I know! I'm absolutely horrible at remembering to keep up with this blog. Not even that I don't want to blog...I just...forget? Troubles of the undiagnosed ADHD I suppose. It also doesn't help that I had the alarm set to remind me on Saturday instead of the Sunday, which is when I actually want to post the blog.
Anyway! I finished a few books since I last spoke to you all. I went from what, 46 to 50. Not bad, I think. Officially at one book ahead of schedule since I've changed my goal.
We finally got the prompts for the 2024 Autumn Equinox Semester and I've set my TBR. I have nine books to read. I think I can manage that. It's a little above my normal reading speed for the month. I've picked out a few that are <150 pages (one is only 52) that I can just easily get through. Another is a Seven Seas novel that I know I fly through. Read a 500+ page behemoth from them in like two days and the one on my list is only 350 pages. Biggest book on my TBR is 403 pages.
Of course now all I can think about is the Orilium Readathon and it's just like "I want to start now. Not later, now." I've picked out a few things from the new Guild Emporium that will be useful to my character. Things that as someone who does more than just his own calling, he would definitely be able to use. A quill that takes dictation. A grimoire that never runs out of space...useful! I have found so many things that I can purchase to actually use, too. A handful of scrolls that will let me start early, read whatever I want to and count it....genius!
Dropped my reading goal from 100 to 75. Next year I'll put it at 72. 6 books per month for the year. Since I'll either be working from 6:30am - 3:00pm or 6:00am - 2:30pm Monday through Friday, and I will be jelly brained the rest of the day. I will at least have a fighting chance of hitting the goal....
Learned my new "local" (2.5 miles away) Dollar General sells the Pilot Frixion erasable highlighters that I absolutley love. So guess who bought one in every available color? Me! Now I can highlight with ease and just erase it when I'm done. I love these. They are excellent for people who want to highlight but are nervous. You can just get rid of it!
