Now that NaNoWriMo is over, boy do I have a lot of editing to do. And reading to catch up on. I might have finished 1 or 2 books during the entire month of November because I was so focused on writing and school.

I’m currently at 79/90 books for this year. And I kind of want to reach that goal. I did not read 75 books last year (I got to 70 books). I used to do 100+ a year but I also wasn’t in grad school and read a lot more manga and YA lit. I don’t really read much of either of those genres any more. Occasionally, I do but nowhere near as much as I used to. I’ve mostly been leaning more into classic lit, nonfiction, and historic fiction lately.

#also only pieces of books were assigned for my class so I did not finish a single book for school #like short stories and essays instead of full length novels #and I haven't listened to any audiobooks since around Halloween #the last audiobook I listened to was Carmilla #yes the lesbian vampire girlfriend one but she's also evil so oops #but a man wrote it in the 1800s so I suppose I could not expect better #I'm about a fifth of the way through Well of Loneliness and I'm waiting for my copy of Stone Butch Blues to come in the mail #also I could easily finish the two Virginia Woolf books that were partially assigned for class #since I'm doing my paper on her Hall and probably Ford it cannot hurt #and maybe James Joyce's Dubliners #since I had to read about half of it any way #but fuck Ulysses I'm not reading that whole book one chapter was more than enough #it's almost 700 pages and I'm noping out of that real fast #but I found something to torture students with in the future (I'm kidding I wouldn't make anyone else read it)#if I ever get to be an English prof I'm going to pick books I'd actually want to read (if I have the power to choose)#bookblr #writeblr #books #currently reading #2022 reading goals #I could be wrong and purposely read a bunch of short books just to hit the goal XD #I have a month #my chatter #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2022 #grad school
