Hi everybody!
Focus, is the mother of success. My own words!! Lol!
Last month I decided to focus on 1 book and finish it before I follow my previous habit of multiple books at once.
It worked.
This is how I progressed.
Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits by James Clear
Progress: 104 of 298 pages
I’ve completed the 1st law of the journey in developing habits.
The Magician’s Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia #1) by CS Lewis
Progress: 202 of 202 pages COMPLETED!
And now I know how Narnia was created, how Jadis ended up in Narnia and how the animals became talking and thinking creatures. It bugged me since the 1st time I watched the movies where all of this started. Loved this little book and I look forward to reading the 2nd book. Maybe next month…
Women Who Love Too Much: When You Keep Wishing and Hoping He’ll Change by Robin Norwood
Progress: 314 of 314 pages COMPLETED
This has been one of the most helpful books I’ve read in a while on my journey of healing. What a gem. I actually did a semi-bookreview of it too
The House at Pooh Corner (Winnie the Pooh #2) by AA Milne
Progress: 180 of 180 pages COMPLETED
I love Pooh! And I actually wiped a tear away at the end.
Did you hear that a Pooh movie was released? To celebrate Pooh coming into the public domain?
And I’m outraged!!! It’s a HORROR!!!! To make it worse, this is exactly the little book in which Christopher Robin goes away…
Here’s a trailer if you haven’t seen it…
Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most by Greg McKeown
Progress: 26 of 256 pages
Hubby took this book with him on his travels so I will continue when he finishes.
Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs
Progress: 190 of 190 pages COMPLETED
This is a fabulous bundle of short stories. I’m so happy I finally completed this book. The stories are fantastical.
If I have to choose a story, it would be difficult. The Locust is sweet and The Woman Who Befriended Ghosts is enduring. Then there’s The Man Who Bottled the Sun which is a bit like an Aesop’s Fable with a gnarly theme.
It’s absolutely in the same imaginative style of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Rigs. Although this bundle of tales were authored by Millard Nullings, one of Miss Peregrine’s students.
Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight V Swain
Progress: 26 of 317 pages
No progress
GMC: Goal, Motivation and Conflict: The Building Blocks of Good Fiction by Debra Dixon
Progress: 33 of 116 pages
No progress
Prayer: The Art of Believing by Neville Goddard
Progress: 56 of 304 pages
This book is also available in pdf here. Consume it in audio by Brian Scott on YouTube if you prefer.
This book is kinda on repeat through the YouTube version by Brian Scott. It’s a good book.
How to Write A Novel Using the Snowflake Method by Randy Ingermanson
Progress: 24 of 211 pages
This is a writing craft book that I learned about a few years ago. I’ve worked through blogposts and videos about this method of plotting, planning and outlining a book but didn’t quite get it right. So I decided to actually READ the book.
And what a joy! This book is so cute but I’m actually understanding how to do it now.
To practice this method, I’m using it to rewrite the 4th novelette in my Cape of Good Hope series. It would actually then be a brand new story I’ll be adding to my Blog A Story project here on my website.
In closing…
What are you reading?
Have you read any of these books?
I hope to finish more books this month.
Until next time, thank you for reading.
