It's Monday, What Are You Reading is the place I try to decide how I'm going to spend my week and is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog. Lately, I haven't been meeting my goals. So during What Are You Reading 6/22, I decided to stop looking at the number of books I read and focus instead on how many pages I've read. Let's see how I did:
Finished
Reality Check by Peter Abrahams (330) - read it in two sittings!
Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog (248) - loved this one!
The Vanishing Sculptor by Donita K. Paul (180/390) - I reviewed The Vanishing Sculptor and have a copy to giveaway.
The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand (111/359)- blog tour July 9th and Contest Monday July 13th.
ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley (328) - Contest Monday giveaway - tomorrow!
Game On! Diet Challenge by Krista Vernoff and AZ Ferguson - I reviewed Game On! and talked about how I'm going to try and incorporate this with some other bloggers.
How did I do? I read 1,295 pgs and 3 of 4 books I wanted to finish plus 2 other books! I'm predicting a comeback!
Abandoned
Being Nikki by Meg Cabot - I just didn't want to put any more time into reading this. I feel so much better!
Started
Emma by Jane Austen (12/438)
The Heights by Brian James (17/246)
The Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiana (26/269)
Wings by Aprilynne Pike (43/290)
Upcoming
This week I want to start my Shakespearean Summer Challenge, Everything Jane Austen Challenge, and read some of my library books. I have 32 books checked out!!!!!! Luckily, I only work 2 days this week (yeah!) although I do have homework (boo!). Ok, here's what I'm thinking:
Emma by Jane Austen (426/438) - love Austen!
The Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiana (243/269)- Library book (lb)
Wings by Aprilynne Pike (247/290)- lb
Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson (100) - lb and I can finally read
Peace, Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson (134) -lb and Are You My Newbery?
The Great Call of China by Cynthea Liu (246) -lb and homework
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (287) - No Fear Shakespeare version with complete text and side by side translation!
Ok, that's 1,683 pgs - 667 more than last week. I should be able to do it though! Right?
What Are You Reading?
Oh wow! You have WINGS! Great book! I really, really wanna read "The Castaways" by Elin Hilderbrand, but not time now. :( Too many books...ugh!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I really want to read Wings. I've read the S.A.S.S. "Great Call of China" book and it was cute!
ReplyDeleteI just returned Wings without reading it - I'm putting it back on hold though.. right now (some evil person put it on hold so I couldn't renew it!).
ReplyDeleteI loved the Big Stone Gap series. Trigiani is one of my favorite authors. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing so well! Looks like you had some great books to help you along. I still haven't read my copy of wings yet, but I'm hoping I get to it soon.
