Also finished reading "House of Many Ways". I'm four days early lol - I planned to finish this on 28th, according to my reading schedule. Well, the schedule is more like a guide(?) at this point so this shouldn't be a surprise, I guess. 

Does having a reading schedule take away the fun in reading? I don't think so. I read multiple books at one time (...still experimenting with this haha) and the schedule helps me avoid feeling overwhelmed... in some way, it also makes it hard to fall into a reading slump (in my case, anyway). Maybe because you know when it will end, so reading a certain amount of pages daily feels doable and safe. 

Anyway, back to "House of Many Ways". Yeeeaah... still not a fan of the main character. Also, this can easily be a horror story with that lubbock stuff... weirdly though, I enjoyed those horror(?) elements more this time. Now that I've finished rereading the "Howl's Moving Castle" series - that's two books off the not-rigid list - I'm actually glad that each of them can be read as standalones. I usually just reread "Howl's Moving Castle" because that's my favourite.

Received an e-mail about this yesterday. My LJ account was opened in 2009... which made me wonder what I was doing there at that time, because that's like pre-Arashi era for me XD. Probably for another fandom.. hmmm
