The Daily Grind
~ I finished another book, hurray! This brings me up to a total of 79 books read since the beginning of the year. I'm aiming for 100, and I'm still pretty confident that I should be able to make that goal.
~ Speaking of books, I had a wonderful fangasm the other day when I found the e-book copy of Courtney Schafer's The Labyrinth of Flame in my email! I adore this series, and I've been so excited about the release of the final book in the trilogy, so now that I have it, I'm practically dancing!
I'm not going to read it right away, though. I have to get through the remaining 5 books I have to read by the end of this month, then I want to reread the previous 2 books in the series, The Whitefire Crossing and The Tainted City.
~ I caught Dusknoir in Pokemon Shuffle! I'm always happy when I manage to catch the event Pokemon, even though I know that there'll probably be another identical event in the future. I could it as an accomplishment, anyway.
~ Now's the time of year where I want to do all the cooking! Chilly weather makes me want to be in the kitchen where the oven will keep me warm, and then the tasty things I make will be even more enjoyable to eat. I'm glad that even though I was discouraged from cooking as a child, I learned how to as an adult. I can't imagine subsisting off pre-packaged stuff all the time now. I enjoy things like that every once in a while, but it doesn't take long for me to want to get some meat and fresh vegetables and make myself something good and homemade!
Guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

Myself, I had to stop counting - it was spoiling the fun of reading. I found myself bypassing the longer books I might have reslly enjoyed and also slogging thro' books I wasn't enjoying because I couldn't list them unless I finished.
(Note: me, my experience - not what anyone else should or shouldn't do.)

Yeah, keeping track does create that mentality sometimes, for sure. And because I've spent so long reviewing books, sometimes I feel like I have to abandon longer books in favour of shorter ones, just so I can have more regular reviews coming out.
This is what holding oneself accountable does. Nothing but bitterness!
