I go so far as to do actual page counts as well. I think my brain just wants to be challenged so it makes me do simple math. :P
Maybe we could post our daily plans to help motivate each other?
Bookbuyer wrote: "Maybe we could post our daily plans to help motivate each other?"I can try. Today I hope to finish:
and at least make progress in:
& especially
Crescendo is my late night ebook so I don't plan on muck but a few pages there. if I finish Totally Captivated I will go back to the Skip Beat series and if I finish Fangirl I will focus on either Burning World or Nos4a2. Not sure which. I am off today so I might get some good reading in but it depends when my husband gets home and his plans for the evening.
I work long shifts the next 2 days after this so not a lot of reading plans during these days so just relying on the plan above. Right now I keep alternating readine times. I get 10-20 minutes of manga reading for every 20-30 minutes of novel reading I do. Back and forth.
I am struggling with a slump so that crazy alternating helps
Oh wow. I don't typically do page counts for this challenge, but it's not a bad idea. xD I'd be game for posting plans and motivating each other! That could be helpful!
Jamie wrote: "I am struggling with a slump so that crazy alternating helps"That's good!
This will depend on when I stop planning and whether one of my eps gets translated. I also need to take a long bath and get in some quality reading time.

I am torn on tracking by pages. I do this but when I fall behind I feel very overwhelmed. Yet my logical brain wants me to do it anyways.
Finish:
Start:
I'm probably overshooting here considering the time of day, but.... I'm going to try.

I really count pages when my library books are due and I need to figure out what I need to do to get them all read. Then I panic and end up reading nothing. I know I shouldn't do it, but I do it everytime. xD

I just cut out books if I get too far behind. Or keep upping my daily page count till I feel I have gone a bit crazy. lol.

You can do it! ^-^

I only have ebook library books so I'm usually not in a huge rush. :)

Yes this! I go crazy for a couple days then when I am forced to accept the inevitable I cut out books. I hate doing so especially if it is a BR but things happen.

Same. I also just plan unrealistically. Like wanting to read 100 books a month when usually I'm lucky to be my 12 books in for serious. :P

I've been trying to be better about this myself.
Well my reading plans for today are going down the drain :( Work just called me in. Which will also mean a late night today and I have to be in first thing in the morning! Boo. But I can use the $ so in I go.

And just as quick they call me back and say never mind just as I am about to leave... 😑 we’ll back to the books 😂
I don't know whether to be happy for you or sad for you. I guess both? 😜
I'm about 10 pages into my goal. I'm not loving it but I'm reading it. :)
My brain has decided it really doesn't want to read so I'm going to futile browse Netgalley instead.
I'll browse Netgalley when I can't read too. It's not good for me. Haha.At least you get to read now, Jamie? Haha.

Already found a few I want. One isn't on Goodreads though. :(
Erin wrote: "Did you like The Rule of One? I'm hoping to get to that one soon."I loved it! I am currently reading
Up next is probably
or something

[b..."Awesome! Once I finish my round of ebooks maybe I'll start that one then! c:
And you're reading quite a few at one! I always struggle doing that. Haha.

Yep! I'll take it. Just finished Skip Beat 10 so now alternating TC and Fangirl. But first I am taking a book break to declutter my medicine cabinet and bathroom supplies! Then back to reading before dinner :)

[bookcover:A Discovery of Wit..."Well A Discovery of Witches is really long, Cycles of Time - Revenge is mine is short, but as an author review copy has some errors that bug me if I read it for too long and my BR of A Darkest Star just started... soo..

[bookcover:A Dis..."How is A Discovery of Witches so far? I still have that on a list to try and get from the library. Should I up in on my list queue?
It's long, but already very good. I would definitely recommend it. I saw it on so many peoples blogs this week as a Top 5 Witchy Book
I re-read a favorite of mine to help with my mood and to help get me back into reading. Won't count but I'm hoping I can now find a book that will count.
You can do it, Bookbuyer! Hopefully, you'll find something!
Erin wrote: "You can do it, Bookbuyer! Hopefully, you'll find something!"Hopefully. I've been trying several books. Too bad the series I want to read won't till again till next year. :/
Ohhh that's a bummer. :c What series is that?
Erin wrote: "Ohhh that's a bummer. :c What series is that?"
read it in March. Want to read it in March again as well.
I have a few graphic novels to add in the morning or early afternoon tomorrow. Really need to do some major novel reading though.
I think I'm finally reading again. I'm about 90-ish percent done
and I'm maybe 10% into
I just posted a review. I'm currently reading That Summer and should be done with it hopefully tomorrow. 40% done with it.
I still need to post GN reviews. Almost done with fangirl. Should have some reading time tomorrow. Actually should get a lot done this coming week I hope. Got a major Readathon next weekend :)
59% done with That Summer!!! @Jamie- I love Fangirl!!!
It’s a reread for me. Wanted to read it before carry on. Should be finished tonight. Only 50 pages left!
So I finished one BR book. Need to write my review.I'm going to force myself to finish The Iron King. I hate it but I'm like 90% done so I might as well get the full points.
I'm also 20% in to my third BR book. :)
70%- That SummerWill post today!!! Hopefully!!!

I feel this so hard! I have written down everything to read, but now I'm like "okay so this BR started here so when do I actually start it." I'm planning far too much. xD
