OH HEY everyone. I'm back from my food coma. It was pretty great and also warm. ALSO PUPPIES! I will have a post with puppy pictures soon though I'm going to apologize right now at the small number of puppy pictures. Apparently I have used up ALL the space on my phone and I spent some time deleting songs (no, but I NEED all 1500 of these songs on me at all times because what if I need the Grease soundtrack at a moment's notice, HOW CAN YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE?) to get more space but yeah, there are limited pictures. Perhaps I can convince the family to send up some additional ones.ANYWAY November reading. I did better than I thought, but that's only because I thought I did really really badly. So, hooray for low expectations?

So I read more pages than I assumed by that variety is pretty pathetic. Ugh. I don't know how much better December will be since I'm currently making my way through the third Game of Thrones book*, A Storm of Swords and that book is roughly eleventy-billion pages and while they go relatively quickly, that's still a lot of Martin-land. Maybe January will be better.
*Yes, I KNOW it's really A Song of Ice and Fire series but since that name is stupid and everyone knows GoT, that's what I'm going with.
Logging you in...

I'm just gonna stay tuned for any puppy photos you might be able to share. They don't have to be North Carolina Thanksgiving Puppy photos. Just sayin'.
Your December page count will be WAY high because of the Game of Thrones book. (obviously this is how people should refer to them).

I'm pretty sure I started tracking pages read after reading the first GoT book (you know, the one actually called GoT) cos I was sad I had read so few books and wanted credit for ALL THE PAGES.

Did you mention the Collector during the minithon? I remember someone mentioning it recently and I purchased a copy to read for myself (I could probably search this down for myself but laaaaaazy).
A Storm of Swords was published in two halves in Australia because of that eleventy billion page issue. I actually can't comprehend how anyone can physically hold that book if it isn't split up because the two halves were HUGE.

I haven't even attempted physical copies of any GoT books. I don't care if I can find them cheaper that way, I'm going ecopies for those.
