November Group Read: Check-in the First!

[glinda]

The first week of the challenge has reached it’s conclusion. 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? Dedicated way too much time to reading today just so you don’t have to admit you only read two chapters this week? (Or is that just me?!)

Successes and failures in the comments below!

That is excellent progress, and far better to figure out what your brain wants to read than to keep plowing away at something that really isn't working for you at the moment when you might enjoy it more at another time, just because you put it on your list at the start of the month!

I was trying to finish a non-fiction I was already half-way through to give myself an early success to motivate myself for the challenge. However, I've been writing lots and watched a lot of films so I read even less than expected. I managed three chapters in the end yesterday, taking me to five chapters for the week which isn't terrible!

Nice! I'm impressed that you more than double your weekly output in a day! :D

Also it's neat that you know exactly what took the place of the reading time, and that the activities of writing and watching films seem to have so much in common with reading in terms of world building, expanding horizons, seeing different perspectives, etc. Sounds like a win overall! ♥
