Tackle Your TBR Wrap-up

My goals for this read-a-thon were to finish 4 books, read 500 pages, and participate in at least one mini-challenge. I completed two fun mini-challenges, so goal met there. I read 499 pages, so I almost met my goal of 500 pages and if I had been paying attention, I would have read one more page! :) I only finished two books, but I should finish Ocean at the End of the Lane on Sunday, so I am not too bummed out. I forgot how busy work would be when I set my goals and that really cut down on my reading time, since I worked a couple of 12 and 10 hour days. We also went to our university's homecoming and alumni programs, so that took away most of my Friday and Saturday reading, but it was fun. Thanks again to Tressa @ Tressa's Wishful Endings and Laura @ Colorimetry for hosting and I really enjoyed the posts and challenges so thanks to those bloggers and authors too!

Tackle Your TBR Reading Challenge: Book Pairing

This challenge is hosted by Jen at YA Romantics. You choose one book from your TBR or one you read for this challenge and pair it with some other object you love. Make sure your object matches your book in some way like through the cover or content.

I chose Chaos of Stars as my book:

HarperTeen

This is one of my favorite paintings:

The night sky is an important part of the story,  because Isadora loves the stars, particularly Orion.

Tackle Your TBR Mid-week check in

So far I have read 336 pages and finished two books, Dealing with Dragons and Chaos of Stars. I have also completed one mini-challenge and wrote one review, which I cannot publish until the first of October (It is for Hero, which releases the middle of next month). I think I will reach my page number goal, but probably not finish four books, however I am happy with my progress so far. Thanks again to Tressa @ Tressa's Wishful Endings and Laura @ Colorimetry for hosting!

Tackle Your TBR goals post

This challenge is hosted by Tressa @ Tressa's Wishful Endings and Laura @ Colorimetry.
My goals for this read-a-thon are to read at least 500 pages and I would like to finish 4 books. I would also like to do at least one mini-challenge during the read-a-thon. I really need to finish a couple of books that I have already started and since I am doing the September is for Sequels challenge, I need to read a couple of sequels.

My reading list:
Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White (I have around 30 % left of this, so I definitely want to finish it.)
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein (last month's Random Read I still need to finish!)
Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede (Paranormal Challenge)
Always a Witch by Colleen MacCullough (Sequels, Paranormal, RIP VIII)
Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund (Random Read, Sequels?)
Infinityglass by Myra McEntire (Sequels)
The Nevermore Poe Collection by Kelly Creagh, Edgar Allan Poe (RIP VIII)
Origin by Jennifer Armentrout (Sequels)
Graceling by Kristen Cashore (New authors, Dusty reads)
Frostbite by Richelle Mead (Sequels, RIP VIII, Paranormal)
Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (RIP VIII)

I am hoping to finish the first two books on the list and maybe two others. What are your goals?
