Hello fellow internetians! I said in my goals post that I would post my updates with my reviews, but I decided to just put them all together on one post- so I will be updating this post each night this week to tell you guys all I have accomplished!
Monday
Books read:
- Team Human by Justine Larbalestier & Sarah Rees Brennan (review here)
- Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday (90 pages)
Challenges: 2 (all the challenges for today!!)
Chats: I attempted to participate in today's chat, but lost internet connection for a while and then when it came back I couldn't follow along! I'll try again tomorrow, though!
Total Books Read: 1
Total Challenges: 2
Total Chats: 0.5
Thoughts on Today: I didn't get as much reading in as I would have liked, but I still had family in town, so tomorrow I'll definitely try to get down to business! Also, my Team Human review is a little rambly because a) I forgot to eat lunch and b) my brain officially lives in my school locker and my writing skills are not as good as they are during the school year. It's Summer. Who needs eloquence? :) Oh and I ordered my copy of Onyx yesterday and B&N shipped it today!!! (Which is weird b/c I thought it was coming out tomorrow, but I don't really care as long as I get it!!) I got like 1-3 day shipping, so it has a chance of getting here tomorrow :D

- The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan (finished, no review yet)

Chats: Was too busy reading ;)
Total Books Read: 3
Total Challenges: 2
Total Chats: 0.5
Thoughts on Today: WHY IS MY COPY OF ONYX NOT HERE YET?! Obviously, I understand that it can take a while, but I was so hoping. I'm at that point where I don't wanna read any book that isn't Onyx... Bad... I'm dying here. Anyways, I read a lot today, and am really proud of myself, but I keep procrastinating on those reviews. Meh. I promise to write them tomorrow. And then my copy of Onyx needs to get here!!!! Arrgh.

Me too! One post at http://reading.elsi123.net/2012/08/bout-of-books-50-my-experience.html to be updated each day. I'm still reading today ... for a couple of hours, I think ... but so far I've read 291 pages.
Wow. That is ambitious. I am lucky if I cann get a few comments in while checking out some of the blogs on my blog roll. I thnk I need better time management. Now I'm exhausted.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it all!

ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you see the cover reveal for opal??! And it comes out in December! No long wait
Yeah it's definitely hard to balance reading time and family time! I feel ya there! I still have to read the Onyx series. You'll have to tell me how you like it! :D
ReplyDeleteGood job finishing Team Human and that's great progress with Deadly Cool!

Here's my progress!
You are doing AWESOME! I have two books on the go, but plan to read Team Human next -- it looks great! And I've heard great things about Deadly Cool -- I think I have that one on my Kobo.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work!
Awesome work! I'm hoping to make it to the last chat because I missed the first two. I'm adding Onyx to my to-read list now!
