Looking back at last month, I’m feeling pretty accomplished for my first month of blogging! Not only did I get my site all set up (thank you again, Monika), but I also managed a very good reading month with six books…
and three posted reviews:
Experiment In Terror series by Karina Halle
Of Things Gone Astray by Janina Matthewson
But, more important than the books I read or the posts I published, I’m just so glad to be enjoying reading again. Getting my Master’s degree has been a very rewarding yet trying experience. I sacrificed pleasure reading (among other things) whilst I churned out literature reviews and progress notes, and, towards the end, I was rather frazzled. And though I may not yet be done with it all, what’s left leaves me with a more flexible schedule and more time for me. The time I spent reading have been very healing for me, and it’s been great to share my thoughts with you, readers!
July may be a little lighter on the pleasure reading as I attempt to complete the first draft of my thesis. Currently, I’m working on the last book in The Hollow series by Kim Harrison, and I just picked up The Martian by Andy Weir. I’m also planning to read something a little spacey in preparation for the arrival of New Horizon at Pluto (which will always be a planet in this house). What are your plans for July?
Pluto is a planet here, too! 😉 I’m glad you’re finding enjoyment reading time again. And you’re welcome, I’m happy to help anytime, but you seem to have the hang of things!
(Oh and uhhh don’t start The Martian if you have anything that MUST get done.)
So happy that your first month of blogging has gone off so splendidly, writing and reading both! As someone who’s about to embark on the journey of a master’s (or, at least, applying for it), it comforts me to know I won’t have to give up my books entirely! Best of luck with your thesis. 🙂
