Total books for the year: 61 of 85. I don’t think I’ve ever read so little in one week since I started this blog. What have I been doing with my time? Working, listening to podcasts, watching “Supernatural.” I’ve also been getting to bed later than usual instead of my normal 30 minutes early so I can relax with a good book. Hopefully, I will get back to my normal routine this week.

Total books for the year: 59 of 85. I finished “A Series of Unfortunate Events”, and the Boyfriend and I also finished the show on Netflix. As you can see, I’m now working my way through the other related books. I ordered The Beatrice Letters and will hopefully have it in my hands by the time I finish The Unauthorized Autobiography. It’s not a huge deal if I don’t, since it’s not like I don’t have plenty of other books I can read until then.

Total books for the year: 56 of 85. I might have mentioned this already, but I’m trying to finish “A Series of Unfortunate Events” so that The Boyfriend and I can watch the final season of the show on Netflix. I stayed up a little bit past my normal bedtime last night just so I could finish The Penultimate Peril.

Total books for the year: 53 of 85. Tomorrow is the first day of #FrightFall and #SomeithingWickedFall, and I got so excited about it that I went to a bookstore on Saturday and bought The Folcroft Ghosts and The Haunting of Gillespie House, both by Darcy Coates. I started reading The Folcroft Ghosts while I sipped on a smoothie. I had read highly positive reviews of some other books by Coates, but I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was.

Total books for the year: 51 of 85. Last week was #BoutofBooks 29 and it helped me catch up on my annual reading goal. I’m still behind by 3 books, but I’m hoping that my reading will pick back up next week, after the final exam for my Health Coach certification.

Total books for the year: 46 of 85. The #ReverseReadathon was this weekend, and it was exactly what I needed, along with the two books I picked up from the library. I thought I would finish The Dante Club shortly after the readathon, but that didn’t happen. I have just over a hundred pages left, and I know I’ll finish it this week because I have another book to pick up from the library.

Total books for the year: 45 of 85. So much for finishing at least one of my current reads! I went on a short vacation to Lake Tahoe, and I thought I would be spending quite a bit of my time relaxing with a book, but that didn’t happen. I did relax, but while walking around, eating wonderful food, and napping.

Shortly before I left on my trip, my local public library announced they were reopening for curbside pickup. I immediately put a couple of books on hold, including The Archived. My books were ready to be picked up by time I got back home, so I hopped on the bus to go get them. I started reading The Archived as soon as I got back to the bus stop to go home. I don’t know what took me so long to read this book!
