Royally failed #royaltyreadathon and #bannedbooksweek

I was very excited about #bannedbooksweek and #royaltyreadathon.  I set up my TBR.  I hashtaged on twitter.  I was ready.  I decided to read the banned books first.  I cheated and started Saturday evening.  I read until 2 am, slept for a while, woke up on Sunday, and had breakfast.  My husband is working on his Masters, so he started studying, and I sat down to read.  I got through The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife.  I decided to take a break and we had dinner and watched Assassin's Creed.  I figured that I could easily finish The Amber Spyglass on Monday and start on The Royalty Readathon.

I have Fibromyalgia.  Monday the barometer plummeted, and a storm parked over me.  I went into a horrible flare up.  When a flare-up is really bad, I can hardly get out of bed.  My hands are so sore, it is hard to even hold a glass of water.  The brain fog gets debilitating.  Reading is out of the question.  Tuesday was the same.  The weather was supposed to clear on Wednesday, but it didn't and Thursday was even worse.  Finally, late Thursday afternoon it cleared and the forecast for Friday was good.  Of course, it does not get better immediately, but I was so hopeful that Friday would bring some improvement.  THANKFULLY, I am starting to feel marginally better.  At least, I can type.

I might try to read one book from my #royalityreadathon TBR.  I'm not sure.  I have so much housework to catch up on.  Plus, the forecast looks like next week will bring more crap.  I'll see what I can do. 

SO, I royally failed at the #royalityreadathon and I fell short on the #bannedbooksweek.

Let's hope that #victober and #spookathon workout better.  My TBR for those challenges will be posted tonight or tomorrow.
