So... I didn't make it to 12 books.
I'm not quite sure what went wrong. I started these 12 weeks off strong, but somewhere along the way... I started feeling burned out... then I stopped reading... and things kind of fell apart... As a matter of fact, we didn't even crack open the new Wheel of Time. I guess I really just needed a break.
Plus I played both castles in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That might have had something to do with it.
But, I did read 10 books! They are:
- Warriors: Crowfeather's Trail
- warriors: The Ultimate Guide
- Practical Prosperity Magick
- Little Guide to Protection Magic
- Warriors: Firestar's Quest
- Mrs. B's Guide to Household Witchery
- Norse Magic
- Warriors: Skyclan's Destiny
- FF Dot: The Pixel Art of Final Fantasy
- The Natural Psychic
So, I am bummed that I only read 10 books, but truth to tell... I am going to be returning to work soon. It is definitely happening. As of August, I will be reporting. No one knows how much - full time or part time - just that it is happening.
I have a lot to do. I have to get back in the groove of actually reporting to work. My kids will (hopefully) be returning to school full time in the fall. Fingers crossed, no more hybrid schedule. I may or may not have a hybrid schedule when I return to work - but I will definitely be at work. All the sudden our life is changing drastically (back to what it used to be). Meal prep, meal plans, packing lunches, all major chores on the weekend - all of these things will go back to being our norm after not having to do them for over a year and a half. Family time will really just be on the weekend once again, thanks to everyone's busy schedule. Our life is suddenly shifting in a major way after a year and a half of having the freedom to sleep in and worry about things later. Plus, I've been a bit heavy into video games. After Castlevania the Final Fantasy book inspired me to play Final Fantasy 1 again. I haven't played this game since (I think) middle school! And I'm remembering that I love it!!! I'm actually thinking about making a series of posts about a walkthrough... something I have been considering for the video game The Legend of Dragoon, one of my all time favorite games. So my blog might be branching out even more in the future!
But, my reading should increase. I mean, my bus ride is 30-60 minutes to and from work each day. That is a LOT of reading time! You have seen my old lists - 20 books a month is nothing!
But for right now, as we spend the next month or two adapting, I foresee almost no reading. We shall have to see. For the moment I will aim for 12 books for my next goal. After all, I just bought the 12 Sailor Moon mangas to read and they are very easy! I am so excited!!! I've always wanted to read the entire series! I know Sailor Moon is kinda cheesy but I've always really enjoyed it. I'm hoping Sailor Moon Crystal will do the fifth arc since that was never officially released in the US.
