On the movie front, I just watched 1 of the 19 movies that were on my list, and it’s probably time to scrap this part from next year’s festivities.
On the reading front, it went a bit better, but not that much, I finished Frankenstein, and read the about half of The Halloween Tree.
Also ,first volume of Marvel’s The Vampire Tales, about 1/5 of the second volume of Werewolf by Night, a couple of short stories from Avatar’s Night of the Living Dead, and the crown jewel of this year’s festivities, Hellboy: The Storm and The Fury.
Not a very productive run, but a really satisfying one.
Right now I am gearing up for my next task, Bookly’s Fall Readathon, which will take place from November 5 to 8, and the main goal is to read 10 hours using the app.
I still have a long way to go on my ultimate goal for this year, 50,000 pages.
I have 45 days left, and about 8,000 pages to go.
But as I said before, one page at a time.
For this weekend I am locked in with two goals.
First, to finish The Bonehunters
According to Bookly, I still have about 4 hours, this book is really complex, and has a vast amount of characters,, so my reason has been really slow, but I am sure this weekend will suffice to get it done.
This will put me over my minimal goal of reading for this year, which was 41,665 pages, a pretty successful year.
The other thing I plan to achieve is to reach my monthly goal of pages, once again using Bookly to track my reading.
That’s 775 pages to go, so I’ll mix in some comic books, and this goal will be surpassed easily.
Today is the final day of the week-long readathon using the amazing Bookly reading app.
As I stated in my last post, the objective was to read 25 hours between April 13 and April 19, as I enter the final day of reading my task still has a little under 8 hours to go.
Yesterday was a really good day of reading, 441 total pages, and I finished a couple of classic DC Comics storylines, Zero Hour and Flashpoint.
And today I’ll continue my adventure thru the DC Comics Multiverse, now it is the time for Batman/Flash: The Button, and Doomsday Clock.
Also, I finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and I have to say that it blew me away, I didn’t think it was going to be so good, it was such the case that I read it in one day.
Now I’ll focus on Guillermo del Toro’s novelization of The Shape of Water.
I am participating on the Bookly latest readathon, a pretty good way to pass this hard times, a bit of light in all of this darkness.
The main goal is to read 25 hours between April 13 to April 19.
So far I have read
Monday 2 hours and 42 minutes
Tuesday 1 hour and 27 minutes
And today, so far, I have read 1 hour and 24 minutes.
That gives me a total of 5 hours and 33 minutes.
Not bad.
Hopefully, I’ll finish the day over 7 hours.
Now for the important part, what I am reading.
I am about to finish The Night of the Hunter, the 25th book of the Legend of Drizzt saga, it’s always a pleasure be back at Faerûn.
I will start the next volume, Rise of the King, this alongside the novelization of the Academy award winning movie The Shape of Water, directed by the amazing Guillermo del Toro.
In the comic book/graphic novel front, I’ll be revisiting some classic DC comics storylines, Zero Hour and Flashpoint.
This as a prelude to read to some events that I haven’t got around to see, The Button and Doomsday Clock.
I have a lot of great material ahead, and a great challenge to tackle.
This is shaping up to be an amazing year of reading.
I’m proud to say that my reading schedule is being fulfilled splendidly, in fact, I am 18 days ahead on my reading.
This weekend was really productive, I read the first five volumes of the amazing comic book series Locke & Key, and also binge the first season of the Netflix series.
Also, I had two 300-page days.
And on the heels of that, today I reached 250 hours of reading using the Bookly app.
