Wednesday

Today’s goals:

• Read 100 pages of Gameboard of the Gods ✓

Currently reading: Gameboard of the Gods

Pages read today: 106
Time spent reading today: 1 hour
Books completed today: n/a

Today’s notes: I ended up getting a migraine so I didn’t get as much reading in as I wanted. I also am not enjoying Gameboard very much, so the 100 pages I did read were a major struggle. I think I may have to DNF :(

Thursday

Today’s goals:

• Read for at least an hour ✓

Currently reading: Gameboard of the Gods, Saga vol. 8, This Splintered Silence
Currently listening to: Children of Blood and Bone

Pages read today: 351
Time spent reading today: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Time spent listening today: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Books completed today: Gameboard of the Gods (DNF), Saga vol. 8

Today’s notes: I couldn’t bring myself to pick Gameboard back up, so I decided to DNF :(

Friday

Today’s goals:

• Make it to 75% of This Splintered Silence (currently at 43%) ✓

Currently reading: This Splintered Silence, Last Star Burning

Pages read today: 209
Time spent reading today: 2 hours

Saturday

Today’s goals:

• Read at least 100 pages ✓

Currently reading: Last Star Burning (lost interest/wasn’t in the mood), The Rule of One (wasn’t in the mood), One Past Midnight

Pages read today: 379
Time spent reading today: 4 hours
Books completed today: One Past Midnight

Today’s notes: I’m feeling rather slumpy today. I picked up both The Last Star Burning and Rule of One and couldn’t get into either of them. I think it’s just a mood thing right now, though…

Sunday

Today’s goals:

• Finish one more book ✓

Currently reading: Rule by Ellen Goodlett, Empress of All Seasons

Pages read today: 451
Time spent reading today: 4 hours, 45 minutes
Books completed today: Rule

Today’s notes: I had wanted to DNF or finish Empress, but I’m still stuck somewhere in between. It’s finally picking up at past 40%, but I’m not in the mood to read it. I think I do want to try again, just not right now!
