I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy see everyone's version of these features! If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back!
I am participating in the Amazon affiliate program, so if you click on any of the book covers it will take you to Amazon if you want to buy the book. I will be getting a small fee for each purchase.
On The Blog:
Monday: Bay Area Book Events # 78
Tuesday: ARC Review: Chainbreaker by Tara Sim
I think I am back on track with my books! I finished up my Goodreads reading goal of 144 books for 2017, getting the last one finished at 11pm on New Years Eve. I cut that one close, so I am scaling down my book challenge for 2018 by setting a goal of 120 books for the year. I think I can do this reasonably without stressing out. I need to find a way to make time to exercise and getting to and from the gym will cut into my reading time (even using audio books).
I do have several ARCs to finish for the month, but they are all books I am really looking forward to reading, so I am a happy reader.
In Real Life:
I've been having a few health issues so I had to see the doctor this week, and get some meds. It seems I am clenching my jaw and it has caused lots of headaches and pain. I need to find better ways to relax and also to hold myself as I read. The side that hurts is the side I usually lean on while reading. Who knew reading could be hazardous?
New Books:
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 2016 presidential campaign...
That's it for this week. I hope the year started out well for all of you. Happy reading.
Nice! Hope you enjoy the new read!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Congrats on finishing your reading challenge! I have a teeth clenching problem, too. Sleeping with a nightguard has helped a little, but I don’t know what to do about clenching during the day. That’s still a problem. Enjoy your new book!

Congratulations on finishing your 2017 challenge! I didn't participate in 2017 but in 2016 I did finish my goal with minutes to spare so for 2017 and 2018 I decided not to set a number and just read whatever I want. I hope your health issues get resolved soon! I've been wanting to pick up the Hilary Clinton book for sometime now. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

Congrats on achieving your goals. I think 2018 should be as low pressure as you can make it. Hope the meds help. I've been having some arm/neck pain and have to be careful about how I sit when I read and work. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFinishing your goal with an hour to spare - that is close! I set mine really low and usually hit it in the summer since I hate stress. I hope your meds work for you. Have a great week!
