#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle1 Comment
  • This check-in is for December 24th – 30th.
  • Since this is my last Fit Readers Check-In for the year, Happy New Year!
  • I signed up for the 1000 Mile Charity Challenge again, and this time I have a plan and a couple of smaller goals to help me get those miles.  I’ll be walking at least 2.75 miles every day, which is fairly easy for me to do during the week.  Since I struggle to get that kind of mileage on the weekends, I’ll be doing some kind of walking workout either outdoors or inside (depending on the weather) on Saturday and Sunday.  Every month that I get at least 83.5 miles completed, I get to reward myself with an audiobook.  To celebrate getting 1k miles by the end of the year, I’ll get a massage or some kind of spa treatment.
  • I also signed up for the Fans Run the World 2022 virtual race on Racery. It’s only 365 miles, but the route is set in Scotland, and that sounded like fun to me, especially since we can loop the route as many times as we want throughout the year.

Monday’s Minutes

Published on by Rachelle

“Monday’s Minutes” is a weekly post in which I track my bookish life.

Currently Reading:

  • Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon
  • Beauty and the Beast by Elizabeth Rudnick

Finished:

  • Murder at an Irish Christmas by Charlene O’Conner
  • Yule by Susan Pesznecker
  • The Ordeal of the Haunted Room by Jodi Taylor

Challenges:

#ShelfLove – 55 of 51 books from my TBR.

Total pages read this week: 511

Total books for the year: 85 of 90.

This is another short week for me at work, so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to find the time to finish at least one more book before the end of the year. Then I’ll only be four books short of my goal. I also need to find some time to plan out next year’s reading. #BoutofBooks is the first week, so I’ll be getting my sign-up post up by Saturday. I think my goal for the year will be 90 again, because I know I can do at least 85 when everything goes to hell like it did this year and I want to keep my hopes up that 2022 will be better.

What are you reading? Let me know in the comments!

I’m trying to do as much Christmas-related reading as I can. I know I have more holiday-themed books, but, other than a couple of classics, the ones in this post are the only ones I’ve found so far while unpacking book boxes.

  • This check-in is for December 10th – 16th.
  • My steps are down this week thanks to not doing my usual amount of work this week.  On Wednesday, my office had our holiday party, and then on Thursday, I had a couple of appointments and didn’t go to work.
  • I found out that my health is improving, thanks to getting treatment for sleep apnea.  I’m still working on the weight issue, but I’m getting some help for that as well.

Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is too big of a book for me to lug to work with me. Otherwise, I’d probably be done with it by now. Instead, I only read it at night before bed, and lately, I’ve been so tired that I only make it through a few pages before I start to fall asleep. Part of me wants to gobble it up, but another part of me is happy that I’ve got Claire, Jamie, and the people of Fraser’s Ridge for a while. Slow reading is sometimes the best.

I’m not sure I’m going to make my annual reading goal. Finishing 10 books in less than a month is a bit much, even for me. I’m not going to beat myself up about it. A lot has happened this year with my Dad passing, the move across the country, buying a house, and starting a new job, not once, but 3 times. Somehow I still managed to read 80 books so far, and I’m sure I’ll at least finish a couple more by the 31st. That’s pretty good. That’s more than good.

I’ve completed my Shelf Love challenge reading goal! Having 4 days to do whatever I wanted meant lots of audiobook time, as well as staying up late to read. Well, I at least attempted to stay up late reading, but my eyes kept saying no. Apparently, I need the rest.
