(Y-12) Quarantined Days, update 10

Yesterday was a good day of reading.

I mainly focus on chipping away pages from Midnight Tides, read 101 pages, also read about 50 pages of the second volume of the Umbrella Academy, Dallas.

My plan for today was to finish Midnight Tides, this to keep up with my reading schedule of 49 total books for the year , but to be honest, I am kind of tired today.

So, I’ll read whatever I can today, and tomorrow I’ll take over the world, sorry I mean finish the book.

For now, I am off to read.

(Y-12) Quarantined Days, Update 9

Another good day of reading.

My total was 158 pages, and I’m 6,699 pages away from 40,000, and there are still 49 days left.

I finishing reading the ninth volume, this is from the Spanish edition, of Hellboy, The Wild Hunt, I can safely say that it is my favorite story arc.

On my book front, Midnight Tides, I read 62 pages, and reached page 301, now comes the interesting part, I have two days until my deadline, and 323 pages to go.

That’s 162 pages per day, caffeine don’t fail me now.

(Y-12) Quarantined Days, Update 8

Yesterday was an amazing day.

Maybe I didn’t read a ton of pages, my total was 150,  but I finally caught the rhythm of Midnight Tides, read 54 pages yesterday, and I am very hopeful to finish it by this weekend.

I am currently 385 pages away from finishing the book, and I will focus on this series for the remainder of the year, maybe I will sacrifice reading the 49 books that I set as a goal, but I am determined to see how this amazing epic saga plays out.

Also, I returned to my favorite comic book series, Hellboy, this time it was the story arc The Wild Hunt, which in my opinion is the best of all of the series, I mean Hellboy and Arthurian mythology, what more can you ask for.

With yesterday’s total, my goal of reaching 40,000 pages is only 6,857 pages away, and with 50 days left, that’s about 138 pages per day, I am pretty certain to hit the mark.

For now, I am off to read.

(Y-12) Quarantined Days, Update 4

Yesterday was an amazing day.

I got to celebrate my birthday with my wife and kids, had a great piece of steak, and way too many glasses of red wine.

I didn’t read as much as I intended, but it was a really relaxing day.

On my journey thru Midnight Tides, the fifth book of The Malazan Book of the Fallen, I only read 10 pages, and I still have the intention of finishing it by next Sunday, so I see some intense reading sessions in my future.

Also, I started reading Brian Wood’s Vertigo Comics series DMZ, about a second civil war in the United States, situated in New York City, and following the footsteps of accidental journalist Matty.

I finished the first volume and working on the second one, there are five available to read for free in my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

 

For now, I am off to read.

(Y-12) Quarantined Days, Update 3

Another great day of reading, I had a total of 255 pages, which leaves 7,616 pages to reach 40,000.

I read 37 pages of Midnight Tides, hopefully, I can pick up the pace, and be finished with it by next weekend.

Also, I finished with the first volume of Coffin Hill, loved it, and fortunately, the next two volumes are available to read for free on my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

And finally, I read the last 4 issues, 9 to 12, of the amazing series of Aliens: Defiance, written by Brian Wood, if you are a fan of movies you should definitely pick this series or for that matter any Aliens series from Dark Horse, I recommend Aliens: Dead Orbit.

I plan to jump into the next volumes of Coffin Hill, read over 60 pages of Midnight Tides, throw some steaks on the grill, chase those down with some red wine, and have a perfect birthday celebration with my beautiful family.

For now, I am off to read.

(Y-12) Quarantined Days, Update 2

Another great day of reading is under my belt.

Yesterday’s total was 158 pages.

This was with 30 pages of Midnight Tides, the fifth volume of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, I am taking it really slow, it is a complex world, full of details and characters, especially the magical system.

I read the next four issues, 5 to 8, of Brian Wood’s series Aliens: Defiance, which takes place between the movies Alien and Aliens, it’s always creepy to see the xenomorphs skulking around for new prey.

Also, I started reading the first volume of a very promising series written by Caitlin Kittredge for Vertigo Comics, Coffin Hill, which is also available to read for free with my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

(Y-12) Quarantined day, or, how I’m trying to reach 40,000 pages

We have been extra careful with all the COVID-19 stuff, and this has meant that we have only gone out for really essential stuff like groceries, doctor’s appointments, or things we cannot do over the internet.

This means a lot of downtime for reading.

The situation in Mexico has not yet reached its peak point, so we have to keep on taking the same preoccupations, which according to the Secretary of Health it will probably be at the end of June, which means a summer spent behind closed doors, and on the backyard.

With this in mind, I have taken upon myself to reach 40,000 pages by the end of July.

Right now I am still 8,233 net pages away from doing it, here is an explanation on the meaning of net pages, and I plan to make daily updates of what I am reading and the total amount that I have chipped off my next challenge.

For now, I am off to read.
