It's a really good book, but my boyfriend has been re-watching Suits on Netflix and I haven't seen a lot of the new episodes and it's not a good excuse to keep putting my Kindle down and I could have spent the day in my bedroom shut off from it but I cant help myself haha. But I will finish this book today!

I'm just happy this is my day to relax. I've been so crazy busy I just needed a me day this weekend. Plus football is on!! But my team, the Redskins, is off this week--so I'm just listening and not watching.
Woohoo 🎉 I read 3 books today. Not bad since I’ve had 2 days off from reading. I’ll try to read 3 more tomorrow. Or more. I’m off to bed. Goodnight everyone 😴😴
How's everyone getting on? I've had to DNF two of my BR books so far, but I've read 2 extra books that I wasn't planning on reading so I don't feel that bad.

It was Alice in Zombieland and Ignite Me. I knew I wasn't going to like Ignite Me because I wasn't that keen on the books I've already read in the series, but I kinda wanted to finish it. Now I know that won't be happening haha. AiZ just wasn't great. The writing style wasn't dreadful.
I'm kinda caught up on my BRs. I have one which was supposed to start today which I'm starting now, and then 2 on Friday, but I think I'll start one of them tomorrow after I finish the first one and then it won't be so bad haha.

Oh man, yeah I read Alice in Zombieland and wasn't what I thought it would be about. I haven't read Ignite Me yet. I still have to read Unravel Me...

I thought it would be a Alice in Wonderland retelling with zombies, but clearly not!
I quit reading at Unravel Me. I was listening to it as an audiobook, and when the narrator went on and on for five minutes about a single kiss, I was done. I love romance, but I need a little more depth and action in the story too.

Alaina wrote: "Emily wrote: "I quit reading at Unravel Me. I was listening to it as an audiobook, and when the narrator went on and on for five minutes about a single kiss, I was done.

Emily wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Emily wrote: "I quit reading at Unravel Me. I was listening to it as an audiobook, and when the narrator went on and on for five minutes about a single kiss, I was done.

Alaina wrote: "Emily wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Emily wrote: "I quit reading at Unravel Me.

Waiting makes sense then. Most times I finish it then anyway.

I'm a terrible person that can't helping DNFing if I'm really not feeling it. Maybe I should take a leaf out of your books (puns, I have them), and try putting it down for a bit and coming back to it later.

Hey Alaina- were you planning on reading
this month?
Andrea wrote: "Hey Alaina- were you planning on reading this month?"I was going to see if it was available in my library..but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Isn't there a BR already set for it, right?
Andrea wrote: "Hey Alaina- were you planning on reading this month?"I just put it on hold at my library. I still have to finish the three I have today: Now I Rise, Empire of Storms, and Son of Neptune. So I'm hoping tomorrow I'll go get my new books.

Okay sweet I got the audiobook. If we finish it, we should read the third one! And yes there's a BR already set up

Woot woot. I'll let you know when I start #2, probably sometime this weekend.
Andrea wrote: "Woot woot. I'll let you know when I start #2, probably sometime this weekend."okay :) I'll probably start it this weekend too. I'm going to another winery on Friday and I have no idea how long I'll be out. Plus I really need to finish my library books by tomorrow before I go pick up my new ones.

And congrats to everyone that has been posting! I'm so proud of you guys!! I'm planning to read a lot of books today for the series I'm BR-ing in.

Okay let me know when you finish the shadow hour and then we can pick a day!
Will do 🙂 I’m out right now but I’ll see if it’s available at the library later today
I just checked my email and it says it’s available. So I’ll probably pick it up tomorrow? Since I have like 5 more physical library books to finish.

tomorrow, not sure if I'll finish because I have to do a bunch of studying.
soooo I just got into a serious argument with a co-worker who said I read too much... and she was serious about it. She made it seem like I was trying to be better than everyone. You know what I did, picked up my e-reader and continued to read. Step off and take your no imagination, sad, wishing you could read ass over there. GIRL BYE!

Totally behind on my BR's, currently got three that were supposed to start on Friday and Saturday (two of which I've read about 25% of each), and another starting tomorrow. HALPPPPP! How have I gotten behind so much??? Attempting to finish at least 1 of them today.
Yea, I'm backed up too with my buddy reads. I just wanted to read non listed books for some reason...lol
Rae wrote: "Yea, I'm backed up too with my buddy reads. I just wanted to read non listed books for some reason...lol"Oh that has been me that past couple of days haha. I just need to stop getting distracted and read haha.
I'm so behind in my BR's too!! I'm going to sit down today and get through a bunch of them, Well... I'll try my hardest.
Phew! I finished and wrote reviews for A Clash of Kings and Blood Promise. I'm probably going to read and finish Now I Rise and The Last Olympian. Then I have no idea what else I will read but I will be reading. I'm trying to catch up in allllll of these BR's.
Yea, I'll get through new moon, crescendo and ready player one today.
Rae wrote: "Yea, I'll get through new moon, crescendo and ready player one today."woohoo!
One book down, two to go. As it is currently 10.07pm and I have work in the morning, I cannot see me finishing any more books tonight but I'm gonna try and read a bit more before bed.
