2021 Reading Statistics

Image
  Let's take a look into 2021 in lovely statistics. It might be a boring subject. This in no way is meant to make others feel pressured or compare themselves. Numbers are not the most important thing. Reading happens to be my escape from the real world and due to the current times and my lack of options for the first half of the year that I was not leaving my house at all, well that provided a lot of time I was able to spend reading.  This year was filled with changes and scary situations that had me up and down emotionally. But we can look back in my reading journey and count it as a success.  From these numbers, this represents my goal to have been accomplished in 156%.  From them, 7% were rereads- 23 books. That is a bit below, my goal was 10% but I was very close. My next year's goal is set up differently I will use a number as the goal instead of a percent, I see it more achievable.  The formats are a bit more even, not bad really. I did want to take advant...

2022 Reading Goals

Image
  This year held a lot of changes and that was reflected in my online presence. I simply poofed out of existence without a single warning or explanation. I am not going to dive into the past for now. Let's focus on the oncoming year.  Sidenote: This last few months my work has been trying to get us to move forward in those self-help books. One thing that was driven until it landed was the SMART method of setting goals.  So I am going to use that logic while setting up my reading goals for this year. Let's break them down. I mean most are very straightforward. Overall my goal is to read 300 books. From those, the minimum is 250 new reads. The other subcategory includes a few rereads, my ideal plan is to have 1 or 2 per month. In other words, something like 12 (minimum) to 24 (ideal). I have several personal challenges. Finish 12 series. I have the bad habit of starting many series. I lost count of how many I am in the middle of and still plan to continue. So the plan is t...

Walking dead update #4

Image
  Author: Robert Kirkman  Genre: Sci-Fi, Horror Original publication date: 2016 Book description:  A group of survivors after a zombie epidemic. They have been living in a world where the dead have risen. The walking dead though is not the main threat, the other humans soon proved to be a far greater enemy. Thoughts: I am getting very close to the ending now. With these two I finally start the fourth compendium. This is finally the time when I finish the series. Maybe after I get to the ending I'll manage to convince myself to get back and start the tv series once more and consume the story that way as well. I am not sure how many seasons there are. I am going to go through the volumes and mention small bits of what is going on, it is a reminder if you have read them a while back or mild spoilers if you have not reached these specific volumes. Let's get to it. Volume 25 No turning back  The end of the previous volume left us hanging in a very dramatic way. The whisp...

Champion

Title: Champion Author: Marie Lu Date Published: September 2014 So this is the last book of the Legend Trilogy. The ending to an excelent story. I'm not going to go too much into it exactly because I don't want to spoil anything. This ending had me on edge almost throughout the whole thing, I just went on a tornado of emotions while reading. I was kind of devasted by the almost ending, when things look bleak but then a last turn of events that leave a hopeful happy ending. I just love when stories have a nice ending. I mean almost everything was fixed and they lived happily ever after, mostly. XD I really enjoyed this book. I will try to re read it next year maybe and maybe enjoy it a bit more. I love the way things turned out. I gave it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Call Down the Hawk

Image
Author: Maggie Stiefvater Series: Dreamer #1 Genre: Magical Realism Original publication date: November 2019 Book description:  The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives – they will sleep forever if their dreamers die. And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all. Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality. Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it. Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer . . . and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleash...
