Today marks 21 days with 100 pages or more per day.

Don’t want to jinx it so I’ll just say that much.

Right now I’m working on a couple of things. On the book front my time is solely placed on the ninth book of the Legend of Drizzt saga, The Siege of Darkness, and let me tell you it has not let up. Truly and amazing work of fantasy.

On the graphic novel front I finish a couple of stories from French publishing house Delcourt, Druids, and Elves, and currently working on Batman: Elseworlds, this ragtag collection of Batman in alternative universes is a true delight for every fan of the Dark Knight.

And on my perpetual quest to find new reading material I stumbled upon some graphic novels and one highly coveted book from a local writer.

Tomorrow I’ll post some images from my progress on my bullet journal and a new challenge, the 24 in 48 readathon

But more on that tomorrow.

Happy Readings!!!

Right now my reading is going through a good stretch.

I’m sitting on 11 continuous days with 100 or more pages read per day.

My goal is to maintain this good streak for at least 100 days, which will be until April 22 of this year.

Maybe in this period I’ll hit another of my coveted landmark, a 500 page day.

For now I will get back to reading the eight book of the Legend of Drizzt saga and maybe start the third volume of the super cool graphic novel Saga.

Happy Readings!!!

And after 80 days I finally finished with Lord of the Rings. This is the third time, and hopefully not the last one, that I have read it.

This part of what makes this book great, the meticulous mythology behind everything.

So, right now I’m sitting on 246 pages for the day and 464 total for the two days of epicness. I’ll focus on The Legacy, seventh book of the legend of Drizzt saga, and The Fall of Cthulhu graphic novel.

My estimation is that the graphic novel will be done before midnight and the book will have less than 100 pages to go.

I’m picking up the pace and loving it.

Happy Readings!!!

Right now I’m sitting on 118 pages.

As soon as the kids settle down I’ll switch gear and dedicate a couple of hours to Lord of the Rings and The Fall of Cthulhu.

I’ll reach the 300 page mark by midnight.

I’ll check in tomorrow morning to see what is in store for the day.

Happy Readings!!!

Well here I am, two weeks into the new year and not quite catching a good reading rithym.

A few things had change in the past weeks and let just say that my available reading will grow exponentially.

On a positive note, I just completed my Legend of Drizzt collection and are ready to dwell with the legendary drow.

For now I’ll pound away at Lord of the Rings and The Halfling’s Gem, hopefully I will be done with both of them by the weekend. Which, consequently, will be the perfect opportunity to announce by new plans for the future of Lost in a million pages.

Happy Readings!!!

After a few days of relaxing, eating and drinking is now back to the daily grind.

But first, let me go back a few days while I was still on vacation.

The last outing of this great trip was to the magical town of Tequila, Jalisco.

As the name obviously gives it away it is the birthplace of one of Mexico’s most emblematic spirit.

The visit consistent of a tour to one of the many tequila distillers, La Cofradia,  were you firstly get acquainted with the agave plant, the basis of it all, the cooking process, the fermentation, the aging process and of course lots of sampling, including, a 55 proof tequila, pure and strait.

After a couple of hours of strolling around this gorgeous place I went to the downtown area, keep on drinking and eating. Quite the magnificent day I’ll say.

Now back to the reading part, my plans for my vacation reading was not what I expect, but who cares it was really soothing.

I manage to finish two book of the Legend of Drizzt saga and read about 1/3 of the Fall of Cthulhu graphic novel.

So this gave me the following numbers:

Total pages for (Y-10) : 5.002 pages

Total pages left for (Y-10) : 91,764 pages

Total books left for (Y-10): 46 books

I’ll get back to reading and flirting with the idea of a 100 book year.

Happy Readings!!!

As I predicted things have been moving at snail pace and I’m loving it.

In the morning, the usual ritual ensues, coffee and reading, then the day really starts, some have been totally relaxed and others have been filled with visits to cool places.

This past two days have been the latter version.

First I had finally the chance to visit Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento, this really cool neo-gothic church.

It’s building started on 1897 by the famous Italian architect Adamo Boari and wasn’t finish for another 75 years.

A rare style to be found in Mexico and an impressive building to visit.

From there we headed to one of our favorite spots in Guadalajara, Hospicio Cabañas, a cultural center which houses a series of impressive mural by the famous Mexican painter José Clemente Orozco.

I’ll let the murals do the talking.

More that impressive, these is a place you could sit for hours and take in every detail and still find yourself needing more time.

Also walking around the area in and around the Hospicio Cabañas you can find and all sort of cultural and historical things that baffle the mind.

On the second day we went to Lake Chapala, this massive body of water covers 420 square miles and is the largest fresh water lake in all of the country.

On the books front I’m pleased to inform that the first book, The Crystal Shard, in my reading plan for this vacations is under my belt and the second one is well underway.

Today I’ll take it easy, for tomorrow the magical town of Tequila awaits me, and I have a feeling that things are about to get blurry.

Happy Readings!!!

Finally, my long awaited holiday break is in full swing.

I plan to read a lot and equally eat a lot.

I’ll post some updates from my visits to the second largest city in Mexico.

Back in Juarez, I left the Lord of the Rings on hold, with about 400 pages to go, and plan to finish it on the first week of the year.

Right now I started with the long Saga of the dark elf ranger extraordinaire, Drizzt, a 30 book journey that was long overdue.

I’ll throw a few digital comics here and there and flirt with the idea of reading 100 books in one year, but that is a topic for after my vacation.

Happy Readings and Happy Holidays
