Week 10 - The Impossibility of Page Counts

Page Numbers for the Week: 0. Total Pages for 2019 so far: 5766. Page Average Per Day: 85. Total Number of Books: 20.


It will seem, from the numbers, like I'm still stuck. I'm not. I just broke my block on a 700 page book and that takes time to get through...even for me. I'll probably finish it up some time today or tomorrow and next week's numbers are going to look amazing. I'm feeling a little exhausted by it all, I hate falling behind and by any metric one chooses, I'm behind. I also haven't kept up with my writing and it all kind of weighs on me.


Nothing to do in a situation like this but turn into it and keep moving forward. So here we go.

A Long Short List:
  1. War Storm by Victoria Aveyard (Dekalb Library) -  Finished 3/12/2019
  2. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 1 Cosmic Avengers (Ryan's Christmas gift from Thomas) - Finished 3/12/2019
  3. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2 Angela (Ryan's Christmas gift from Thomas) - Finished 3/13/2019
  4. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3 Guardians Disassembled (Ryan's Christmas gift from Thomas) - Finished 3/14/2019
  5. Dinner For Everyone by Mark Bittman (Gift From Ryan)
  6. A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness (Tsundoku - bought it in Chattanooga last summer)
  7. Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai (Classroom Library) - Finished 3/16/2019
  8. His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik (Tsundoku Stack and also got a mention on Book Riot)
  9. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (Tsundoku Stack) - Finished 3/14/2019
  10. Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson (Classroom Library) - Finished 3/15/2019
  11. Black Enough: Stories of Being Young and Black in America edited by Ibi Zoboi (School Library)
  12. Teaching English by Design by Peter Smagorinsky (Pedagogy book - Playing Catch Up)
A longer list than normal that features three books that are almost completed and five that are very short. All determination for hard work aside, boosting the book count number will almost certainly go a ways to improving my overall motivation. Is it strategy or cheating? I can't decide.
