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? Made absolutely excellent progress due to stress/comfort reading in the face of current events? Launch something across the room it's so very much not your thing? Get completely distracted by another challenge or project and forgot you were meant to be doing this until you saw this post? (Or is that just me?!)

Successes and failures in the comments below!

I apparently forgot to actually write my goal on the last post, so I've gone and made a note of what the actual goal was -- to finish 8 books. Given I finished two, I'm counting myself as on track.

Finished:

• All Out: The No-Longer-Secret Stories of Queer Teens Throughout the Ages - ed. Saundra Mitchell. Anthology of mostly historical, all queer, mostly romance short stories.
• The Dead In Their Vaulted Arches - Alan Bradley

Progressed

• The Atlas Six - Olivie Blake
• My Brilliant Friend - Elena Ferrante

Added to the list:

• The Between - Tananarive Due (started this week)
• The Souls of Black Folk - WEB Du Bois (started about a year ago; I found the reading notes - about 8% done)

Abandoned:

• The House on Nantucket - Jessie Newton

Excellent progress on a variety of different fronts there!
