Hiatus....again....

So, after a fairly successful summer and definitely productive last 2 weeks, I'm going on hiatus from this project again because....
a) I lack the motivation to read The Two Towers
b) I am in the middle of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and I need to finish that before anything else. (It's fantastic...a little slower to start than The Hunger Games or Catching Fire, but great nonetheless...if you haven't read those, YOU NEED TO!!)
c) This weekend I'm going out of town for a few days
d) School is starting again soon...blah

As a heads up, though, this fall I'm definitely going to read The Two Towers, and hopefully Return of the King, if there's time. Then I'm going to have a winter of Dickens to hopefully get a good chunk of that out of the way. I'm starting in November with Oliver Twist (because I know that story) and then A Christmas Carol in December. I'll spend January on Dickens too. In February (because of Valentine's Day, mostly, even though I am not a huge fan of that holiday) I'm going to read some Austen. I'll definitely read Pride and Prejudice and maybe Emma too. I'm hoping to get a chunk of that out of the way as well. Then next spring I can pick some that I think sound interesting, maybe get some that I've never heard of before. In the meantime, I'm going on hiatus until...
a) I finish Mockingjay
b) I feel motivated to read The Two Towers
c) I get back from my mini road trip
d) Life calms down and I have a "real" schedule and/or "real" free time
The end. This project is definitely more involved than I thought it would be when I started 6 months ago, but it's a good challenge, and a perfect opportunity to broaden the mind and fill up my bookshelf with impressive volumes.

Until next time....
