True that!
I don't think I mentioned it in this thread. My theme is if Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a fairy tale according to Vladimir Propp's structural analysis of fairy tales :P

It is!
It is sometimes a little complicated and obscure though, but I wrote about 10 pages so far, need to have between 20-30, max 35. And I will need 35 xD

I finished "American Short Stories" and I am trying to read "The Great Gatsby" now. I started Gatsby with the Introduction, but it is 40+ pages long, so I stopped.

I am about to finish Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America. I HATE it. But I am still trying to do that library Bingo challenge, and I don't have time to give up on a book halfway through and find another one, so I have to trudge through!

I finished Hand to Mouth. I also tweaked my library Bingo card so that I won't have to lie much, if at all! I wrote that I read 5 books, which is one Bingo row. You can claim all five rows, but there is no way I can read that much and no way that I want to lie that much! I really did read 3 of the books that I am claiming to have read, I really did read them while this Bingo event was going on, and I am in the process of reading the other two now. I am about halfway through one of them but only just started the other. So, worst case scenario, when I turn in my card I will have finished the three and still be working on the other two. And, best case scenario, I will be done with all five.

Well done! Sounds like a plan :)

I guess I won't really read anything before I finish my exam, so in September next... But we'll see.

So I started doing the Goodreads Reading Challenges in 2015, I believe.
It was originally to encourage me to read more in my free time. <:

My 2017 goal is 15 books, but ...
I've only read two, omg.

Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur and To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han.
I really need to get to it. D:
