Here are my goals:

  • Post once a day. -- Completed
  • Review all books read. -- Reviewed the two finished books
  • Check in on and comment on at least 5 other participants. -- Read a lot, but didn't comment

Tentative reading list:

  • Have Spacesuit Will Travel -- Robert Heinlein (Science Fiction)
  • Ringworld -- Larry Niven (Science Fiction, 2011 With a  Twist)
  • A Matter of Class - Mary Balogh (Summer Romance Historical)
  • Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card (Science Fiction, 2011 With a Twist) -- In progress
  • Brave New World - Aldous Huxley (2011 Back in the Day, A to Z Author X)
So I didn't complete my goals.  And really my hours reading were fairly low.  But compared to the last week, I got a lot accomplished.  Moving and adjusting to a new schedule, city, way of life has been a bit of a challenge.  I have been motivated to do things for the house and find a job, not to read.  Hopefully this challenge encourages my reading patterns.  I am enjoying Ender's Game and hope to finish in the next two days. I did have fun doing the mini challenges and reading everyone else's update posts.  A partial success in my book.  Now back to my regularly scheduled posting...
