What a day--after working and staying up late all this week, I am starting to feel the lack of sleep. I still have to work tomorrow, too. I still hope to get some reading done tomorrow. I had a few hours this afternoon to read before we went to my the fun fair at my daughter's school. I am done reading for the night (I think) so I can work on reviews.
My Goals for the Week:
- Finish 3 books and hoping for more
- Write reviews for titles finished within 2 days
- Visit at least 10 different bloggers each day
Today's Progress:
- I read the bulk of Altered today to finish it. I listened to it as an audiobook over a few days but went back through to read it too. I guess that's a little nutty but I just needed to read it! :) LOL It is SO GOOD! Have you read it yet?
Reviews and Other Special Posts this Week:
- Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland
- The Taming of Ryder Cavanaugh by Stephanie Laurens (though I finished it prior to Bout of Books 7.0)
- Georgetown Academy Book Four Cover and Contest posted! Be sure to enter for some awesome prizes!!
- Working on Smart Girls Get What They Want by Sarah Strohmeyer

Questions for You:
So now that the weekend is here, do you have any fun plans on your agenda? Are you hoping to get more reading done Saturday and Sunday?
You're doing amazing! I've been really wanting to read Altered, I've had it on hold at the library, but had to freeze the hold because I had way to many books checked out already. I definitely plan on getting a lot of reading done this weekend! Good luck with the rest of the read-a-thon! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so good! Do make time for it! Thanks for stopping by today. Good luck the rest of the week to you too. Happy reading!
DeleteYou're doing great! Wish I could read that fast.
ReplyDeleteI hope/plan to read more cause of the weekend but I'm not sure I'll have any more spare time. Though it would be nice to finish The 5th Wave and start with Sever.
I have 5th Wave on my list too. :)I have to read the whole Chemical Garden series yet. One of these days I will. Happy Reading!
DeleteWow, it seems you're having a great read-a-thon, awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Aleksandra! I hope you are as well. Happy Reading!
