Challenges:
- Take Control of Your TBR Pile Progress: I’ve met my goal!
- Once Upon a Time IX Progress: Prince of Hazel and Oak is the only book I’m currently reading that counts for this challenge. I’m expecting to have it finished before the end of the week.

- Outdo Yourself Progress: 15 out of 66.
- Netgalley/Edelweiss Progress: 7 out of 50.
- SF/F Bingo: I’m working on filling in the whole card, and it’s getting a bit more difficult.
Total pages read for the week: 489
Total number of books for the year: 16. I’m back into the swing of going to classes and working on my research papers, but I’ve added looking for a part-time job into my already busy schedule, so I haven’t had much time to read. Also, it was the Boyfriend’s Birthday this weekend. Besides the holidays, it’s the only day of the year that I don’t mind not getting at least a little time to read. When I did get time (other than during my commute), I concentrated on The Essential Feminist Reader, since it’s due back at the library soon, and I really want to at least get to the ’90s, when I was first introduced to Feminism by way of the Riot Grrrl bands.
Top Commenters: This week, my Top Commenter was Berls over at Fantasy is More Fun.
What are you reading this week?
If you read A Wizard of Earthsea, that would count for POC main character! 🙂
I’m glad you still manage to squeeze reading into what sounds like an increasingly hectic life. It must be a challenge sometimes.
ooh, thanks! I got Wizard of Earthsea a couple weeks ago as my book of the week from the Boyfriend.
Awesome! I love hearing I’m a top commenter, makes me feel mildly successful at getting around to everyone’s blog 🙂 Happy birthday to your BF again. And good luck looking for a job! Sounds like you have your hands full!
