Weekly Reading Wrap Up: March 18th, 2023

Books Finished This Week:

I can’t say this was a bad week really. I also can’t say it was a great week either. At least reading wise. I actually had a pretty wonderful week. I’ve gotten to experience some wonderful things. I’ll even be going to see an early release movie tomorrow! I basically wound up watching more television than reading this week. Normally I’d beat myself up over it, but I think I needed to get my mind off things.

My Activity This Week:

Pages Read: 332
Hours Read: 6
Books Finished: 1
Best Read Day: 111 Pages/ 140 Minutes

I’d love to hear about your week of reading!

The Bone Witch– February 26th
For Whom The Book Tolls– February 26th

I was fully ready to say that I really hadn’t read that much this week. The fact that I managed to finish three books tells me that I was wrong and being too hard on myself.

I didn’t read as much as I have been lately, but it’s okay.

My Reading Stats: June 5th

Lately, I haven’t read as much as I’d like. I’m reading every day still, but just barely on some days. I have still been keeping track. I am hoping that sharing my progress on here will be helpful. We shall see. I will make it from Sunday to Saturday.

Note: Some ebooks I have don’t have page numbers so I measure it by % instead. It gets a little tricky with daily page counting, but it works in the end.

Sunday:

Rise of Riverstone: 401-404
War Storm: 322-391

Monday:

War Storm: 392-430
Rise of Riverstone: 405-590

Tuesday:

Royal Spy: 1%-9%

Wednesday:

Royal Spy: 10%-18%

Thursday:

War Storm: 431-538

Friday:

War Storm: 539-662
Royal Spy: 19%-31%

Saturday:

Royal Spy: 32%-35%

What I hope to read this week:

  1. Royal Spy by Heather Frost
  2. Into the Violet Gardens by Isaac Nasri
  3. Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
  4. Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler
  5. Nightcrawling by Lelie Mottley
  6. The Gate Keeper by James Byrne
  7. Scorpion’s Dance by Jefferson Morley
  8. Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

I’d like to try to read at least a hundred pages a day, but I know that there will be days I won’t do that. I am going to at least make it a point to read at least a chapter a day. I love my job, but sometimes the back-to-back calls for the entire shift is mentally draining. It makes wanting to read really hard. I’ve found myself watching more television than I have reading when I’m not working. I’m just thankful that I’m not having major anxiety over that anymore!

Tell me about your reading these days!

Weekly Wrap Up: 6/12/21

On Monday, I lost my job. For the most part, the decision was mine. It’s not a decision I wanted to make in all honesty. I wanted to be able to reach a compromise that worked for both myself and the company. Sadly, they were unwilling to budge in their decision. It’s okay though. I will move on. I will find another job. Right now, looking for a job is not in my best interest. I’ll be leaving for Texas in about two weeks. I’ll be there until the beginning of August. In August, I’ll be in Savannah for a week and then I’ll be home. I had told my job about this before I officially go the job offer and was told it wasn’t a problem. But I digress. I’m not intending to bash the company. I’m just very disappointed with how things turned out. I know my attendance wasn’t the best, but neither was my health. Things turn out as they should.

Since I lost my job, I have managed to finished nine books. I am on track to finish a lot more. I went from feeling overwhelmed and agitated when I tried to read to getting multiple books read in the span of a few days. It hit me very quickly that the reasons I have been unable to read is that I was facing burn out and stress. This is why I feel like everything is working out as it should.

Other than that, I haven’t really had many things going on in my life this week. Not that that’s a really bad thing. I’m hoping something that works out between now and when I get home. Ideally, I’d like to freelance or be my own boss in something big. Right now, I don’t see that happening. At least not at a full time scale capacity. We will see. Hope everybody has had a fantastic week. Despite how the week started, it’s been an amazing week for me. I’m blessed to have so much support in my life.

Weekly Wrap Up: 4/10/21

Welcome to Weekly Wrap Up. I will discuss how my week has gone. I will include any pictures I’ve taken for the week and my progress in reading. It won’t be all about books. Just my week in general. I will also highlight my five favorite blogs I’ve read during the week.

This has been a really great week. My reading rut is gone. I went from not finishing any books to getting five finished in a few weeks. It really does make me feel good. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get out of the funk that I was in.

I’m also finally able to come up with a schedule that fully works for me. I spent a good part of the week catching up on some things I’m behind on. It’s a great feeling to not feel bogged down on things you’re behind on. I can’t tell you how relieved I feel.

Looking forward to another great week!
