Just looked back at the last check in to see where I was at, and lo! but apparently I forgot. Which means I get to report on two weeks worth of achievements!
I've finished four books this month, two of which had been on the 'currently reading' list for some time. My currently reading is now at 29, so I've achieved the minimal goal of 'less than 30'. Of these, I'm most pleased with having got the non-fiction book about Australian history and present bushfires back out of the library, and actually read the whole thing this time. I still think that it needed a good edit for readability, but the information is important.
In terms of the other goal, which is to have read at least one book from each of three lists, I'm where I started, having finished one from one list. However! I finished up work on Thursday, and getting everything handed over was taking significant time and energy (I worked multiple evenings attempting to tidy things up), so I hope I have more energy for reading for the next two weeks. I have an interstate trip to complicate matters, because I don't particularly want to be carrying multiple physical books with me.
I guess that means I should focus on the physical books now. Picking the three that have been on the currently reading list for the longest, this week I want to finish one of A Diasporic Mythography: Myth, Legend and Memory in the Literature of the Indian Diaspora, The Flaw of Averages: Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty, or This All Come Back Now
