Yesterday was probably the most successful day of the whole week.

I completed the three tasks of the day, and to top it off the whole left from friday, read 200 pages from one book, which I believed to be one of the hardest to achieve, alongside read for 6 hours, which is part of today’s challenge.

14. Read 50 pages after midnight
15. Read 200 pages from one book
16. Read 2 printed graphic novels
17. Read for 4 hours
18. Read 500 total pages

Now let’s talk about yesterday’s challenge, for the two printed graphic novels I choose from a fairly new ground to me, Manga, right now I am trying to complete Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, the Spanish language edition, which are about 30 numbers, and I have 8 of them.

I read numbers 2 and 3, in which Guts, the knight with the gargantuan sword, fights forces from another plain, and some of his mysterious pass unravels, so far I am loving it, but fair warning, it’s not for the faint of heart.

Thanks this two great volumes, and a whole lot of reading from Reaper’s Gale, I could complete the other two tasks, read for 4 hours ,and read 500 total pages.

For today the wheel has in store the three remaining tasks.

• 

1. Read for 6 hours
2. Finish the current book (about 42 pages left)
3. Start a new book ( Robin Hobb’s Assassin series)

The day is set, and the perfect way to finish this very successful week.

And to get me over the 300 total pages, which again I barely got there with 304 pages, there were two amazing graphic novel.

Starting with th DC universe villains wrecking havoc all over the multiverse in Year of the Villain : Hell Arisen, we got to see Perpetua and The Batman who Laughs facing off.

The second graphic novel was Frank Miller’s futuristic noir story, Hardboiled, which follows an insurance adjuster, and along the ride are to legends in their own accord illustrator Geof Darrow, and colorist Dave Stewart, a gorey sci-fi ride with amazing detailed art.

The task of reading 50 pages in bed was the most challenging, for I am really hyperactive, and can seem to stay in one place.

The task of reading 2 hours was fairly easy , and the last, read 300 total pages, I just made it with a total of 301 pages.

I read about 52 pages of Reaper’s Gale, getting close to finishing, currently on page 726 of 1003.

Also, I read Tom Taylor’s Dceased, a great way tho incorporate Dark Seid’s Anti-Life equation and Zombies, it was a trill ride.

Lastly, I read the first issue of Green Lantern’s miniseries Black Stars, still in the helm the amazing Grant Morrison , who never disappoints.
