I love to sign up for reading challenges. I make a plan, I draw up an outline, I schedule posts - but then I have to follow through. And I never do. Then I vow to never sign up for another one - but when the next one comes around, I think THIS TIME, I'll do it. THIS TIME I'll keep up. THIS TIME I'll reach the goal. But I never do.
And so it goes with Monsters, Murder and Mayhem. I want to do it. I want to enjoy Stephen King and gothic ghosts and things that go bump in the night - like I used to. I want to not be a total wimp. But the cold hard truth is - I don't and I am. So we wrap up week four of Mx3 with 1 of four books from my grand plan complete - 3 in various stages of half-doneness. Same goes for the movies except, of the three that didn't get watched, two of them didn't even get recorded.
There is still time to redeem myself. I have five days of October left in which to complete just ONE of the 3 books I started and watch just ONE of the movies I had selected. "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior." Oh yeah - probably not.
But at least you admit that you are more than likely not going to finish this challenge and I'm sure you will be wiser next year should such a one come up and not participate in it. Honestly, I think I told you already but one Stephen King book did me in (Salem's Lot). Have NEVER read another one of his books and saw just a handful of his movies.

I am amazed at how you read - so cut yourself some slack - you have been busy with family entertaining and crafting as well!
