Maybe you should think about taking some vitamins then?

You know, I have some fancy ones I picked up when I picked my nephew up some more for my sister a while back (they are expensive!) and I keep forgetting to take them. I should probably just leave the bottle on the counter to remember.

I read a few pages of "decameron" with a friend but that's all. changed my challenge from 15 to 5 because I can always change it back if things get better. right now work is just too demanding. can't say that I don't have any time at all but I feel guilty for not being productive and wasting the energy on deciding what to read. it's also not helping that I still haven't reviewed "uprooted". as if my brain needs another reason for guilt *eyeroll* sooooo 5 books might be quite a challenge this year

I can't even remember my goal

I think it was 12 but maybe I've changed it to 10? Not sure.
Haven't read for a few days due to moving from my grandma's to a new place. Two days of packing and two of unpacking and I'm dead

hopefully tomorrow I'll take up reading again.

My goal is 15, but thinking of going down to 12. I'll decide in June if I'm going to stick to my 15 book goal. Not like it's a big difference, but if I start another book that's not really interesting and spend a whole month on, then I don't want to feel like I'm behind on my goal.

Alice, that's a good idea, you can always go back to 15 :) But make a reasonable goal than a high one :)
I can imagine with work being demanding - you have to go digital, too, right?
I am almost done with book Nr 4 for this year. I think I might read something by Stephen King next. I thought some books are amazing and some pretty slow, so let's hope for the best.

yea and with a mutual hatred between me and ilias it's an unmerciful challenge for my problem-solving skills. I'm being tested and tested in an unforgiving way [insert a dramatic smiley here]
I mean I don't have to, strictly speaking. but I'd appreciate the money very much so...
good news: if anyone's trying to read a complicated text and it's not working - it's because our brain doesn't want complicated things when it's stressed. nothing's wrong with us! yay!

I FINISHED THE PINK MOUSE

I stand by my opinion: it was nonsensical yet genius in its nonsense.
I'm glad it's over XD
