Welcome to Litsy!

I read my first graphic novel in #March. And it was also my first read along. Found two short volumes (one audio) that I managed to squeeze in at the last minute -- trying to increase my monthly total. Fortunately, both turned out to be really great reads. I'll try to do stats tomorrow. Total books read: 8. But this looks nothing like my TBR post at the beginning if the month. 🙄

TBR Wrap-up:
So, while I did read six books, they were not all from this stack. (See my wrap-up post.) Not bad at all. Things happen. Things change. One thing I must do is exercise restraint in requesting ARCs. Feedback deadlines impact how much attention I can give to my TBR. I didn't reach my target of 11 books; but, the upward 📈 trend, from 5.33 in January, tells me it was a good month. #Donna_sBookYear2017

Still modifying my tally sheet. I added the "Classics" category and still managed to read at least one book in each. As last month, I'm splitting the count of the same book in multiple categories so that it equals 1. Now that I've got the stats part down, I'll work on the graphic. Next, I need to manage my challenges. Read 6.3 books.

Favorite: "The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln"

My tally sheet is in the planning stages; but I did manage to read something from each category -- five books and one play. Two selections span two categories. So I counted each as .5 in both to make it total one book. The play is counted as .33 because there are two others in the book. I'll adjust the "ARC/Galley" category down by 1 and add a "Classics" category. Picking up the pace.

I read five books and one play in January. My favorite was, "The Book of Harlan" followed by "The Red Notebook." I'll note my backlogged reading as I get to it. But, of course, I've started on another. #Donna_sBookYear2017

IT'S LATE BUT WELL-PLANNED WITH LOTS OF WIGGLE ROOM
My 2017 reading plan has finally taken shape.
It is not genre-specific and will help me accomplish
current, backlist, and TBR goals. Monthly recaps
will focus on my list of broad categories and will
display how well I adhered to my reading plan.
My only genre-related goal is to read all 10 plays in
"August Wilson's Century Cycle." #Donna_sBookYear2017 #TBR
