DAY 1
Okay, so today didn’t go exactly as planned meaning I started reading at 8pm… Yeah, tell me about it. But that is okay, I have started a book that I have been dying to read since it came out and even though I am posting an update now I plan to keep reading tonight. I will update some more tomorrow as well were I will list some of the books I am considering reading so please feel free to make suggestions and vote on the books I list. ! Keep Reading everyone!!

As some of you may have noticed, there has been no activity from my little book corner as of late and I hate to say it is because I have fallen into a major reading slump. So what better way is there to read a ton and finally get back into the swing of things than finding a challenge to motivate me more?!
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I did the last Bout of Books (4/5 books I had planned, I think) and I want to set the goal at 5 again to keep it simple enough. I know I am horrible at setting up a TBR but I plan to at least make you all a list of the books I am considering closer to the start date. I want to try and update everyday during that week to show my progress and get back into the blogging world. Thanks for sticking by me everyone and I hope you take part in this challenge as well!
Well, this week just flew by and boy am I a little disappointed in myself. My goal was 5 books but I have only managed to finish off 3 1/2. Still better than what I normally read in a week and I have just about knocked out the Percy Jackson series so yay! I would love to do another read-a-thon from Bout Of Books because this was a fun new experience and I really want to try to meet my goal!! I will post the first review on Tuesday and then the others will follow soon so with that out of the way, let’s see how this week played out: Finished Reading:

And on top of my TBR Pile:
Hope ya’ll are as excited as I am for these coming books and reviews! Until then, BYE!
So today went well enough I imagine but I think tomorrow will be even better!! I have only finished one book so far so I will be playing catch up but as long as I am still able to meet my goal I will be happy. The books that I was reading yesterday did not carry over into today (I have commitment issues) so you might see those books listed every other day or not at all. Today’s overview is…

I will read into the night and I really want to finish off two books tomorrow. In theory The Iron King will be one but the other is still a mystery and will depend on the mood this one sets. So far I am really liking this one and I would love to polish off the series before the year ends. I will be posting up book reviews starting next week but you can check out the ratings I give on GoodReads if you can’t wait.
Until tomorrow, Bye guys!! Happy Reading!!!!
Sorry guys!!! I know I said I was going to try and update daily but as you probably can tell, that didn’t exactly happen. Yesterday turned out to be crazier then I originally anticipated but I think that for the rest of the week my life should remain calm but hay, its life so who knows! Now on to the books!
Currently Reading:
I have not finished any of the books as of yet but I’m hopeful that by tomorrow I will finish both Hallowed and City of Ashed since I am about halfway thorough with both. Both of these book I find myself having to stop frequently, Hallowed because the love triangle and drama can get to be a bit munch (not sure if that’s a good thing) and City of Ashes I guess because a lot is happening and I don’t really like the love triangle so much here either (but I can manage this way better than Hallowed).
I don’t really have much to say about the other books yet given that I am only around 50 pages in with them but them seem really interesting and I can’t wait! I get the feeling that even though Gathering Blue is not long it will take me longer than I would like because so far it is a slower read for me. We shall see were I stand tomorrow.
Good Luck with your readings!!
I seem to like book challenges a lot… I have never actually heard of this one before now but hey, why not try something new? My free time seems to be extensive and there are some other book challenges that I am already doing so this would be the perfect opportunity to attempt to get ahead.
For those of you, who like me, had never heard of this challenge before, this pretty much covers the basics:

My goal is to read 5 books during the read-a-thon week. I will not be posting a list of books that I plan on reading because once I plan out certain books I always find it nearly impossible to stay committed to those book. I will however post something daily with my thoughts and the books I read.
Good Luck and Happy Reading!!!
