One month left to finish up some reading challenges and meet some reading goals and I can already tell that’s not going to happen. And, that’s ok. I didn’t do so well with all of my reading intentions for November like Nonfiction November, Margaret Atwood reading month or German literature month but I still enjoyed reading all the blog posts about and at least celebrating from the sidelines.
What’s my plan for December? Well hopefully getting back on track with my reading. This weekend I didn’t do a lot of book reading because I also have a huge stack of magazines that I’m trying to whittle down. Once I finish those I take to the library to put in the magazine exchange bin. I promise I’m not picking up anything new!
I’m probably going to make a trip to the library this week to pick up my mystery book group book but I’ll try to stay away from borrowing too many books. Especially since I just downloaded 20 (yes 20!) books from NetGalley. I don’t know what I was thinking but it’s just hard to resist those books.
So that’s about it around here. What about you, any big plans to finish off your reading year?
Oh magazines, I love to read them but they really can be a distraction from books. Such a challenge to find a balance.
20 books from Netgalley??!! That’s got to be some sort of record 😉
I always pick up way too many books when I’m at the library. I’ll pick up my holds, but then I’ll browse the new releases and usually end up grabbing something from there, too!
Stefanie – I know right? My stack seems to grow overnight. I don’t know how we ended up subscribing to so many but we are definitely whittling down those subscriptions next year!
Joann@Lakeside Musing – I went a bit overboard didn’t I?! 🙂 I need to do a post just on those to share what goodies I found.
Angela – Me too! Although given that I’ve been getting so many books from NetGalley and not to mention all of my stacks of unread books, I probably really need to limit myself!
Last year I decided to extend most of my reading projects to two-year projects instead of single-year projects, so now I am rushing to finish them so that stacks and loans will be tidy and ready for 2019. Heheh We can always fill reading time with more and more and still MORE books, can’t we?! 🙂
