Something new challenge check-in

[fred_mouse]

I was going to do this weekly, but I have no idea what happened to last weekend, so I'm now aiming to do a check at roughly 10 day intervals.

With that, what new reading have you done? Progress? Planning to read? Sitting down and reading with barely a break until you are done?

I have at least looked at my pile. I rediscovered that I had bought a set of 12 novellas, and I'm halfway through the first one.

I have finished one book, a sort of memoir of a German comedian, "Ich bin dann mal weg" (title of English version: "I'm Off Then: Losing and Finding Myself on the Camino de Santiago"). It was a surprisingly interesting read.

However, I "accidentally" bought a total of 8 new books. So my TBR pile is still two actual piles sitting next to my bed, one of them as high as the bed itself. Ooops. I have managed to establish a habit of reading on my train commute but I also need to a) establish of habit of reading at home more rather than spending 90% of my leisure time watching Youtube and b) stop buying so many new books while waiting for my train at the train station. Hehe.

I also need to list previously read books which I don't plan to re-read for sale online. So I can have fewer boxes of books sitting around near my couch and have more money to buy new books. >.>

P.S.: I really enjoyed this check-in. Reminds to me check and read DW and comment on here more often.

Good going on finishing the book!

And I hear you on 'accidental' book acquisition. I had to go online to buy one book (book 2 of the series I bought one of the Offspring for a birthday, where only books 1 and 3 were in stock anywhere), and then several things on my wishlist were either in stock or on special, and now I have several more books to read!

As for TBR piles, I, ah, don't care to guess how many books are on one of those.
