The Buddha in the Attic — 3161.

[Jill]

You're on fire lately Kati

[Jill]

Just finished Oathbringer, up to 6664 pages.

[Kati]

Sputnik Sweetheart puts me at 3371. I keep getting roped into reading shortish books!

[Jill]

I've slowed down a bit lately, just in the mood to savor some truly awful classic sci-fi novellas. Up to 7240 now.

[Philippe]

Kati, how is Sputnik sweetheart? I want to go for a Murakami after my current book but I can't decide.

[Kati]

Of the three Murakami I’ve read, it’s probably my favorite. No annoying cat obsession. :) It’s fairly short, though.

[Kati]

Boy, Snow, Bird (recommended) brings me to 3679. Just slowly plugging away. :p

[Jill]

Just finished the second book in the Hyperion Cantos. Very recommended. Hit 8239.

[Kati]

3919 — Amy Merrick’s On Flowers is the reading equivalent of having someone braid your hair and tell you you’re pretty.

[Kati]

4204 — Born a Crime; upsetting but fascinating.

[Jake]

Sorry that I have been very quiet. I was caught up with work reated things and hobbies. Read a few books in between all that. Metamorphasis, England and the Need for Nations (recommended it to Jonny who liked it), Executive Intent, Come as You Are, The Prefect and Mating Intelligence Unleashed. On 4034 words now. Back on the reading wagon everyday now.

[Kati]

Building Stories by Chris Ware — 4464.

[Jill]

Everyone's been quiet, glad to see people are still working away at it! I just finished the Hyperion Cantos series, and I'm ringing in at 9511. Gotta choose my next book carefully to hit that halfway point!

[Kati]

My Famous Evening by Howard Norman gets me to 4688.

[Kati]

Leanne Shapton's Guestbook: Ghost Stories -- now at 4991. A bit of a cheat since there are a lot of pictures, but whatever.

[Andrew]

I also just finished the hyperion cantos. Brings me to 7797. (I also finished 10 of the disc world books)

[Kati]

All the Birds, Singing gets me to 5231.

[Jill]

Been on a little binge of shorter books, including two which, I realized (after reading), were abridged. I re-read the full version of one, and gave up on the other. Just finished Contact by Carl Sagan moments ago and goddamn that was a great story. I've cleared the halfway mark. Just hit 10704.

[Jill]

Pushing on, read a couple more Discworld books, some L Ron Hubbard and a smattering of random sci-fi. Up to 13935 now!

[Kati]

Read the new Bess Kalb, so 5455. This is not going very quickly! ☹️

[Andrew]

Finished another big chunk of Terry Pratchett! Up to book 20 in disc world. And finished good omens. Gets me to 12308

[Jill]

Finished two books today that I've been really dragging my feet on. Glad that's done. 13935.

[Jill]

I don't know how to delete that double post on mobile, so enjoy!

[Kati]

What the Bee Knows = 5758

[Jill]

Continuing to power through Discworld and finished a couple meh books. 16820, and just cracked open Dune for a re-read.

[Kati]

A Very Long Engagement — 6094. Should be over 7,000 by end of month but still very, very far from 20,000. My goal may be more like 15,000...

[Jill]

15k is still way more than most people read in a year, Kati. And this year is pretty fucking distracting.

[Kati]

"Distracting" is an understatement, lol. Trucking along in any event. :) Little Fires Everywhere = 6432.

[Kati]

Life and Fate makes it 7,303.

[Kati]

Narcopolis has me at 7595.

[Jill]

Cleared 20k with The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (would not recommend). Gonna see how high I can go!

[Andrew]

I'm up to 17377 after discovering Raymond E Feist's crazy saga

[Kati]

Less's 273 pages puts me at 7868. Gosh I'm behind. :p

[Andrew]

I have passed 20k! Another 7 of feists' books done! Brings me to 20413!

[Jake]

Finally got round to sitting down and adding my books/pages to a spreadsheet like Andrew recommended. Currently on 8,143.

[Jill]

Nice everyone is moving it right along!

[Kati]

Read Braiding Sweetgrass and DH Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers. So at 8913.

[Kati]

Circe and the new Wayside School book bring me to 9498.

[Kati]

Two foster books puts me at 10060! Halfway there (lol)!

[Kati]

Found a reading groove. Last Cruise and Station Eleven put me at 10697.

[Kati]

Agata Kristof's disturbing trilogy gets me to 11,177.

[Jill]

You're on fire Kati! I have been at a low fucking smolder for sure. I'm at 21256, and treading water mid-Dune series.

[Kati]

It’s really diminishing returns after the second Dune book, IMHO.

[Kati]

Three more books to 11,586. Still fingers crossed for 15k but idk

[Kati]

I mean 12066.

[Jill]

Creeping up on that 15k, you'll get it. Also you and your sister had me cracking up on your podcast.

[Kati]

Thanks! But I haven't read anything for a few days. Just been watching CNN and convulsing. :(

[Jill]

My page count didn't change from like July until this week. Also congratulations on ousting a dictator!
