I've only read one more, despite what the subject line says. But I saw secretsolitaire's recent book post and realized that I literally do a little chair dance whenever I see that someone has posted more book lists. I read through her post and added 5 more of the books she's read to my Suggested Books list. That prompted me to look through my not-really-a-bullet-journal to count up how many books I actually am tracking in there.

It's a lot.

I have 39 books on my Suggested Books list, plus the 5 that I'll be adding today. Then I have another 4 on there that are sequels or the next books in the series to books I've already read, so I want to get those, of course. Then another 21 books that I discovered when I was looking up ideas for the Goodreads or Book Bingo prompts. Let's see, that's... 69 books. And it's only April.

I also have 4 more on hand that I have already bought or borrowed from the Little Free Library.

So, 73 books total. And I have 8 and a half more months in the year to keep adding to my list. Man oh man. Wouldn't it be nice to just read all the time??

Speaking of that, I belong to two book clubs on Goodreads. Around the World in 52 Days is where I get my prompts for the reading challenge. And Nothing But Reading Challenges is pretty self-explanatory, and tonight they are having a 24-hour readathon! It starts at 8pm my time, with several mini-goals set up. I picked two mini-goals: read for 3 consecutive hours (totally doable) and read 750 pages within the 24 hours (eep. Maybe not doable.) Anyway, I love readathons so I'm happy to give this one a go.

And I finished another book!

I was reading a thread on Twitter in which everyone was complaining that January took forever to get through. Personally, I think it flew by. And now it's February and a leap year, which means that traditionally a woman can ask a man to marry her. And if he refuses he's supposed to buy her a silk dress, I believe. I wonder if I could convince someone to shell out for the equivalent in Amazon gift cards?

Getting Structure in my days has been working. I've been getting up early, getting everything I need to get done accomplished early. Today I start writing again. Now I just need to continue this pattern.

And of course I got another book read. Yay me!

Speaking of reading: I put my reviews and such on Goodreads, and I belong to the Goodreads Reading Challenge group so I use the group map and post what I've done for each category, etc. Is anyone on my flist on Goodreads? I know some of you are for sure! Do you want to be friends over there? If so, let me know what your Goodreads name is. Mine is just Severina. This is my BookShelf page. Though I've been there a year I still don't know much about the site so I can't figure out how to get to or use a main page.

Anyway, here's the latest review.
