November Group Read: Check in the First

[glinda]

The first week of the challenge has reached an end. Time to share with the class your triumphs and tribulations. Finish a book? Make a start on something that you've been meaning to get round to for ages? Or finally accept that that one book everyone recommended you is just not your thing and you're never going to get past the second chapter?

New participants, what obstacles have you faced? (Other than the umm...elephant in the room that is current affairs...) Regular participants, what tips and tricks do you have to offer? Are you a break yourself in easy with a short book person? *raises hand* Or perhaps you prefer to start with something chunky while you're full of enthusiasm?

Successes and failures below the line please!

I did not manage to make any progress on the two books I'm hoping to finish.

I did, however, a couple nights late at night while I probably should have been in bed, read the introduction and the first couple chapters of the historical brewing/farmhouse ale book my colleague lent me. Not a lot of surprises yet, given that I've read the author's blog thoroughly so already have some background on the topic, but it's still interesting.

I also read a webcomic that I hadn't planned to read, O Human Star. I had read most of it a while ago, but it wasn't yet finished being written, and when I came back to it this week, it was done and I could read the whole thing.

Oops, distraction ahoy! But that’s still progress just in a different direction than expected!
