May TBR 31 books in 31 days challenge

Image
  This is a very interesting start. I am just returning again from a very long break I took the last few weeks (more like months at this point). I am debating if I should do a wrap-up for the last few months or just move on?  I have not updated anything since the second week of May. We will see. Also this coming month I have very ambitious plans. Let me try to lay an overview of the big plans.  Challenge 31 books in 31 days. *36 books in this list but by now I am not sure how to count them or not. I have several volumes in the same series. Week 1 • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 5 Hiromu Arakawa   • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 6 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  7 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  8 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  9 Hiromu Arakawa This is another of the manga series I am trying to get through.  Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime! In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm a...

July TBR

Image
The year is moving very fast now. It's interesting a few weeks felt interminable and then suddenly now it's already July, already halfway through 2020 has come and gone! Last month was not great but I had already set up the To Be Read pile for July and here it is: For the Literally Dead Book Club *Zone One by Colson Whitehead   A pandemic has devastated the planet. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuild­ing civilization under orders from the provisional govern­ment based in Buffalo. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street—aka Zone One—but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety—the “malfunctioning” stragglers, who ex...

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...

Misery

Image
Author: Stephen King  Genre: Horror, Thriller Original publication date: May 1987 Book Description (from Good Reads): Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes and she is more than a rabid reader - she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Thoughts: The book was picked and it was supposed to be horror but then I was unsure if it was really going to be. IT was. The story starts off with Paul waking up after an accident, his memory is foggy and does not really know what happened. He is not in a hospital, there is a woman taking care of him. Soon he realizes that she is not exactly sane and her crazy is dangerous for him.  It is a very enchanting story.  Annie is a very perturbed person. She has anger issues, she is obsessed with the story Paul wrote and which he ended up hating. They start off...
