I barely read at all last year because having a baby is kinda a big time suck, and whenever she was napping I was either napping too or cleaning something, or making food, or whatever. So I made my goal 24 books in 2013, which is painfully low compared to pre-Rosalie, but is what I thought a realistic yet challenging number.
Right now (as I post this, because the above widget will change), I am at 12 of 24 books; 50%. On my GoodReads homepage, this also tells me that I am 3 books, or 13% behind schedule.
Ouch.
Before I started reading the Song of Ice and Fire series, I was 2 books ahead of schedule. But these books are so freakin' long that they are like reading two, maybe even three, books and only getting credit for one. The one I am on right now is almost 1200 pages, and I am just closing in on the half way mark.
These books are kinda killing my reading ego.
AND my blogging ego, because just the other day at my 100 post, I was saying I wanted to post more book reviews, but I can't if I don't finish a bloody book. Not to mention that a series is almost like one big long story, so by the 5th book I am pretty sure I will have little or nothing to say about it without spoilers. So be ready for lame book reviews for my next 3.
And don't try to tell me I should read something else between them, cuz I really gotta know what happens next... well,.. ok... maybe after this next one, because then I will be caught up in the Game of Thrones TV series.... maybe...
I think I might just compensate by reading five teen/young adult novels when I'm done these. That would be fair, right?
