Entering the last day of this week of reading I find myself again lacking a lot of my goals.
I’ll power thru this day and see what comes out of it.
Now to read some of the Targaryen Family History
(Y-11) not so hot
(Y-11) close out with a bang
I have reached the halfway point of my goal for this week of reading.
So, I need to finish strong and read my ass off this weekend.
I shall start with my favorite comic book, Hellboy, volumes three and four.
That should boost my confidence.
Off to read.

(Y-11) some of today’s reading
Early this morning, while having my first caffeine injection of the day, I read the second volume of Hit-Girl’s solo series, this time she visits the great white north,Canada, which is consequently the native country of the writer of this volume, Jeff Lemire.
And at the helm of the art is the Argentinian illustrator Eduardo Risso.
As always Hit-Girl delivers a bloody good time.
The rest of the day went between planning and reading some of the Targaryen family history.
I’ll continue with the fifth volume of DC Comics Rebirth Batman, with the always impressive work of Tom King.
Off to read.

(Y-11) Working and reading
Right now, I am between reading and working on new sections for this blog.
The newest one will be a set of lists
The 100
In which, I’ll set out to read, in different genres, to start it will be fantasy, fiction and graphic novels.
100 books that have been floating around my head for a while, the difference in this new section is that it will contain not a review, but rather what stands out or what I find compelling about the book.
I have already started with my fantasy list.
Off to read.

(Y-11) 12 years to go
Today it officially marks the 12 years left notification until the deadline to achieve 1,000,000 pages.
This is because, today, I turn 38 years old.
And since the whole idea of this crazy project is to read that gargantuan amount before my 50th birthday, well there you go, the clock strike again, and I have only 12 years ahead.
Today I received some more awesome material to keep on piling up those numbers.
Three pretty cool new graphic novels
And to put the cherry on the cake, some awesome new kicks, one of my favorite things, besides books and coffee of course.
Brings me back to the days when I watch his airness dominate the court.
Now I’ll enjoy the last few hours of the day and read some more.

(Y-11) keep on trekking thru DC Comics
I finished reading the third volume of Hope Larson’s run on Batgirl, part of the Rebirth of DC comics universe.
Rekindling some old flames, I was greatly impress with this book, give it a chance, it will not disappoint.
Next, I’ll jump back into some Green Lantern action.
And with appearance of the New Gods, could it get any better.
Off to read.

(Y-11) finally… a numbers update
The end of my semester in my Master’s Degree was pretty hectic, so I did not have time to properly update my list and see how my year of reading was faring.
So here are my numbers right down the minute.
- Total pages for (Y-11) : 28,468 pages.
- Pages to next milestone (30,000 pages): 1,532 pages.
- Pages to the main goal of the year (53,000 pages): 24,532 pages.
- Pages to the second-best year of reading (32,149 pages): 3,681 pages.
- Pages to the best year of reading (47,705 pages): 19,237 pages.
- Pages to 500,000 : 238,505 pages.
I had some major leaps, but I am still 40 days behind schedule, but there is no time like the present to amend that.
On the front of reaching the coveted 500,000 pages, I had some great progress, I was able to close the gap, minus 53 days, which gives me a new ending date of February 23, 2029.
Still, it is too far into the future, but slowly the gap closes, before my next update and recalculation, I hope to jump into 2028.
But for that, I need to read, so on that note, is back to reading.

(Y-11) we are flying now.
I am coming off a 327 pages day.
And I feel energized.
Right now I have finished the second volume of Hope Larson run on Batgirl, in this particular volume she confronts the son of the Penguin, and maybe a new super villain will raise from his shard remains, I’ll gave to wait and see.
I’m working on the update of my list, so I’ll know what is the final total of pages read.
Have I crossed the 27,000 pages mark?
I guess will see.

(Y-11) no numbers update in a while
I just realized that I haven’t post any if my general or this year’s total numbers in quite a bit.
And with a couple of days until my limit date to achieve 27,000 pages for this year, I’ll better update my lists.
You’ll never know, maybe I have already crossed that milestone.
We will see tomorrow.
