November Group Read: Check-in The Second

[glinda]

We're (almost) half way through the month now and how are we getting on? Procrastinating wildly? Reading everything except what we intended to? Forging ahead and putting everyone else to shame?!

*waves pompoms enthusiastically*

Check in below with your triumphs and tribulations. Celebrate the achievements big and small, whether you got through a whole book or merely made a start on a book that's been taunting you for ages.

Oh, yay, the pompoms! :D

I have good news to report on both fronts: I started and then finished that new book I had taken on for coursework and even typed up some notes and sent them to my partner, notes which I myself also can use later now, phew.

Then I overcame my procrastinatory nature a bit and read some more on that book I have been putting off for months, "Big Brother". I read about an hour and about 80 pages and am now in the second part of the book. I also was too curious and glimpsed at the ending and now I have to read the rest because what I saw intrigued me, hehe. I am on page 200 of 373. My goal is now to finish it this month. We shall see.

Fabulous progress! Good job on keeping focus on the coursework book, and having time to do some discretionary reading as well.

Yeah, it was a great week for reading. I may have some exciting news this week, too, if I keep the current reading pace ;-)

Hope your reading this week meets your goals and is fun to do! :-)

It did! Here is the comment on the new community post. Spoiler: I finished that novel!
