The first quarter of the year will be done in about a half-hour! (I know, how’d that happen?) So I’m curious to see how I’ve done on my Crazy 2012 Reading Plans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I posted about this at the start of March<\/a>, but it’s simpler to just summarize my total progress for the year. In March, I attended my first Capitol Choices<\/a> meeting, so I spent a couple weeks trying to catch up on the books we’d be talking about, thus interrupting my Plan. Here are my new totals:<\/p>\n

Rereads: 3
\nMy Books: 3
\nNew Library Books: 3
\nAward Winners: 3
\nPrepub ARCs: 3
\nOlder Library Books: 3
\nBooks for Capitol Choices: 6
\nBooks for Heavy Medal Shortlist: 2
\nBooks for School Library Journal’s Battle of the Books<\/a>: 3
\nBook read before meeting author: 1
\nBook to read along with Liz B<\/a>: 1
\nNonfiction: 7
\nShorter Books (in between books of Plan): 4
\nChildren’s Nonfiction: 3
\nAudiobooks: 4<\/p>\n

Not too bad. I’d like to be a lot further on my Reading Plan, but my grand total is 52 books, which is pretty good for one-fourth of the year. <\/p>\n

I’ve written 40 reviews so far this year, which explains why I’m still behind. I will definitely have to be more willing to skip reviewing some books.<\/p>\n

This weekend, I was trying to participate in Bloggiesta, but alas! I was feeling really dizzy, so I slept late and<\/em> took a long nap. I did get three reviews written, Frankenstein<\/em> and a nonfiction book finished, posted this, posted a review, posted a Sonderquotes entry, made supper, and played a game of Dominion with my son. But now I need to get to bed and hope I’ll have a little more time for it tomorrow. Oh, I also tried to upgrade the blogs, but first I have to upgrade my data bases, and Yahoo (my host) kept giving an error when I tried to do that. I will try again some time this week (when I don’t mind the site being down for awhile) and send them an e-mail if I keep running into trouble. And I did attend today’s Twitter Party before I got too tired and took a nap. I have done a total of 4 comments, so I will have to get really busy tomorrow if I want to complete that mini-challenge.<\/p>\n

But, remember: This is all for FUN<\/em>! So no pressure! I will see what I can do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
