Is this the first time you have a tracker here? I coulda sworn I saw one before. Ha, I made it here to welcome ya ☺️ BEFORE your Here's something pretty instead bcuz I know its Fall where you are.
Oh and Ron, *serious face* if you need this post for tracking purposes at any time in the future just holler me a hoot and I will delete this comment, no fuss.
I swear, I have no idea how to resize pictures. They always come out so wierd and ugly tho' I choose cute ones.
Looks like you have a lot of great reads planned Veronica! :)
Oh Ron is smooth. Ron is the finest of champagne. Ron reads ALL the things. @Siobhan, actually her tracker made me nervous hehe...

And Iain may be a Dark Priest, but he's my Dark Priest. He keeps me on the Stormlight Path because I can't ever remember anything.
The picture looks a good size to me. Thank you for the cheery colors. :-)

Tell me about it! I'm a bit scared by how full my December and January are becoming, nevermind past that!
Siobhan wrote: "Is that because she has Malazan scheduled past Gar..."Ha prolly! Yeah, good idea...I'm jezzt gonna chalk it down to that!

Weeelllllll....there's always a chance the Malazan/BoTF sequels will fall off. It all depends on if I like the first book or not. :-)
Iain wrote: "My BR tracker scares me, and I don't even update it with all the things I sign up for... the Blade Itself sequels, Sevenwaters sequels, American Gods, Small Angry Planet, on and on...

I considered using my calendar app on my phone but that one is already full of family stuff (doctor's appts, pick-up/drop-off times for various kids' activities, etc.) that BRs wouldn't stand out.
Zaara wrote: "Oh Ron is smooth. Ron is the finest of champagne. Ron reads ALL the things. @Siobhan, actually her tracker made me nervous hehe..."I refuse to commit myself more than a year in advance.

Yeah I decided to just add book 1 to my list and see how I like it. Hoping to continue though.
I add my buddy reads to my phone calendar, but it is a bit cluttered. Maybe an actual diary would be better.
The pocket calendar works for me, Siobhan, because in addition to putting all my family stuff on my calendar app, I also put all the start and/or return dates for my tv shows on there as well as release dates for books I want. Very cluttered.
All that and I still forget family birthdays. Go figure.
Hahaha so organised that you can't actually see the wood for the trees!
Exactly! Oh well, I've even forgotten my own birthday a time or two. I am an equal opportunity forgetter.
Mod
... used to also get things like
as well... might have forgotten one more
Mwha, Ron...gotcha...and me I have a separate reading journal for my books so you can see that I'm a hopeless organizer by myself.For my real life, I have Faisal...he's my keeper of the keys, records, my life...he snaps his fingers and I move according to his dictates...
Baaaaaaastaaaaaaad! No, God...no...where would I be without Faiz, he is Shield Wall and like you say...he keeps me on the path.
Man is gems and gold.
So when he quits the job of Lord Ruler of My Life to move to *snort* Canada to be near his brother (cancer :-((( wtf) I'm gonna be devastated....heartbroken....a shell of my former self...world's best PA...he hasn't told me yet...he's working (steeling?) himself up to it...he knows I will just implode or something BUT today I'm just gonna be impulsive and tell him...you gtg man....just go...whazz all this *snort* conscience?
I'm doing the right thing, right Ron??
He needs to be with family, right now. And Faiz will get a job anywhere....man is gems and gold, but I've said that before...
God, today is gonna suck and blow, Ronnie luv. I just wanted to come over here and borrow some of youz smiles and strength.
Meanwhile you jezzt take the Dark Priest over to The House of Chains and give it him goooooood...don't let him out until 2019. Make sure he forgets everything abt Stormlight 😝
Edit: I didn't nave the guts. He had this face...i'll do it next time.

Cancer sucks. I'm sorry to hear about Faiz's brother. A hug for you, dear heart, across the many miles.
Finished BR for
, which was moved up from it's original (later) December start time. This has opened up my month a bit more which is nice because it means I can fit in more just-for-the-hell-of-it books. :-)
Finished BR for
. This was a reread for me so I listened to it on audiobook. The Miller character was a lot more annoying to me this time around.
Happy birthday, Veronica. We all wish you a great AWESOME rockin' day.
And I hope the year brings you all the things that make you truly happy.
You have a huge heart, a vibrant mind + its all topped off with a lovely personality. And I really mean it, gal. I hope you like cupcakes.

Happy Birthday!... Isn't December the one month nobody wants to be born?... Because it usually ends up being combined with Christmas (I'm sure this was more of a concern as a kid)...
Well, I'm late....happy birthday, Veronica...hope it was great :)
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone. I had a nice, relaxing day since I took the day off from work (slept until noon!!) then dinner out with my husband.

I've (view spoiler) long enough, lol. I think I saw there's a BR for that coming up here somewhere so I should try to fit that in.
Mod
They say Secret History has spoilers for Well of Ascension, Hero of Ages, and Bands of Mourning (book 6)... I can't really tell what the minor spoiler is for book 6, so I think you can safely read after Hero of Ages...
And yea, they're starting Hero of Ages on New Year's... I might be joining in for a re-listen... this anthology has me primed for more Sanderson...
Iain wrote: "Yea... Kelsier was pretty much the only word in that spoiler before you had to enter another spoiler tag for the real paydirt...They say Secret History has spoilers for Well of Ascension, Hero of..."
It looks like Secret History is a collection of short stories? Which is the short story that has spoilers for Bands of Mourning, since I obviously haven't read that one either? I can avoid that one...because I'd probably have to read the Kelsier one right after The Hero of Ages. *sigh* Sanderson (view spoiler), my second favorite character. Well, him and Breeze were neck and neck for the second spot. But that's why I didn't immediately dive into the third book.
So, see? When I complain (view spoiler), I know the cost and heartache incurred when they do. :-)
Mod

It's more one story split into 4-5 parts... Part 1 is the end of Final Empire... 2 & 3 are during Well of Ascension I think... 4-5 are Hero of Ages...
I did a google search and found that A) I think I missed some thigns when I listened to Bands of Mourning, and/or B) I've forgotten a lot...
The Bands of Mourning spoilers are in the last 2-3 pages or so... and they are really minor, I think... (view spoiler)
