Welcome to Tsundoku Fest. All of February all I'm reading are books I already own. All the library books are back in their respective homes. That was really hard actually. I had to give back about seven books unread. I started the last week with about seven books, read three, but they just kept coming in from previously made requests. There's pressure somehow to read them which I suppose in a community way makes sense. Other people can't have those copies because I have them. I guess I just get too excited when faced with a library catalog.
Tsundoku Stack Short List:
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (from my classroom library)- Finished 2/9/2019- The Wall by John Lanchester
Life Below Stairs by Alison Maloney- Finished 2/4/2019- Ringworld by Larry Niven
The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon- Finished 2/7/2019- Teaching English by Design by Peter Smagorinsky (Pedagogy Book)
So, it seems like my comfortable reading rate during school is about 100 pages a day. Next to the national average, that's none too shabby but it's not where I thought I was. I need to decide whether I'm changing my goal or if the average comes up significantly during off school times. It's going to be a big wait and see game.
I'm having to put January's pedagogy book aside. That isn't because it is bad or slow, it's because I picked a grammar text to start with. I'm going to continue picking at it...but my brain goes swimmy if I spend too much time on it at once.
