"It is likely that I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read." – Lemony Snicket
DOING A MASTERS IS HARD OK. Especially when you have mental and chronic illness issues that sometimes make you sleep a Lot and have little energy for things.

February was a mess. Busy, but a mess. I had assignments due in the first week-ish and then at the end of the second week I was off for 10 days for my reading week to visit the US. And then when I got back it was all a blur and then it was March…!! I didn’t really read in Feb so I’m just combining the two months in one post…
Gotta say, I’m starting off 2017 quite strong reading wise. YAY ME!!!!
My reading for September has been SHOCKING… Just 3 books… I’m so ashamed of myself… I’ve been so busy but, still…
Oh August. What a weird month you’ve been.
I landed in the UK on the 3rd and then got sick like a day later from ye olde Travellers Flu/Cold. Which then lasted something around 2 weeks. But I powered through that and even went to the Nine Worlds convention, in which I also was part of a Star Trek roundtable!!!
And when I FINALLY RECOVERED, I spent the weekend up in Edinburgh visiting some friends! Which was of course super gr8, but as soon as I got back to England I got sick. AGAIN. And that has taken me about a week to recover from. Which of course was SUPER.
Did I mention I also got my phone stolen OUT OF MY HAND within the first week of being back in the UK? Thanks August. That was… Interesting.
So this is late and I know that. BUT I HAVE SOME VERY GOOD EXCUSES!!!
4 EXCUSES IS GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
This month I decided to change things around a bit and focus a bit more on reading graphic novels and comics that I’ve had piling up for AGES, but never got around to reading. Some of which were ‘given’ to me by Net Galley in return for a review. Which is always a fun surprise, seeing as I usually haven’t heard of them!
[img src: unknown]NET GALLEY MAN. What a wonderful website.
YOU LIKE READING?? YOU CAN WRITE HOW YOU FELT ABOUT WHAT YOU READ?!

And yes, they do have comics too. Which makes my heart sing. So here is the first part of a bunch of comics from Diamond Books had released on NetGalley for review!!

So. April. It has come and gone… WASN’T MARCH LIKE, YESTERDAY!?!?
HOW DID WE GET HERE SO FAST????
I guess it really is true that time starts zipping by the moment you turn 20…
This month has been crazy tiring work wise and THEN I got sick and spent a bit of time in hospital, and as all chronic illness kids know, is the fun place to be.
I did manage to read a shit load more than I thought I would which is awesome!! I’m even past the half way point for my 40 book reading goal for the year!!!
Although my new mini goal is to try and read at least half of the books that I currently own before I head back to the UK for my masters in the fall. Which is actually a lot of books as well. So uh, that should prove to be an interesting challenge…
