In Progress: Daily and Monthly Challenges, Weeks 6 & 7

Yes, I missed updating last week. It was a very busy week where I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to. But I was able to keep up with several things that I had on my list. Here's the usual rundown.

I read a lot of graphic novels over the last couple of weeks. I'm up to 37 books so far. I finished Locke & Key, books 4 (Keys to the Kingdom), 5 (Clockworks) and 6 (Alpha and Omega), along with the side books Heaven and Earth, Small World, and Open the Moon. I also read some individual issues. For one of my graphic novel book clubs, I had to read Destroyer by Victor LaVelle. The problem was that my library didn't have the trade paperback for it. So instead, I read each one individually. It was an excellent series, and I think I'm going to have to check out more of his writing. I also finished At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender: Life Lessons from a 50-Year-Old After Two Decades of Self-Discovery. I am continuing listening (for the most part) my way through the Rivers of London series. I finished Foxglove Summer and am currently reading The Hanging Tree. I also listened to Nicholas Courtney's A Soldier in Time: The Nicholas Courtney Memoirs and Holmes is Missing by James Pattison and Brian Sitts. It's the second book in the Holmes, Marple and Poe series and I'd been anxiously awaiting it. It didn't disappoint. Currently, I'm reading That Librarian by Amanda Jones, an excellent writing by a middle school librarian regarding the hatred she faced just for saying that we shouldn't ban books, and listening to The Radical King, a collection of Dr Martin Luther King Jr's writings, compiled and edited by Cornel West and read by LeVar Burton, Gabourey Sidibe, Cornel West, Mike Colter, Danny Glover, Wanda Sykes, Leslie Odom, Jr and Michael K Williams. With everything going on in our country right now, hearing these words remind me that we can fight the injustices that are happening. So far, I think it's my favorite book for the year.

Writing has been a bit hit or miss. I've managed to write something every day, but it's not always good. I need to get in the habit of writing one page in my The Story of My Life daily. I think it will help a lot.

I finished the fast food goal with about 75% compliance. I'm still going to try to get it completely finished one month in the future, but right now, I'm going to count this as good. The last couple of weeks have had me on the go so much that fast food has been more necessary.

Unsurprisingly, I am keeping up with my picture a day. Some nights, I'm taking a picture lying in bed at 2300, but I do manage to get them all! Here are the pictures for the last couple of weeks.
