November Wrap Up

Wow! I can't believe this month is already over. I thought it was going to go by really slow but the month just flew by before I realized it. I think that happened because I set two big goals for myself during the month of November.

The first thing I decided to do was participate in NaNoWriMo for the first time ever. As excited as I was I didn't do very good for my first try. Sadly I didn't even get to a thousands words. I decided to take a short story I wrote for a class and develop and expand it. When I got around to actually starting it was already a week and a half into the month. I honestly wasn't prepared and wasn't in the right mind set to do it. I got caught up in all the excitement of everyone else doing it so I decided very last minute (the day before Nano started) to participate. I was a little upset at first but I got over it because there were a lot more important things I had to worry about. I will definitely be trying again next year!

The other big goal I set for myself was to try to read at least half the amount of books I still have to read for my 2015 reading challenge. I think I could have got a lot more reading done this month but I kept putting off reading because I felt bad that I wasn't writing.

Now that I went over the majority of how this month was related to reading and writing, let's move on to what I actually read!

2015 Reading Challenge


Right now I have read 34 books so far this year. That means I have 16 more books to read by the end of December to complete my challenge that I set for myself on Goodreads. Although that's a lot of books to read in a month I still think it can be done. I have been adding some books to the challenge that I read this year but never put on Goodreads for some reason. I having been reading more than one book at a time and using every spare minute to read so I'm going to do my best to finish my reading goal. 

New to My Shelves


I think I got a little out of control this month. I bought the most books I've ever gotten in this short amount of time. I managed to buy 10 books during November, and that wasn't even including ebooks. One of the books I got through Uppercase. I accidentally ordered a gift subscription so I decided to try it out for a month. I also won a book through a Goodreads giveaway.

October Wrap Up

I have been blogging for about a month now and I'm still going strong. I can honestly say I'm proud of myself because every other time I tried to start a random blog, I usually would have stopped posting by now.

I got a little off schedule last week but I'm back on it now. This month has been really crazy for me. I finally started working at the job I was offered the position for at the end of August. Since I work overnight Fridays and Saturdays for now, I have been trying to adjust and make sure I get everything for the blog done ahead of time.

With all of that said, let's get to the actual content for this post! It took me most of the month to get through the only book I finished so it was a slow month for reading.

2015 Reading Challenge


Since I only finished one book this month, now I have read 30 books so far. Goodreads says I'm 11 books behind. I really want to finish my goal this year so I'm going to do everything I can to get to reading. I will probably try to find a few shorter books to read so I can get the amount of books I read up.

Like I said before, October was a rough month for reading but I'm trying to get back on track now.
