February Reading Update

For February, I read 15 books.

12 were mangas / comics.

1 was a graphic novel.

2 were novels.

I'd yell at myself for not reading more novels, but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Sometimes my brain wants less words and more pretty pictures and clearly depicted scenes without wasting time trying to visualize stuff.

Let's see how many books I read for March. I should dig into my Humble Bundle collections. I know I have a bunch of digital books there.

Quick reading challenge update - I've read a lot of books this year and it's only May. Like we just got to May.

So while I'm in a bit of a writing drought, at least I've been reading a lot to grow and inspire ideas.

With amazing timing, I've completed my goal of 10 books for the month.

6 out of 10 books were actual novels. The other 4 were mangas. I'm trying to limit my manga / comic / graphic novel consumption this time around. I just felt like I was padding out my total for last year.

Every book I read this month was a recent purchase. For next month, I'm going to try reading something from my backlog. I'm implementing a new rule - a book can only be read if it's existed in my backlog for at least a 3 months.

Let's see how February goes now.
