Bout of Books 11.0 Day 5: Reading Update

So Day 5 of Bout of Books was a bust. I hardly got to read. I didn't even really feel like it today. I promised to read the book above, Who Could That Be at this Hour?, and return it tomorrow so I decided to change pace. I'll continue Witches of East End after I finish this book. "The a…

Challenge #7: Recreate a Cover

The 7th challenge I'm participating is recreating a cover over at Spines and Covers. This challenge was really fun. I'm glad I've seen some others draw their recreations because I drew mine as well. Fair warning I'm not an artist. And also I am not a ch…

Bout of Books 11.0 Day 3: Reading Update

I can't believe the third day is about to be over. I've officially read three books in total. After visiting so many new blogs I've found new series I want to read and I feel very motivated to read more than 1 book a day. I don't know if it'll happen. I think that time would be …

Bout of Books 11.0 Day 2: Reading Update

Day 2 of Bout of Books went extremely well. I read almost 400 pages and finished a book. A really good book at that. Problem is I fell asleep at 3 am because I was reading so late. I woke up super late so by the time I was finished with that book most of the day had gone by. I need to try a differe…

Hey guys! The first day of Bout of Books has been pretty great. I finished City of Lies by Lian Tanner early in the morning. I was so busy the whole day with volunteering, blogging, and forcing myself to exercise that I've only gotten up to page 24 on my next book. I chose at random from my TBR…
