February 2015 Wrap Up

Books Read
I didn't get much reading done this month, but did get some writing done, so that's good.

I only reread The Selection and The Elite by Kiera Cass. I don't know why, but I've been wanted to read these books again and I finally did!



Posts this Month
I only posted the Versatile Blogger Award, so go check it out!

Events
There were not any events this month :(

Next Month...
I'm not sure what I'll be doing next month. I'll just have to wait and see.

January 2015 Wrap Up

This month was... okay. It could have been better, but I spent most of my time studying for midterms, sleeping, and exploring Pinterest because last week was exhausting!

Books Read
I read 3 full books this month and started one.

I read In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken which I have a review for, so you should go check that out.



I also reread The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michele Hodkin because I had an assignment that I was using the book for.



The last full book I read this month was The Iron Butterfly by Chanda Hahn. The cover is gorgeous and the book was okay. It could have been done better in areas such as world building and dialogue (which was robotic at times) and I wish there was more of a relationship between Kael and Thalia. The author said that they were getting closer, but didn't show it which is what I really wanted because Kael isn't that bad of a guy. I am interested in the next book because I want to know what happens next, but it is not a must read.



I also got a little bit into A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass.

December 2014 Wrap Up

I think that this month was pretty successful. I feel like I did a lot this month, so let me wrap it up for you.

Books Read
I feel like I had a great reading month. I read a total of 4 1/2 books which is really good for me.

I read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michele Hodkin. I really liked it and really want to read the next one.


I also reread Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.



I then read The Infinite Sea also by Rick Yancey, which I had mixed feelings about, and a little over half of In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken.



Posts this Month
I posted a lot in December. I posted nearly everyday for the It's the End of 2014 Read-A-Thon and a lot of posts during that. There was just... a lot.

Events
I participated and hosted the It's the End of 2014 Read-A-Thon. It was a blast! I ended up reading only 2 1/2 books for the read-a-thon which isn't too bad considering I was really sick for the majority of the event, but no worries, I'm fine now. I probably shouldn't have refused to get a flu shot. That was a bad decision. But, I'm fine, so I guess it wasn't that bad of a decision.

Next Month...
The only thing I have planned for January is to reread The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and finish up In the Afterlight.

November 2014 Wrap Up

Wow, I feel like I haven't done a wrap up in so long... ANYWAY, I decided to structure my wrap ups, hauls, and monthly TBR differently. I'm just going to mash them together into one big wrap up thing with other things as well... I know it must sound confusing because I'm terrible at explaining things (always have been), but I think it'll make more sense if I just got started.

Books Read
I had a really bad reading month... I only read three books.

I reread The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins for Across Blogs which is a thing I am doing with Sarah from YA Bookaholic which I'm sure that discussion will be up soon. 

Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2)

I also read Into the Wild by John Krakauer for English class and this was also the only book I read this month. It was okay, not completely awesome. I think I was more interested in Chris McCandless and the people he met and his journey than all of the stuff that was in the book. If you haven't heard of Chris McCandless, I think you should definitely look his story up because some parts of his story did touch me emotionally and the book was very impactful in some parts. 


Posts This Month
Considering this month was #BookBlogWriMo and I posted everyday, which I am pretty proud of myself about, I have posted a lot. I also posted things regarding a read-a-thon that will be in this post later and updates on my NaNoWriMo trial run. I lost. Even with my small goal of 30,000 words meaning 1,000 words per day. I am ashamed and still working on my novel. Anyway, let's link these posts! I also got a Twitter this month... YAY!!! @booking_awesome


Events
There were not any events I, like, physically went to, but I did participate in some things...
- #BookBlogWriMo (Was a blast)
- Mini NaNoWriMo (I failed)
-The 'It's the End of 2014' Read-A-Thon got up and off the ground and we started some cool things

Next Month...
I will be participating in the read-a-thon mentioned above, so I will not be listing a TBR until the read-a-thon. Until then, I will be reading the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michele Hodkin for the December Across Blogs and I actually started reading it today and am hooked so...

I hope you guys like this format because it was easier to do, everything is all in one place for you guys, and I get to add blog news and stuff like that! I will see you guys soon with another post!

September 2014

I'm sorry it's a little late, but I have my Wrap Up and Book Haul for the month of September! I hope you all enjoy it!

P.S. There will not be a TBR for October because I have kind of been in a reading slump lately and I don't want to set a goal and then not be able to reach it, especially not with the amount of homework I have.
