I finished the 12th and final book of my #24in48 challenge after about 24h15m. And looking around at all the incomplete chores that piled up this weekend... I think this might be my one and only readathon. On the plus side, I made some serious TBR progress, which is great since it seems like I've had 0 time to read for the first half of this crazy year.

Finished up book 11 for my #24in48 almost exactly as I hit 21 hours. Here's hoping I can finish one more around 6:30pm and make it #12for24in48... because maths.

Finished up book 10 of my #24in48 at my hour 19. I figured I could maybe finish two more if I chose strategically, so next up is another recommended to me by my wife that isn't 500 pages

Finished Fresh Romance Vol 2, which isn't listed on Litsy yet, as Book 9 of my #24in48. 17 hours in and starting my first novel of the day on a recommendation from my wife.

Finished up graphic novel no 2 for #24in48. One more and I'll probably be awake enough to focus long enough to read a prose book!

First book of a graphic novel run down for Book 7 of my #24in48.

I finished up book 6 about 2 am and about 15.5h into my #24in48. Exactly as thought-provoking as I expected and wanted. Following up now with something much quicker and much lighter to accompany breakfast.

Finally finished book 5 for my #24in48 after 13.5 total hours. Hopefully I've picked a faster read for book 6. It's definitely a heavier book.

A little more than 1/3 of the way through my #24in48, and the part of my brain that thinks I should be productive is feeling this.

Moving away from demons for Book 5 in my #24in48... but I think I'm sticking with the "sociopaths" theme...

25% into my #24in48 and well into what I'm now thinking of as my Dark Arc. Maybe I should pick a less demony book after this one, mix it up a little....

Having finished book 3 of my #24in48, on to book 4. From a local author to an author I've listened to (on the Writing Excuses podcast) for years but whose books I've yet to read.

A favorite video game of mine, so I had to finally read the manga as book 2 of my #24in48. Next up is a book I picked up after meeting the author at a writing class at a local library.

Started off the 24in48 with a new book. 1:30 in and one down! Maybe this will finally get me caught up on my reading goal for this year!

Also, seriously, read this book.

In the spirit of not giving a crap about Secret Empire, I took advantage of some #fcbd sales to pick up some hopefully GOOD Captain America trades. #failhydra

Oh how @Carol is going to hate how I spent my day. Better get Aida all leveled up! 😈

Communication is important.

She-Hulk: Time Trials. She's burning through the sky. Yeah.

Hey! Hey, listen!

You've gotta stop spending your rupees on new books until you read the old ones!

Don't play silent protagonist games with me!

"How did I spend my weekend? Oh, I just rolled up the same character in like 8 different systems to get a feel for them."

I couldn't completely get into this book. As a Natasha Romanova novel, I wasn't that into it. I didn't feel like it really nailed the Black Widow character. As a spy thriller novel, I didn't feel like it nailed the necessary pacing or the plot complexity, even for a YA book. And the writing for the action scenes didn't really describe scene or setting well enough to put me into the scene the way a cinematic action scene should.

My current physical TBR, not counting comics or my technical books. I WILL clear this out this year... somehow... maybe.

I enjoyed the first book despite a few issues, and I felt much the same about this sequel. There were definitely times I felt the story dragged a little, and I could point out a few other things that bothered me a little. Even so, this is one of the best Sherlock Holmes-inspired storylines I've seen out of the many that crossed my shelf in the past 18 months, and overall I quite enjoyed the book.

Out of all of the directly Holmes-inspired books @carol brought in last year, this might be my favorite. It's darker than I expected for a book she'd recommended, but I found it to be well written and one of the more original takes on the Sherlock Holmes genre.

I'm often the lame guy playing the paladin in the D&D group, so I'm a sucker for a good Superman or Captain America arc. This compilation is definitely dated in various ways, but if you're into the core conceit, I think it's worth a read.

This has been sitting on my TBR shelf for a long while. Do I dare read it and risk the shelf growing two more in its place?

I might be favorably biased toward books like this because I'm always looking for idea seeds for the campaign I'm running. This is exactly the type of book I need sometimes, something I can just steal and remix ideas from for my own world. It's probably best for people just starting a campaign or campaign arc, but if you're looking for deeper "monsters" in your campaign, this has some great starting points.

Today's picture represents something like 1/3 of my comic book backlog... not including the 4 or 5 old trades I picked up on sale this past weekend.

How I feel when I have to go to work at 4:30 AM.

Comic Book Day! Now I just need a break from running D&D sessions so I have time to read them....

"Why are you even here?"
*mutters* "Because I was in the comic."
"What?"
"Nothing!"

While not as hotly anticipated by me as a full Iron Druid book, I really enjoyed this light novella. Maybe even more per word than a full novel since Oberon and Atticus's conversations are usually my favorite part of the books.

Maybe it was just due to listening to 3 episodes of Welcome to Night Vale yesterday, but I read this in Cecil's voice.

I started in on this because of Archer's crossover appearances in Faith. I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this weird mystical Armageddon Illuminati story that seems delightfully lacking in completely sane characters. I'm looking forward to picking up more, and I'm glad there are plenty more waiting already.

Picked up DC's Raven #1 on a whim last week little knowing it contained my new catch phrase.

Thanks to the wife's bookstore run today, I now have some new Eclipse Phase sourcebooks. Now I just need to finish the D&D game I'm running so I have time to try them out!

They call me Doctor Bird. Good morning, how are you? I'm Doctor Bird.

Now that I don't have to wrestle the iPad away from my wife, I can try out Litsy myself! Here's what happens when I get a week behind in comics (not counting the digital ones....).
