LASHAAN’S GOODREADS 2017 READING CHALLENGE PROGRESSION
TRANG’S GOODREADS 2017 READING CHALLENGE PROGRESSION
LASHAAN
Lashaan: I had this wise math teacher back in high school that once told me similar words as I parted into the world of colleges and universities. I still hold his words close to my heart as I venture into this vast, vast world.
TRANG
Trang : With my final year coming soon, people keep rushing me in deciding what I’m going to do when I graduate and I just want to tell everyone that I don’t really care. I have plans on my mind but if it doesn’t work out, at least I’ve tried to achieve it 🙂 For so long I’ve been following what my parents or other people expect me to be, soon I’ll just do things for myself because I wanted it that way.
LASHAAN’S LIFE
No surprise that February flew by as if it only had 28 days. It was an intriguing month that had plenty of surprises, whether it was politics or school. Essentially, it was routine. One week at a time. Until March break came screaming! There’s no better time to decompress, right? Wrong… As far as I’m concerned, March break is my indicator that I’m halfway through my semester and that deadlines are about to come in waves. Time to brace myself for the rush of the century!

Trang, you going to be able to catch up to your annual book number goal or are you going to adjust it downward to fit you?

I usually read 100 books per year so yeah I’ll probably make it although it’s not really a challenge anymore. I set my goal too high last year with 150 -Trang

I cannot believe I am going to say this, but sometimes I really miss school. I seriously feel like taking some additional courses from home just because. Maybe I just need more routine? Maybe I am odd like that.
I am excited to see the upcoming reviews you both have lined up! A favorite of mine (The Night Circus) and a few I have been oogling.. so seeing your thoughts first is a huge bonus.
Love the quotes btw. Always do 🙂 Here is to hoping March is fantastic and maybe I can catch up haha. Toodles!

One of the reasons why I’d like to stay as close as possible to school is because of my constant need for knowledge and to be incrusted in an academic environment. I can totally understand your desire to take some courses from home. There’s so many things to discover in life and school gives you a nice little way to do so! Looking forward to put out my review of the books I’ll be reading, always curious to see if my thoughts will be similar to all you awesome people or if they will differ! Hope March will be awesome for you too! Take care, Danielle! 😀

I am just thankful that online courses now exist. I am not sure how well I would fair if things were still as limited as they used to be 😉

Ohh Lashaan I really hope you love The Night Circus. It’s an all-time favourite of mine, and a book on my to-read list for this month as well, so I’ll be looking forwards to seeing your review for it either positive or negative (though hopefully positive)! 😀
Also Trang I love the quote you picked for this month. That’s definitely something I want to be able to say ten years down the line.
I hope you both have a wonderful March! 🙂

Ohh that’s great to hear. Now I’m just hoping all the hype from other people doesn’t end up disappointing you when you do get around to it (though I’m sure it won’t). 😀

Remember to keep the fun in there somewhere because there will always be stress, although some may be more painful than others. But, it appears to me you both have a pretty good handle of what you gotta do, and that is key. So, all the best to you both!

Thank you so much Karina for the reminder. No doubt it’s important to know when to decompress and relax when you’re going through stressful times. Learned that the hard way! Hope you had a wonderful month of February and that March is looking good for you! 🙂

I have yet to hear from someone who thought it was bad! I’m definitely intrigued by the first part of the story. It seems like things are about to be set in motion and will get a lot more interesting pretty soon! Looking forward to the surprises this book has in store for me. 😀 Hope you have an awesome month of March too! 😉
