Fwiw, I’m still pretty much on track. But my notes and piles of comics are jumbled, and I’m working on my formatting here. Will post a couple week’s worth once I get a couple days off and get organized.
Hope everyone else is sticking with their reading goals. I find that writing things down really helps to keep it a daily habit (despite the lack of evidence here lately).

should I get a #2 pencil ready? -M Sorry. I’ve just been playing around a lot with my formatting and decisions on how or why to even document all this. Still on course, almost, but notes and piles of comics very disorganized so behind mostly in just the documentation part. Had switched to a spreadsheet, but decided I did want to post in my two main forums too. Here and dvdtalk use different forum software, but some of the formatting commands are similar so I think I’ve come up with a reasonable compromise. Will probably just mostly abandon this thread unless I get more organized and post closer to daily. Trying to finish up my January and February lists and will post them soon, maybe here and in the reading club threads going forward.
