Bout of Books Day 7 and Wrapup

Bout of Books 18

Day 7: I read 78 pages in The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen and was able to finish it. I also read 104 pages in Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep, so I got in more reading than I thought I would.

I am sad BoB is over and can't wait until May. I was able to participate in both Twitter chats, do one challenge, and read 644 pages and finish two books, which is really good for me. Thank you to the hosts and I hope everyone had a good time!

Bout of Books Day 6 Update

Bout of Books 18

Day 6: I made it to the Twitter chat, so I was able to participate in both Twitter chats. I think that is my favorite part of BoB, because there are always fun people in the chats. I also managed to read 172 pages of the Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen and I think I will be able to finish it on Sunday.

Bout of Books Update Days 3, 4, 5

Bout of Books 18

I managed to finish Dark Frost reading 200 pages the past three days. I have also read another 30 pages in the Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen. I really have to finish that book before Monday, so it will be the focus of my reading for the next couple of days. With the weather, I was not home on Thursday night, so I am slowly updating and catching up on my reading. Hope you all are doing great!

Bout of Books Day 1 and Day 2 Update

Bout of Books 18

Day 1 Update: I was able to attend the Twitter chat which was super fun as always. I also did the #insixwords challenge on Twitter. Reading wise it was a good day. I read 100 pages in Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen and 60 pages in Dark Frost.

Day 2: Nothing. I had a migraine and went to bed as soon as I got home from work. :(

COYER Blackout signup

wintercoyer-16-17

This is hosted by Berls, Michelle, and Stormi and you can sign up at this link. Technically this started December 17, but I have been in a blogging slump and am just now posting my signup. The challenge runs from December 17 to March 3, 2017 and focuses on reading books on your e-reader. I have a few free review books I would like to get to and this challenge does help me focus on that. The COYER people are also a fun group and there are Facebook posts and Twitter chats.
I will add to my reading list as I go.

My reading list:
Beheld by Alex Flinn

Poor blog

Well, this is my first post for December and since it is the last day of the month, that is pretty pitiful. I haven't felt like doing much of anything since August and am just now getting out of that slump. I hope to start blogging again in the new year and finding challenges to signup for, even though I am not for sure I completed a single challenge this year. I plan on getting a COYER and Bout of Books signup up today and possibly start picking out challenges, however I may not do a year end wrapup, because it kind of depresses me. I think I will just let the new year be a new slate and maybe we can pretend the last few months did not happen or maybe they were a dream ala Dallas style. :)

Hope you have all been well!
