The King Challenge For '25 Is Slow (So Far?)

My plan to read seven Stephen King books in 2025 is in a bit of a struggle right now.

As of today, I am a little over half-way through the second novel in the mission - Black House by King and Peter Straub, 

I started it on February 27th. Well over a month ago. I don't think it has taken me that long to finish a Stephen King novel let alone get half-way through one.

It's not like I am not enjoying it. I loved The Talisman and this is its sequel. It seems I have other things getting in the way of my time and I am unable to commit to it as much as I'd like.

My Good Reads Reading Challenge for 2025 is also looking awry. 

I had set a goal of fifty-two books for 2025. I have read eight. Therefore, I am four books behind schedule.

Some socks need to be pulled up. 

And fast.
