Fortnightly* Update #5
And I'm still behind. I'm also behind on writing reviews. I just haven't been in reading/reviewing modes but I'm going to really try gut it out and just get through books. I think I'm really going to cut back on challenges after this quarter. It used to motivate me, but lately I just want to read whatever I want and not worry about finishing challenges.
*I've decided to change this a bit to a bimonthly update, on the 1st and 15th of each month. But I'm keeping the name, since I really like the word fortnight.
