In my reading life
I’ve
been experimenting with book polygamy. I usually only read one book at a time,
but I’ve been reading several at once for all of December. I’m not sure if I
like book polygamy, but I did read a lot this week, so maybe it’s helping me
read faster. I finished Peter Pan by
J.M. Barrie and Burning Down the House:
Essays on Fiction by Charles Baxter. I also read The Lord of Opium by Nancy Farmer and The Faster I Walk, The Smaller I Am by Kjersti
Annesdatter Skomsvold. Up next is Feed
by M.T. Anderson.
In my blogging life
I’m somehow way behind on answering comments
again. If you left a comment on my blog last week, I promise I’m not ignoring
you.
Also, I’m planning my 2016 reading challenges.
I’ve decided to participate in the 2016 Horror Reading Challenge. When I was a
teenager, horror was pretty much the only genre I read. I guess I’m going back
to my roots next year. I want to read at least 5 horror books, and I want to
focus on classic horror. I want to read all the old stuff that influences the
modern stuff.
In the rest of my life
Five things that made me happy last week:
- Planning blog posts for January.
- The first draft of The Giant Essay From Hell has been turned in. Now I’m waiting for it to come back so I can do revisions.
- I finally got around to seeing Mockingjay Part 2.
- So many new books. The mailman probably thinks I’m insane because I get abnormally excited about Amazon packages.
- It’s almost Christmas.
Happy holidays, and see you around the blogosphere!
I am actually trying to do more reading at the same time. I usually always have an ebook and audio going at the same time but now I am adding in a "real" book too. We will see! My mailman knows I am nuts by the obscene amount of Amazon packages I get!!! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI used to always read only one book at a time, but in recent years, I've developed a taste for reading at least 2 books at once - usually one audiobook and one physical - but I've had phases where I had 3-5 books on the go at once so I guess I'm an avid book polygamist LOL! Have a wonderful week and happy holidays ♥
ReplyDeleteI don't thin book polygamy is for me, but if it's helping you read more, that's awesome! I just prefer to completely immerse myself into one thing only.
ReplyDeleteYou watched MJP2!!! I loved that movie so so so much. I hope you enjoyed it. I seriously was weeping throughout like the entire thing. So goood!
I'm so excited about Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful week and a fantastic Christmas!
My Sunday post!
Great week, and I get excited over boxes too!! Good luck with your Challenge, though it sounds like you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of book polygamy either. I tried it once and that was enough hehe. I also was a horror reader when I was younger! It's a genre I still delve into sometimes, but not as often as in my teens.
