    RC2015 – Halfway Through October

    October 14, 2015 /

    Hello readers and welcome to my halfway point update for the first month of my 2015 Reading Challenge. That sounds much more formal than it actually is, since I’m just going to tell you I have made it through about 1/3 of Yes Please, and other than the fact that I’m enjoying it, there’s not much more to report. Are you reading along with me? Are you reading something else? Leave an update on me, and like I have mentioned before, follow me on Goodreads to see what I’ve shelved, what else is on my currently-reading list, and books I’ve reviewed. And stop by in a couple of weeks as…

    UPDATE #7 (and final): Summer Reading Challenge

    September 24, 2015 /

    Happy fall, followers and readers! My Summer Reading Challenge timeline has met its end, much more quickly than I expected and hoped. Here is a summary of my progress with the Penguin 80 and Challenge Your Shelf book lists: Total Number of Titles: 110 Number of Days: 89 (oh God why didn’t I make this 90?! Cue OCD freakout) Titles Read Before Challenge: 9 Titles Read During Challenge: 3 Titles in Limbo: 1 (I haven’t forgotten about you, Anna Karenina) Even I understand the math between the total number of titles and the number of days; I knew this from the beginning. Did I purposely set myself up for failure, you ask?…

    UPDATE #4: Summer Reading Challenge

    August 18, 2015 /

    Just a little over 200 pages stands between me and the next book on my list. 200 pages of eloquent, intriguing words from John Steinbeck stands between me and. . . finishing Anna Karenina and Early Warning, a novel by Jane Smiley. If you remember, I have been battling through Tolstoy’s novel since [what seems like] the beginning of time. Jane Smiley’s new novel is off of the Book Club Summer Reading Challenge list (#challengeyourshelf), which you can find here. I’m finding August is drawing to a close way too quickly, which has actually motivated me to crack down on myself and become more organized and deliberate with these challenges and goals I have…

    UPDATE #2: Summer Reading “Challenge”

    July 19, 2015 /

    This is going to be barely an update – more of a declaration of my excitement for the books I just purchased. I am still plugging away at Anna Karenina, but I’ve decided to take on the challenge of reading more than one book at once, especially since I’m moving at a snail’s pace towards my reading goal(s). Here’s an image of the books I have recently (today) added to my library: Besides the obvious reason – because I need/want to read them – here is why I chose these specific titles: On My Reading Challenge List(s) East of Eden – John Steinbeck [Penguin 80] Candide – Francois Voltaire [Penguin 80]…

    Summer Reading “Challenge”

    June 27, 2015 /

    I was hit yesterday by these facts: my cable bill was due, I have to hope my car payment will get mailed on time for the beginning of next week, and rent is due in four short days. Oh, and in a couple of weeks I’ll have to start regularly paying back my student loans, rather than just paying a little here and there. To make an already long story short, it hit me that June is coming to an end and July is just around the corner. Please pass by slower, July. Anyway, I’ve been plugging along with my ever lengthening reading wish list, and while I’m enjoying what…
