Weekly Wrap Up (FAIL) (1/28/18-2/3/18)

Sorry I didn’t write a blog post for yesterday, but I didn’t get home until about 9 last night. I just had a fun book shopping day with a friend and I very much enjoyed it. That being said there will be a blog post Monday to make up for it. I haven’t really decided what I’m going to do, but there will be something. Anyway here is what I have been doing in the last week. SPOILERS: It’s a whole lot of absolutely nothing.

Completed: 

All We Can Do Is Wait by Richard Lawson (I was able to participate in a blog tour for this one so you should totally check it out if you haven’t!)

Currently Reading:

Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman: 400 pages (probably going to finish it today)

Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien: 121 pages. (haven’t picked it up in probably 2 weeks)

That’s it everyone. Thunderhead is just taking me a lot longer to finish and I feel a little bit slumpish. I read so much in January that I think I burned myself out. I will keep pushing though and see if I can get out of it, but it was a nice little break. I hope you all understand!

Weekly Wrap up! (1/21/18-1/27/18)

Hello everyone! I’m back with a brand new “wrap” up. Instead of rap I used wrap, get it? I’m terrible at puns. Anyway, I was not as successful this week, but that’s perfectly fine. I can’t win them all. I have not finished any books this week. I have made progress though, so that should count as something.

DNF:

Batman Nightwalker by Marie Lu. I have nothing to say about. That’s all.

Currently reading:

Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien: 121 pages

Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman: 88 pages

All We can do is Wait by Richard Lawson (ARC): 220 pages. I received this book this week and I have a deadline for the review so I’ve been trying to finish it.

That’s it for this week. I know it’s not the most exciting wrap-up. If you guys enjoyed reading this post give it a like and follow me for future posts! Be respectful and happy reading.

Weekly Wrap-Up! (1/14/18-1/20/18)

I’m here with another weekly wrap-up. I am actually quite proud of myself because I have finished four books, I have one DNF, and I have started two others.

January 14:

• Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. (ARC)
• POPSUGAR READING CHALLENGE: Book that was published in 2018.
• Book review

• POPSUGAR READING CHALLENGE: Book with characters who are twins.
• There will be a review on my blog on 1/28

January 17:

• Bending the Universe by Justin Wetch. I gave this 2 stars. (Netgalley)

January 19:

• The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I gave this a 4.75 out of 5 stars.
• POPSUGAR READING CHALLENGE: A childhood classic you’ve never read.
• There will be a review for this on Monday (1/22). I know I said reviews were on Friday but I am too excited not to post it early.

DNF:

• Along the Indigo by Elsie Chapman. (Netgalley)

Started:

• The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien: 50 pages
• Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu: 18 pages

I’d say I had a pretty successful week. What have you read this week? If you enjoyed reading this post give it a like and follow me for future posts. Be respectful and happy reading!

Weekly Wrap-up *Kind of* (1/1-1/13)

Since I started my blog schedule late I am going to do a wrap-up of the last couple weeks. Starting with January 1st.

January 2nd I finished up Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King. I did write a review for it and only ended up giving it three stars. Not bad but not that good either. Indeed it was an average book.

January 7th I finished Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Of course I gave it no less than five stars. It was fantastic and obviously I wrote a review. Even if you don’t find the book interesting there will be something to take from it, believe me!

January 9th I finished Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. Another average book coming in hot with three stars. Wasn’t really the biggest fan of this book and if you want to read why, here is my review.

January 12th I finished Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Sadly I gave this one a two stars and only reviewed it on Goodreads. It definitely didn’t keep my interest, it was very cheesy, and the ending was awful.

Since then I have started two other books.

I am 106 pages into Ringer by Lauren Oliver. It’s not living up to the first book, but I’m only 100 pages in.

I am also 100 pages into Along the Indigo by Elsie Chapman. It’s a weird book so far but that’s all I’m going to say.

It’s been a good couple of weeks for reading. I do think I burnt myself out because I’m slowly moving through the two current reads. If you have read any of these let me know in the comments. If you enjoyed reading this post give it a like and if you’re not already, you should follow my blog for future posts. Be respectful and happy reading.

P.S- I’m starting to add my little logo at the bottom of my blog posts. Let me know if you guys like it. Thanks 🙂

Weekly Wrap-Up! October 8-14

I decided to follow through with the weekly wrap ups! From here on out I will be posting a weekly wrap up every Sunday with my week of reading. After you read this let me know in the comments if I should continue making these or not!

This week I haven’t done a ton of reading because I’m in a sort of slump. One of the books I read kind of left me not in the mood to read. If any of you have recommendations of books that get you out of a reading slump let me know!

Books I’ve Finished:

Hit the Ground Running by Alison Hughes. 2/5 Stars. 

Goodreads Synopsis | My review

Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson. 3.5/5 Stars. 

Goodreads synopsis | My review (Goodreads) | My review (Blog)

I’m not going to give my opinions on these just because I have reviews of them either on Goodreads or previously on the blog.

Books I’m Currently Reading: 

The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti. 76 pgs/327 pgs.

Not the greatest book so far. That’s all I’m going to say about it right now.

Awakened by Love by Azin Sametipour. 20% into the novel.

I can’t really say anything about the novel just yet. When I have finished it you will definitely see a review!

I’d like to know if any of you have read any of these! Let me know your opinions. Keep your eyes open next Sunday for another weekly wrap-up! Be respectful and happy reading!

Weekly wrap ups?

I was thinking that I could write weekly wrap ups for you all. Would you be interested in seeing them? I would track my reading starting on Monday and post about what I have accomplished on Sunday. If you are interested comment down below or like this post. Sorry this is short and not that interesting but I thought I would ask. Thanks for reading!
