Week 3 Review

Page Numbers for the Week Jan 13-19: 692. Total Pages for 2019 so far: 2,631. Page Average Per Day: 139. Total Books: 9.

I hate doing it, but I'm abandoning Michael Donkor's Housegirl. I kept trying to pick it up, but I guess I'm just not in the right place for it. I can tell that it's probably excellent so I'll try again at some point. I'm continuing to struggle with page count. I'll give it another week, but I think I might need to set a different goal. I'm generally coming in at around 100 pages

Short List for the Week:

  1. Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff (Ryan's Recommendation)
  2. The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (Tsundoku Stack - Classroom Library)
  3. The Mortal Word by Genevieve Cogman (Dekalb Library) - Finished 1/23/2019
  4. Odd One Out by Nic Stone (Dekalb Library)
  5. War Cross by Marie Lu (Dekalb Library)
  6. Elevation by Stephen King (Dekalb Library)
  7. Grammar to Get Things Done by Darren Crovitz and Michelle Deveraux (Pedagogy Book for January)

I've been library heavy for a couple of weeks now. I tend to run through phases and right now I'm loving the library. However, I'm only slated for 50 library books. . . I'm already at six which means if I stick to this pace I'll read 144 library books -- big win for the library system, but it's not the goal.  Maybe I'll declare a week of Tsundoku love for February... although it occurs to me that the nebulous other category is going to be the real problem.

In other words...it's time to diversify posts.
