February Wrap up

I have mixed feelings about this month.
I should have read more.

 Let's take a look:

 The progress in my goal I'm 22% through.
Two more were started but were not finished so we'll carry them on to finish them in March.

 For the stats about this month's reading. 




So, in this case, I had an all over the place based on enjoyment as well.

GoodReads Choice Awards 2019 pt 1

Image
So one of the challenges I made for myself was to read the selections for the Good Reads Choice Awards 2019. I divided them into 4 categories and made a goal to read each category was set up to read in 3 months. Link of the announcement:  https://magisreading.blogspot.com/2019/11/good-reads-choice-awards-2019-part-1.html So here are the books I planned to read: Fiction: The winner was: The Testaments, Margaret Atwood . I liked this story I gave this 4.0 stars. I enjoyed it better than the first installment of the series, which I did not expect. I enjoy the struggle of the forced servitude women are forced to have and yet you get to see everything happening on the background of the society where not everyone really feels and believes what they hold as the pillar of the society.  This is amazing and I feel that it complements the handmaid's tale so we, that you just need to read them together to feel the full potential be reached.  I was surprised by how much ...

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...
