Today was a Feng Shui kind of day around the house, so we did a little tidy up, which is never fun, but on the bright side, I have now some extra shelf space, so hurray for that.
I’ll keep on working on Memories of Ice, and hopefully I’ll get it done by early morning Friday, just in time for the 24in48 readathon.
Right now, as you can see, I’m closing in on 400 pages.
And that will be my goal for the day.
Off to read.

This passed week I did not read as much as usual.
I was taking a break to recharge some batteries and go visit an old friend, the sea.
It was quite relaxing and I enjoyed catching some sun and eating.
Beautiful scenery to be really enjoy, thus my lack of a great progress, but have no fear, because next weekend, I’ll devote myself to the 24in48 readathon and it will be really productive.
Right now I am working on Memories of Ice, because I want to be done by early Friday morning and start with my readathon with a couple of short novels from a Mexican editorial house, Paraiso Perdido, but more on that later.
For now I’ll use my new comic book acquisitions as a palate cleanser, this time it will be issue number six of Justice League Dark and the ninth and final issue of DC Heroes in Crisis.

With little over a week from the start of the 24in48 Readathon, I decided that for the next few days there will be no clocks and only two goals.
The first is to finish Memories of Ice by July 19, in the morning.
And the second task is to replenish my junk food stash for the upcoming reading sessions.

Hello, and welcome to another installment of Old School Monday.
For this occasion I read the issue that had the privilege to be the first appearance of iconic character Wonder Woman.
Originally released on the last day of 1941, it introduces us to Princess Diana and Paradise Island, and the turn of events that lead her to leave the peaceful island.
This origin story expands to Sensation Comics # 1 and eventually to the first issue of her solo comic, Wonder Woman, which I’ll read the following weeks.
As an added bonus this issue also features the Justice Society of America, including some of my favorite characters like Sandman and Spectre.
I love this type of comic and the way they establish a graphic standard for storytelling for generations to come.
For now, I’ll go back to trying to chip away some pages of Memories of Ice.

Tomorrow, I’ll write about my progress with my reading and the old school Monday of the week.
But for now, I’ll go to sleep to the sound of crashing waves.

My morning reading was pretty good.
I read the fifth volume of Dragonero and compendium of Editorial Chipotle infamous canine, Maligno, it is pretty funny and irreverent, you can check it out at their website.
Right now I am about to start reading the second volume of the new Kick-ass series, this time written by one of my favorite authors, Steve Niles, of 30 days of Night fame.
All of this while I pack for my next adventure.

It’s official, this morning, I surpassed my total reading for last, which was my second best year with a total of 32,148 pages.
Right now I have a total 32,208 pages, 60 more than last year, and with 101 days to go on my reading year, I aim to at least bring down my best year of reading, the first one with a total of 47,705 pages.
I’m up for the challenge.
In news of my overall progress, I gained some ground on my total reading for this year, right now I am 44 days behind schedule, but steadily gaining ground.
Concerning reaching 500,000 pages, I am currently estimating January 4, 2029, as the finishing date, that is almost 7 months earlier than when I originally started estimating my progress.
I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but I am motivated as hell.

As I close out my day of reading I have only a single goal running around my head.
Make this he second best year of reading.
And, with little over 300 pages to go, I think it is the perfect occasion to do so,
I have three books in mind to get me there, volumes four and five of fantasy series Pathfinder.
And the third volume of Italian fantasy series Dragonero.
I’m feeling really confident that those pages will be surpassed.
Off to read.
