Wednesday Intended Reading Post

Or: what DIDN'T you read 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?

no joke for me, at all. i have piles of books and piles of time in which to read them... but on the very few occasions i do actually motivate myself to pick one up, i then have to battle handcramp (from keeping it open) and the rapid onset of sleepiness (from, i dunno, something), so that while i feel like i've achieved something when i get to the end of one, i'm not that keen to repeat the experience. which wouldn't be so bad if i didn't know myself to have been capable, at my best, of chugging through three books (well, about 750 pages) a day.

I read the seventh Harry Potter in about two hours the night it came out, having blasted through the previous six in the two days prior to the big release party--which were work days iirc. I have read...fifteen books in 2015? (do I have a tag something like 'book log' or 'reading challenge log'? that should go to an up-to-date post.) That's not even one a week.

So yeah. I feel you.

I stand corrected: Twenty books so far this year. Exactly one a week. Still not many.
