8 (your local timezone). There are 11 challenges, and the story behind this quest is we are trying to save our Daemons from the Evil Enchanter. To save our Daemons, we must read as few books as possible. I have managed to find 2 books to complete all 11 quests.
The Tome Topple is coming! There are 5 challenges, and I don’t believe I will complete them all; in fact I’m not sure I’ll complete any of them since I’m also focusing on writing 50,000 words this month. When I did my November TBR I left 2 spots for books for this readathon.
Here we are again. I got carried away with the Rhiriya Chronicles and Revelations books. I’ve read 3, leaving only 2 left in the series, even though only one was on my TBR. There are several books I still haven’t picked up, and now we are getting into NaNoWriMo. There is also a TomeTopple readathon this month, so I’m only picking 4 books leaving room for some tomes later.
Well, September is done, and I completed…one book from my TBR, and currently reading 2. So 5 books are on my TBR for October already, and I’m picking 6 more…what have I done?
Thanks to the Book Junkie Trials, now known as the Bookie Trials, from this past July and Codie’s Book Corner for inspiring my TBR game.
