2016 Geek Goals

Last week saw a new year began and I shared with you my cosplay plans. This week I would like to share with you all what I would like to achieve this year in teams of Geekdom/Otaku related goals. Along with a couple other goals slipping in. 

1. First of all I would like to buy and read more manga. I would like to grow my collection and reading.  I have already brought a banch of manga online this month so expect a manga haul later this month when it all arrives. 

1.5 Add verity to the manga I buy/read so I don't keep on reading the same old stuff

2. Buy and watch more anime. Once again I would like to grow my collection.

2.5 Start/finish the second Cardcaptor Sakura collection that I brought 2(?) years ago

3. Read 80 books. Last year I only read 67 books, where in past years I have been able to read 90+ books. I love to read, and I want to do more of it.

4. Get my Space Marine army to a point where I am able to play a game with them

4.5 Actually play a game with my Space Marine army,

5. Get my butt into gear, and enter/complete in my first cosplay competition

And that's about all. Here's to a new year

Dewey's 24 hour Read-a-Thon April updates!

This is where I will post updates of my Read-a-Thon.


The first book I will be reading is Bakuman Volume 14

I just finished my first book at about 10:50pm

Next up is Bakuman Volume 15

Seeing as it was nearly midnight I decided to go to bed





I only ended up finished Bakuman Volume 14 and 15, and reading most of the first Harry Potter book

Open Meme for the April 24 hour Read-a-Thon

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I'm from Australia

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the most. I want to get though a fair bit of the manga in my TBR bookcase (yes I have a bookcase for my TBR pile. Keep in mind though it is only a very small one), but in the past couple of weeks I have had a inkling for some Harry Potter.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
I haven't actually got any snacks planned! I probably should have thought of that. I will probably just see what there is to eat when I get hungry.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I love reading and Pokemon and I have loved them both since I was a little girl. To the point where one of the earliest memories I have of my dad is him reading me a Pokemon book before I went to bed. Not much has changed since then, I still love reading and I still love Pokemon.

Besides for that I like to play video games, read manga, watch anime as well as cosplay (I try to make most of my cosplays) and Lolita fashion.

5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what's one thing you'll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
this is my first read-a-thon, so I don't really know what to expect. Like I said before, I really want to a few of my manga read, but I'm also looking forward to extra motivation to read, or at lest I hope there will be.

Dewey's 24 hour Read-a-Thon TBR

With the read-a-thon starting tomorrow, I thought I would post the list of books I hope to read over the 24 hour period. I have a few thicker books on my TBR list, but in the hope of reading more books this challenge I will stick to thinner books. 

Last July I brought the complete Bakuman series, and the first ten Naruto volumes, which while I have started I am yet to finish. I would like to finish reading one and read one or two of the other. My main focus will be those two.

To mix things up, I will have the choice of The Maze Runner, the first Harry Potter book, the ninth Ranger's Apprentice book, book five of Brotherband or a choice of one of the books off my Kindle.

Dewey's 24 hour Read-a-Thon

I just signed up to do the [url=http://24hourreadathon.com]Dewey's 24 hour Read-a-Thon.[/url] Like the tile suggests, you read as much as you can in a 24 hour period. It is a Read-a-Thon that is held twice a year, with everyone starting and finishing at the same time. The next one is on April 25th. 

Earlier this year I read 10,000 pages which worked out to be around 21 (?) books in one month. I got though a lot of my to be read pile. I want to pick things up a little bit as I'm hoping to reading 100 books this year.

I'm really looking forward to it, and hopefully meeting some other people who enjoy reading as well along the way
