I’ve been making good progress, even though I still have a huge backlog of books to read after the ShoGun slow-down.  I just can’t seem to get books read before they’re due back to the library.  But I won’t stop trying!

October tally:

• Adult books read: 5
• YA books read: 1
• Children’s books read: 6
• Graphic novels read: 0
• Audiobooks heard: 1

Left to go: 7 Adult, 11 YA, 7 Children’s

I have got to do a better job of posting!  I am still reading toward my goal.  I got slowed down just a bit in August and September by reading ShoGun (all 1100+ pages), but it was worth it.  Great book!  Anyway…  Here’s my latest tallies.

August tally:

• Adult books read: 1
• YA books read: 2
• Children’s books read: 0
• Graphic novels read: 1
• Audiobooks heard: 1

September tally:

• Adult books read: 1
• YA books read: 2
• Children’s books read: 2
• Graphic novels read: 2
• Audiobooks heard: 2

Which leaves me to read by the end of the year:

12 Adult, 12 YA, and 13 Children’s.  Here I go!

Better late than never!

July tally:

• Adult books read: 3
• YA books read: 1
• Children’s books read: 3
• Graphic novels read: 0
• Audiobooks heard: 2

Left to read for the year:

14 Adult, 16 YA, and 15 Children’s.  I can do it, I can do it!

I didn’t mean to post this so late, but anyway…  Yes!  I did reach my reading goal for the year, and within six months no less.  Now, I’m going to try to read just as many (or maybe more!) over the next six months.  This is really showing me that if I push myself a little (and turn off the TV every once in a while), I really can read more.

June tally:

• Adult books read: 6
• YA books read: 5
• Children’s books read: 0
• Graphic novels read: 0
• Audiobooks heard: 5

So, hurray for me!  I’ve read 55 books already this year.  Let’s hope I can keep up the good work.

In regards to the other resolution I made in January, I have been exercising more (part of the reason for the amount of audiobooks I’ve listened to), and have lost 10 pounds so far.

I did read in May.  I’ve just been slow getting my tally up here. 

May tally:

• Adult books read: 6
• YA books read: 1
• Children’s books read: 3
• Graphic novels read: 1
• Audiobooks heard: 2

So I now have 6 Adult and 5 YA books left to read.  I’ve actually gone past my Children’s goal by 3 books (I will still read more though!).  I’m working very hard to reach my goal by the end of June.  I just might make it, too.
