With little over two weeks to go for the start of the 24in48 Readathon, I have my reading schedule ready to roll.
Because of the time zone issue, the official start is at midnight of Saturday in Eastern Daylight Time and I am on Mountain Daylight Time, which is two hours ahead.
So, I will start at 10 p.m. of Friday night, and read 11 hours Saturday and Sunday.
Here is my schedule.
Hopefully this time I’ll read the 24 hours.
Off to read.

I am only 495 pages to surpass last year total, 32,619 pages.
And when I do this year will officially become my second best year of reading.
The goal for this year is 53,000 pages,and with almost 4 months to go,I am pretty confident that I’ll get there, or at least break the record of my best year, a little over 47,000 pages.
For today’s reading I will finish the second volume of Dragonero and try to advance as much as I can with Memories of Ice.
Off to read.

Hello again, on this Monday I read the first appearance of Test Pilot and Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
This story was originally printed on September 1959, it was written by John Broome and illustrated by the legendary Gil Kane.
They were looking a way to reintroduce the character but making different from the first Green Lantern in the DC Universe, Alan Scott.
Since the space race craze was in full swing, a space policeman was just perfect for the era.
My favorite part was the now classic Green Lantern oath, to think that one of the most iconic lines is now 60 years old.
This particular version that I read is an Spanish reprint of the original book, and it is sold in a sealed pack containing some blind comic books, encase in a foil wrap, from the modern DC Comics era, it is well worth the price in order to read this classic tale.
Next week I’ll start with the origin story of Wonder Woman, than means All-Star Comics and the Justice Society of America.
Now, off to read.

I enter this last reading session with a bit over 13 hours on the reading clock and two amazing days of progress.
I want to closeout not only the week but also the month of June, which has been historical for this blog, with a bang.to help me out to close this down, I’ll invoke the help of the third volume of the fantasy series Pathfinder, based on the Role-playing game.
And try to chip away a bit more of Memories of Ice, currently on page 122.
Also tomorrow I’ll made a numbers update.
Off to read.

I spent this morning reading for awhile and making plans for the rest.
I finally finished the first 100 list of books, for this occasion it was for fantasy.
I’ll start with Fiction probably sometime next week.
The other great thing about today is that my special order of the Italian graphic novel, in it’s Spanish version, Dragonero.
I am still missing some issues, three to be exact, but they will arrive soon.
Plenty of new material.
Off to read.

I’ll close out my reading day with a little over 15 hours on my reading clock and probably closing in on 700 pages for this week.
Tonight’s repertoire will include numbers seven and eight of the current run by Simon Spurrier on The Dreaming, part of the Sandman Universe.
And the latest numbers of DC Heroes in Crisis, numbers five thru eight.
Off to read.

As I enter the final hours of the day, there is still some 17 plus hours to go on my weekly reading clock.
I could chip away almost 3 hours, and hopefully I’ll slip another one before I succumb to sleep.
Right now I’m reading Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol and the third book of The Malazan Book of the Fallen, Memories of Ice.
Lets see how much I can achieve.
Off to read.

Entering the weekend and I have still 20 hours left in the clock and only 285 total pages for the week.
So, it’s time to put some effort to this and finish the week strong.
I’ll start with some DC Comics stories, Batman Who Laughs, Justice League Dark and Green Lantern.
Jump into The Malazan book of the Fallen.
And finish the day with Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol.
Off to read.

I started my reading day with a bang, and now I am close to finishing The Dark Phoenix Saga.
Tomorrow I’ll update my numbers, and hopefully there will be progress all across the table
And finally, I am giving another shot to the reading progress app Bookly, starting fresh with my list, so far it is working excellent, I think the problem was that it was not suitable for my tablet, will see.
Off to read.

I went yesterday to pick-up the new comic books for this week.
As I mentioned last time, here in Mexico, it is a whole adventure to find those new books, but that doesn’t discourage me.
To start, there was waiting for me the fourth volume of the Prince Valiant.
4 down, 72 volumes to go.
Also, the eight issue of DC Heroes in Crisis, and the start of a new series of one of my favorite characters, Green Lantern, written by one of my favorite writers, Grant Morrison, this looks really promising.
I will make tomorrow a comic book day, I just have to find the fifth number of DC Heroes in Crisis and I’m all set.
But tonight it’s back to Genabackis
