November Group Read: Check-in The First

[glinda]

It's the end of the first full week of the challenge!

How're we all doing? Anything to report? Are we racing ahead, falling behind or getting tangled up in our Nano committments? Or are we even reading everything but the books we initially suggested?

I've finished (amazingly) three out of the 4 audio books I specified - turned out one in particular was only three hours, so by listening to it while I did ironing and other household chores it was finished in a day. I've started listening to The Luminaries (the final one) today but envisage this taken a bit more time (it's over 29 hours of listening).

With regard to the actual books, I've finished The Power of Three and am three chapters in The Chase (not really loving it so far) and about 1/4 of the way through Arrival. With luck I'm hoping to make progress on one or both of those this weekend.

I'm also thinking that I might add in to my list to read two graphic novel/comic collections - 1 will be a re-read from several years ago while the other is its sequel which is newly acquired. Also if I finish The Luminaries before the end of the month, then I shall listen to The Farseekers, the sequel to Obernewtyn (again getting me closer to tackling the unread one that has been sat on my shelf for four years while I waited for the rest of the series to be published).

Wow! That's pretty impressive going!
