(Y-10) 90 days…scheming

Today I Finished what turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise, I’m of course talking of Lost at Sea by Bryan Lee O’Malley, it touches a few sensitive fibers, highly recommended.

With this book and the one finished last night by grand total for the year has surpassed the 21,000-page mark.

21,185 pages to be precise.

Day by day I am closing in on my total goal, and it gets me motivated.

This week my reading approach is going to be a bit different.

I am going to focus all of my efforts on finishing The Ghost King, and with this book, I’ll take a little break from the Legend of Drizzt saga to read a couple of books I had my eye on for quite some time, after this, I’ll resume my journey through Faerûn.

Tomorrow I will post my definite schedule for 24 in 48 readathon, and for my inaugural reading session I intend to start one of the books mentioned above, I’ll keep it a mystery for now.

I plan to have seven reading sessions along the weekend, each one will be focused on a particular theme and/or goal.

But the primary goal, besides having a great time doing one of the things I truly love, is to sum-up as many pages as humanly possible.

I am gearing up, gathering supplies and getting my eyes ready.

For now, I’ll get back to reading and scheme some more.

(Y-10) 91 days… keep at it.

Today’s morning was dedicated to reading the fantastic work of Scott Snyder and legendary artist John Romita Jr. on All-Star Batman.

Also I did a lot of procrastinating, with a few moments of reading my current book.

I’ll close out the day with some graphic novel action, this time in the form of Lost at Sea by Bryan Lee O’Malley, author and illustrator famous for the Scott Pilgrim series.

Well now back to it.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 92 days… recharge

I’ll take a few days to just relax and recharge and of course get ready for next weekend’s readathon.

I will be posting my reading plan, goals and schedule for this great event in the coming.

And yes, I will have different themes for each of the reading sessions.

But for now, I’ll enjoy my weekend retrieve and try to make some headway with a few graphic novels and my current book while enjoying this new delight I discovered while wandering.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 93 days… a very slow one.

Today was one of those rare days in which my need to binge watch a series overtook my desire to make headway with my reading.

But right now I’m getting the itch to read, which in can only mean that I’ll have a late night.

And for this type of situations, I’ll have to rely on my sweet friend Captain Crunch, you know, fuel for the fire.

Happy Readings

(Y-10) 94 days… more forward progress

The main goal for today was to finish my book, The Pirate King, and I am glad to inform that task it is done.

And because of this I am one step closer to my total page goal, right now that total sits at 20,835 pages.

I’ll try to keep this forward momentum going and in order to do this I’ll jump right into the next Legend of Drizzt book, The Ghost King, final book of the Transitions Trilogy.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 95 days…just chilling and reading

Today was a really relaxed day.

Did some reading, you know a bit of my book and a couple of graphic novels, the first two volumea of DC Comics Rebirth’s Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.

I was reminded why this book are so precious, pure Technicolor science fiction fun.

So with that my grand total for the year is now 20,439 pages.

I’ll close out the day with some more Drizzt action.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 96 days…a cloudy one.

Today was a really hectic day.

Between running around doing errands and the normal daily routine I did not have much time to read.

In between waiting, I squeezed some reading, little progress in the book and little progress on a digital graphic novel.

This time it was a compilation of the DC Comics works of extraordinary artist, Mike Mignola.

And to start things off with a bang, a story of the Phantom Stranger, just perfect for the style of Mr. Mignola.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more productive.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 97 days… some light reading.

This day has been devoted to making some headway with my book, The Pirate King, the twentieth of the saga of the Legend of Drizzt and the second in the story arc Transitions.

As always it is some great swashbuckling fun without sacrificing the depth and emotional development of the characters.

It is safe to say that the renegade Drow Drizzt Do’Urden is one of the most memorable fantasy characters ever created.

For now, I think I’ll close the day trying to reach the third part of the book and maybe squeeze in some Green Lantern action.

Happy Readings!!!

(Y-10) 98 days… regrouping

Well, as expected, my celebratory drinks got a bit out of hand, and let me just say that this morning was occupied mainly for regrouping.

Nothing some black coffee and greasy food could not fix.

It was a layer back kind of day.

Did some light reading on the Drizzt book and had the chance to finish The Squidder, a graphic novel by one of my favorite comic book artist, Ben Templesmith, squids all over the place, highly recommended.
