I know, I'm a few days behind. I didn't forget, I just got busy because it's that time of year at work. Everything's a toss up because flu and cold season. Hopefully I can keep up better in the following week. (Not likely with the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday).
So! This week I read two? Three? books? I don't remember exactly. I went from 6 on my Currently Reading on my shelf on Goodreads to 3, back up to 7. So I don't know off hand. There were many. I may have also just ditched a few. I'm so excited though that I am within 10 books of finishing my goal of reading 100 books despite it being NaNoWriMo season. I may even get within 5 books of the end?! Who knows.
I am thinking more about next year's reading goals. This is the list I have presently come up with:
(1) Stick to my monthly TBR.
(2) Book Buying Restriction (1:3, I mean it this time!).
(3) Use my Kindle more.
(4) Put away $5 for every book finished.
(5) Do not force reviews, write them only if I have something to say
(6) Start reading blog anew (check?)
(7) Try to keep a good ratio of ebooks, physical books, and audiobooks.
(8) Finish Les Miserables by Victor Hugo in 2021.
So there we go. Naturally, this is not remotely set in stone. It can change at any moment. I think this is good though. I'm debating actually taking the money for the reading out of my account for each month. Not that I really want to be withdrawing money....perhaps I won't. Either way money will be attained!
I'm still struggling with the fact that I am almost through my goal. I know, we're circling back around again but seriously. I've never read this many books in a single year before. The most before this was like 84-86. I am amazed by how many there are!
I am thinking more about how I want to structure next year's TBRs. Do I want to set a specific number only and just hit that number? Do I want to actually chose titles? I don't know what it is I want to do with myself. If I keep the general idea from what I decided before, my reading goal will be anywhere from 72 to 108 books. I think I will set 2021's goal to 108?
Came home from work on the 24th to a package on my kitchen table from HMH and was fairly confused as to how HMH got my address. Then I remembered. If you preordered The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige, they would send you an enamel pin. I'm not as dumb as I thought. I'm reading it now and it's pretty good so far. I can definitely see why people like it.
Came home on the 27th to another package on my table. This was one was from Little Brown....another publisher. In it I found some custom tarot cards, a signed book plate, and a neat pin for Kerri Maniscalco's Kingdom of the Wicked. I had entirely forgotten that I had messaged Ms. Maniscalco and signed up to the pre-order thing. I need to start actually writing down things like that that would be important, so I'm not confused when publishers send me book merch...
I supposed that will be all fo this week. :) (Look at me go remembering to actually post on Saturday). See you all next week my ducks~
