Check-in: Pick a book, any book!

Check in post! Tell us in the comments how you went. Did you finish the book? Did you make progress? Did you procrastinate and read something else instead? Did life or something else get in your way?

And! Because this was so successful for me, I'm going to run this at least two more weeks, with the goal of picking one book each week, and getting to feel smug if I achieve it. So! The other thing you can do in the comments is tell us about a book you want to make progress on this week. I'll aim to put up a check in post at about the same time next week ('tis Sunday morning where I am, but I'm aware it is still Saturday evening for a large number of people)

I finished (just this minute) A Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers! It’s been in the ‘started not finished’ pile since spring 2020, so while it was an enjoyable read in its own right I’m almost more excited to have it out of the pile and to be able to file it on my shelves!

this week I hope to finish another book from that pile, His Bloody Project by Graham MacRae Burnet.

Yaaaay, a finished book! I am so pleased for you! That is amazing to finish this book after all this time. Very good that it was overall an enjoyable read rather than just a slog to finish. Also, I am pleased that I am apparently not the only one who likes to run to this comm immediately after finishing a book. :D

Also, I am impressed that after all this time, you are still persisting with the spring 2020 pile. Started truly in another era. Here's to His Bloody Project! *\o/*
