Intended Reading (4th November)

[ironed_orchid]

What haven't you read (yet) this week?

We all have things we mean to read, but never quite find the time, whether it's a bunch of unopened tabs, or an ever growing pile of books by the bed.

What's on your to-be-read list this week?

And if you bumped something further down the queue, what did you read instead?

I overestimated my ability to get reading done last week, so I am still working through re-reading Midnight's Children, which I am enjoying very much, even if I am too tired to read more than a few pages most nights. I've also read a handful of short fics, and a few articles people linked to on social media.

So I still haven't started Ancillary Justice, but given my current attention span, it's probably best if I wait until this weekend.

I started reading Still Alice by Lisa Genova so I'll continue with that, and I'd also like to read some more short stories. Maybe some fic as well but mostly I'd just like to get into a routine with short stories.

Ever-expanding book collection in bag that is not actually expanding, more like. Also Kindle collection. :( Specifically I want to read The Copyright Thing Doesn't Work Here, the rest of Dwelling on the Threshold, and SOMETHING from the library.

I should be able to get some reading done tomorrow at the library, after I finish my homework but before I go to work. Hopefully due to the change in location I will not be sucked into the never-ceasing siren song of the Internet. (No water in my building tomorrow from before-I-wake-up to just-when-my-scheduled-work-day-begins. Thursday either. These are reasonable hours to shut off the water, as the nine-to-fivers are all at work, but.)

Anything from That Pile Over There. The one I've been ignoring while uni ate all my time.

I have the last Pratchett sitting by the bed unread

Bedside Table Book Mountain has not been touched for weeks. :(

Hi, I'm new here. I used to read a lot, but I had a baby in July, so I only do bite sized reading now. I'm hoping to finish Toxic In-Laws tomorrow so I can return it to the library when I pick up my next book.

Reading friend's NanoWrimo as they go. They send out each day's writing, and they want feedback -
and that takes energy and I am low on energy.

http://uncannymagazine.com/article/in-the-house-of-the-seven-librarians/ is a story in a library that I started and paused and want to get back to.

http://wilwheaton.net/2015/10/seven-things-i-did-to-reboot-my-life/ is a post I mean to read.

Meanwhile I started reading 'Got Your Number' by Sophie Kinsella instead, because fluff.
