Total # of books for the year: 47.  Do you remember how last week I said I was going to get back to being an organized blogger?  Yeah, about that…The Boyfriend and I have been binging Downton Abbey together.  While I’ve seen most of the series, I started over after he expressed an interest in trying it out, and I’m fairly certain I’m even more hooked on it than I was before.  Most of our free time has been consumed with watching or discussing the show, so I haven’t done much organization wise or anything else for that matter.  We’ll probably be done by the end of the week, so I’ll hopefully have some time to sit down and get everything in order on Saturday or Sunday.

Total # of books for the year: 46.  I completely forgot about reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding for the Classics Club Spin, and I also forgot to write my discussion post for #ShelfLove.  I need to get back to keeping this blog organized, so I’ll probably be taking some time this week to do that.

Total # of books for the year: 41.  The Boyfriend was a great help in doing all the things that have to be done for us to live while I was stuck on the couch with an injured back.  However, a lot of little things got left by the wayside.  Being the clean freak I am, it drove me nuts, and so I’ve been focusing on getting everything back into perfect order as soon as possible.  It’s getting there, but my reading has slowed a little.  I’m also trying to catch up on the book reviews that I thought I would get written while I couldn’t do much of anything else.  I started with The World’s Strongest Librarian on Saturday, and I hope to get two more posted this week.

Total # of books for the year: 39.  I didn’t get much reading done this week, until yesterday, when I started Divergent.  I had a difficult time putting that book down when I needed to do anything other than read.  I’ll probably finish it before Wednesday.

Total # of books for the year: 37.  I’ve got a lot of reviews to write again, which means I’ve got plenty to do while I’m stuck on the couch and not able to exercise while my back is healing.  I’ve also begun taking notes on Middle-Earth history specifically related to Hobbits because I’m that much of a nerd and find the project to be relaxing and fun.  Yes, there are plenty of websites on the internet that detail anything and everything about Middle-Earth, but I prefer figuring it out on my own and not relying on the potentially inaccurate work of others.  Besides, I can then create a page here showcasing my work 🙂  To help me with my studies, the Boyfriend brought home a fresh loaf of crusty bread, clotted cream, and jam for me to snack on while I read and drink cup after cup of tea.  He is the best boyfriend in all of time and space.

Total # of books for the year: 33.  Today starts my Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge, and I’ve set my goal to Time Lord because why not?  Also, I’ve got lots of Science Fiction, including several “Doctor Who” books, on my TBR shelves and they’ve been sitting there for far too long.  On top of that, the COYER Summer challenge started on the 18th, and they’ve thrown the rules out the window, made some iced tea, and cranked the AC so any book qualifies, regardless of format.  That all adds up to the perfect time to empty my physical shelves!
