Daily Reading Goals
Well, yesterday I got 2 1/2 of my goals read. LOL But I have to forgive myself since I was home with hubby and we ended up decorating our tree, going out to eat, and I had from 12-3:30 taken up with a business venture and I was on the road. So here's today's goals:
~ Read "Your temporary Santa" (15 pages)
~ minimum ch. 1-8, (257 pages) This book is 501 pages.
~ Gemma's POV - Ch 1-6 (54 pages)

yay! I'm so glad you are doing the audio version. isn't he wonderful!
I know, it's hard to find a good reader. I'll definitely keep you posted if I find another good one :)
I didn't end up completing my goals yesterday. But I already finished
today and I loved it. Now I want to start, and hopefully get 100 pages into
My Goals for Today:1. Finish:
2. Read 122 pages:
3. Read 110 pages:
4. Cozy up to hubby in front of a nice fire this evening. :o)
LOL Right now I need a MIRACLE!!! lol I ended up doing so much on my computer today and hubby and I went to Applebee's on a gift certificate I got from our yearbook publishing company rep, found a special for buy one for $12.49 and get one FREE, so we did! LOL We each had a drink (non-alcohol) and gave a 21% tip and it came out to $25 exactly...so a FREE meal and a nice dinner with hubby. Now we are foregoing our fire because it's a wee bit "late" since he gets up early. Oh well, NOW maybe I can read. I think I need to change my day's goals to something like a total of 100 pages. LOL And good luck to YOU! :o)
My goal is to read part VIII of

Over here going to attempt a reading spree to start and finish

I want to try to finish

Thank you, it's a slow recouping process but I'm getting there. :o)
My goals today are:
read 100 pages
read 30 %
read the whole book
read at least 10 pages. I'm reading this for an exam and it's so boring I just can't...
I need to finish
, it's never taken me so long to finish a book I like! It's taken me 2 months to read 66%. Of course, in that time I've finished 50 other books, but still, I like it, and yet, I read 10-20 pages and then put it down.
My goal yesterday was to get 50% done
but I only made 45% (though I have to say this book really ramps up at about 30%)My goal today is to reach 75% on
and 25% on
which I am listening to as an audio book.
I managed to finish
and
and
and
all yesterday, ending 2016 with a bang! Now my goal for the next two days is to read anything that strikes my fancy :)
yay!! Congrats on everyone who finished their goals!!It's a new year, so a new day for goals!!

I wish you great luck in achieving your goals!

(And one of those is usually an audio book I only listen to at work or while I'm walking).My secret is to pick books that are vastly different from one another. A contemporary YA, science fiction, a classic, a non-fiction and a Fantasy or a Mystery, and then I usually have a few re-reads going.

Wow, GR did something crazy with my original response, and it had stuff in the "reply" that nobody had ever said, and it left me feeling like I was having some weird out of body experience!!!
So my original response was something like this:
I have been listening to the audiobook version! It was the only version that my online library had available for White Cat, and I liked the audiobook version so well, I have continue the rest of the series on audio.
I have a love/hate relationship with audiobooks, and so when I find a series with a narrator I like, I try to stick with it. (Unless I get too impatient and then I need to find a physical copy because I can read so much faster than they can read, lol)
So If you can suggest any other series with great narrators...
