Trainreads Challenge: check in

[rmc28]

Hi all! sorry this is an hour or so late, but how did we get on with our goals this time?

I am smug because I met all my goals

• finished The Renegades of Pern (I wasn't that far from the end it turned out)
• not only started, but got sucked into and thoroughly enjoyed Second First Impressions and read it off the train too (win)
• started reading Indistractable which I bought on impulse in January, and didn't hate it but did need to set it down to think over the first part
• started on the next Pern book

I get so tempted to do a nostalgia reread of the Pern books...

[rmc28]

I don't love them as much as I did in my teens/early twenties, but I am quite enjoying them, and the current run is the ones I only read once or twice each, rather than (probably) tens of times like the original six.

Oh, well done! Go you on setting realistic goals *and* achieving them!

[shanaqui]

My goals were:

• Finish rereading Record of a Spaceborn Few
• Finish reading The Sea is Not Made Of Water
• Reread the second volume of Heartstopper
• Make a start on either Exhalation or Witchmark

Which I actually met with bells on -- I read the third volume of Heartstopper as well, and I'm about a third of the way through Exhalation. So, yay!

Woo! go you!

Well done! Setting realistic goals FTW!

My goal was to finish at least two of a list of books. I'm declaring 'yes' on the technicality that I DNFed one, and finished another. I also made progress on at least two of the remaining, so generally successful!

Ended up re/reading the two volumes of Emiya Family that I already had sitting by the bed, which is reading. (And also played a bit of a couple of games.)
