Reading My Height in Books #5

Hello!

It is time for an update on my challenge. I must admit this month I have been getting quite excited about how high the pile has been growing, I almost thought it was at half way. However, when I took the picture I soon realised my mistake. My darling husband has worked out a way of counting the digital books I read. Amazon lists the dimensions of physical books, so I can use the dimensions off Amazon to work out the height of the stack with the digital books as well. I will work this out and include them in next month’s total.

I read 4 physical books in May and thankfully some of them were quite thick books.

So here is the new pile.

The new pile is exactly 24 inches high. Just 43 inches to go!

Here are the pictures from January, February, March and April.

Happy Reading!

Reading My Height in Books #4

Hello!

Yes, it is that time again, it is time for the monthly update of Reading My Height in Books. I keep plodding along hoping I will manage the challenge but I will be honest, I’m already behind on my Goodreads challenge and know full well that time is my biggest problem.

I read 5 books in April and they were all physical books so that has helped the height. So here is the new pile.

The new height is 18.5 inches just 48.5 inches to go!

Here are the pictures from January, February and March.

Happy Reading!

The Weekly Brief

Hello!

Firstly, my apologies for not posting this yesterday. I will be honest I have been struck down with my asthma and I haven’t been up to much apart from wheezing and coughing. However, the doctors have put me on a course of steroids today so fingers crossed things improve soon. Now I just have to deal with a very foggy brain that I get when on the steroids.

Anyway, here is what happened on the blog last week.

Posts this Week

As you can see a rather quiet week for me.

Currently Reading

I finished the second one of these books today so will be starting the third one later. So far I have really enjoyed reading about Maigret.

No books bought this week sadly but then I haven’t been doing very well on my reading so buying new books isn’t a good idea.

Happy Reading.

I went on a little book buying splurge when I preordered some books. I’ve seen so many good reviews of Lore so I can’t wait to read it.

Reading My Height in Books #3

Hello!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter weekend. I have had a lovely day today reading and going for a walk in the sunshine.

So I thought it was high time for an update on my Reading My Height in Books. I still haven’t worked out whether to include my digital books somehow. I only read one digital in March and it was only 159 pages so not too much of a loss. Thankfully, I managed to read four physical books so that has added to the height of the pile. I have also realised I need to store said pile as it grows through the year so it looks like it will have to hide in a corner of our living room.

So here is the pile!

For some reason I am not looking at the camera but I have never been any good at having my picture taken.

The pile is now at 13.5 inches just 53.5 inches left to go!

Here are the pictures from January and February as you can see progress is going rather slowly.

Hopefully, I can get some more books read this month!

Happy Reading.

March 2021 Wrap Up

Hello!

Happy April Fool’s Day everyone. I hope none of you have succumbed to an April Fool’s joke today.

March was a better month for me reading wise, which was good, but I fear April will not be so good due to assignments again but I live in hope.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My week has been unusually busy with work and I must admit I am rather out of practice and found myself rather worn out today with a migraine.

So here is my reading uodate.

What I am Currently Reading

I’ve read 50 pages so far and I am throughly enjoying it. Any book which starts with “Old bean” always promises to be a good read.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I absolutely loved this book and will be reading the next in the series soon. Review to follow shortly.

What I think I will Read Next

There are so many books I want to read at the moment I never know what to read next but I think it will be one of these.

So there is another WWW Wednesday.

Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.
