What I Will ( attempt to ) Read By The End Of The Year
I realistically probably won’t finish half of this but watch me bite off more than I can chew
From the top down:
* Stories with Pictures ( Just the Adagios section ): 54 pages
* The Matisse Stories ( only the last one left ): 39 pages
* Mother & Child ( only read a few pages so far ): 279 pages
* Belladonna: 375 pages
* Book of Franza and Requiem for Fanny Goldmann ( more than half way through the first one ): 130 pages
* Jeweler Richard Vol. 5: 296
* Lies and Sorcery ( just part one ): 119 pages
* A Book of Memories ( just part one that I’m already part way through ): 142 pages
* The Gray House ( just part one that I’m halfway through ): 118 pages
It totals out to 1,552 pages by the end of the year which is roughly 50 pages a day so in theory it should be doable.
I’ll do a check in every week to see how far I’m getting. :)
Don’t check my math.

Just checking in. I’ve been pretty quiet on here recently. So hi. I’m working a lot and missing having time to read so much.
