They all were. There’s a LOT of down time at work and we work 12 hour shifts. Until this last one, the average length of this Stark books is 180-200 pages. It’s nothing to knock one of those out on a slow day.

Simple Torture wrote:So, one month in, how ya doing with your goals? Me:

Movies: 8/50, on pace for 72

Books: 4/50, on pace for 48

Albums: 12/75, on pace for 144

Etc.: 3/30, on pace for 36
I'm happy with where I'm at through the first month. I tried to get an early jump on movies this year. I don't watch a lot of movies, and I found myself scrambling in December to get to 50.

I read pretty voraciously now that I'm doing these challenges, so I'm confident in my ability to get to 50 books.
