sinéad's lifestream

Christmas was very good to me.

I’ve already flown through the latest Buffy graphic novel (which isn’t that good I’m sad to report) and am half way through “What The Dog Saw” by Malcom Gladwell (bedside reading, one chapter before bed each night, it’s wonderful). But below is the remaining books I have left to both start and finish.

Really looking forward to “And Another Thing…” as I have been re-reading the Hitch-hikers series to set myself up and I’m almost finished now. I’ve really enjoyed my forth read of the trilogy of five, fingers crossed for the sixth.

I’ve made myself a book inbox before, and I was delighted that other people followed suit. Would love to see what’s in your book inbox now.

Whilst doing a late Spring clean this evening I decided to finally organise my overflowing bookshelf – which earlier today consisted of 3 squashed and disheveled shelves of books, 1 shelf of music/games and 1 shelf of DVDS. So, I put all my music/games in storage, which has given me a 4th shelf for my books to finally breath. During this reorganisation, I made a pile out of the books that I’ve not had the chance to read yet (or started reading and put aside).

Since the start of the year I’ve been reading nothing but journal articles and books for college, and since college ended term I’ve been indulging in a lot of fiction (Jeff Lindsay and Kathy Reichs in particular – don’t read into that too much!) but every single time I’ve looked at these books on my shelf individually, I’ve wanted (very much!) to start reading them, I just lack that extra motivation.

To motivate myself to read them all – I’ve set them aside on one half of my new 4th shelf (which just happens to be at eye level), and I plan on making sure that I get through all of them by the end of the Summer. They won’t be joining their comrades until they are read, so it’ll be like a Book Inbox, currently 11 unread books, and since there is nothing worse than a full inbox, I’m hoping these will be read quite soon.
