I haven‘t been wanting to read much lately so since it is my day off I‘m hoping to get to page 200.

First book for the winter magical read-a-thon. My chapter 1 prompt is to read a 500+ page book.

Black Friday book haul. Can‘t wait to dive in. Any suggestions for where to start?

Ok. I‘ve been seriously thinking about making a bookstagram page but I‘ve been really bad at posting anywhere regularly and even worse here. So what I‘m going to do instead is post here more regularly and see how things go. Anyway...here is my currently reading pile. Hoping to get them all read but A Storm of Swords is the one to move into 2020 if not.

#triwizardathon book one completed.

Hungarian Horntail: Read a book with lots of action.

Afternoon plans. I can‘t remember the last time I did this.

My reading buddy and I are about to start our first #tometopple read.

November TBR

I decided to post a TBR this month since I‘ll be participating in 4 different read-a-thons.

First up is Autumn Cozy reading night tonight. Then we have the Triwizard Tournament Task One and Round 9 of Tome Topple. And finally we have Nonfiction November for the whole month.

Happy Halloween! I‘ll be spending it with my book and some tea.

Best way to spend the evening. In one of my favorite places with one of my favorite authors.

“There will be another prince like him,” he swears. “Better than him. Me. I am the new Prince of Wales and I shall be King of England in his place, and you can get used to it.”

Best line so far.

My pick for the Exemplary Badge in the round one catchup for the #Bookemon read-a-thon. I found it just ok. Not a bad read but not one I plan to pick up again.

Read this for the prose badge in the round one catchup of the bookemon read-a-thon. So that gives me 3 of the 12 badges. I also only need 2 more books to hit my Goodreads goal.

Gave comic books one last try and decided they aren‘t my thing. Feel like I missed something....

Completed my first book for the #bookemon round one catchup. All-American Girl by Meg Cabot gives me the Amour Badge which was to read a romance/contemporary.

Not a bad read but not my thing anymore. It was just ok. My younger self would have like it a lot though.

For someone who has always been a mood reader I can‘t seem to get enough of setting read-a-thon TBRs this year.... playing catch-up this month and doing the Bookemon Badge-a-thon in preparation for catch-a-thon in November.

Starting book 2 tonight. Just finished the prologue and I‘m intrigued.

Reminded me a lot of Buffy the vampire slayer. Still a good read though.

Today‘s #24b4monday plans:

Finish this one. There‘s only 100 pages left.

#beatthebacklist #beatthebacklist2019

My partner and I finished this last night and jumped right into book 2 in the series. We both thoroughly enjoyed this one. Lycanthropes, vampires, zombies, could you ask for anything better?

I‘m at the halfway point here and my partner and I are about 90% through Guilty Pleasures. Feeling pretty confident that both books can be completed this weekend. Especially with it being a #24b4monday weekend

Found a series my partner will read with me 😁

What better way to spend a day off.

#beatthebacklist2019

That‘s number seventeen down.

It may have taken months with lots of breaks but I was still good.

‪It‘s my day off and I have 220 pages left. Let‘s see how far I can get.‬

Trying to finish this over the weekend....

Another evening in Westeros....

Would like to at least get to half way today.

My reading buddy and I have been spending the day in Westeros.

Welcome back to Westeros. I will finish this one this month!

Finish it with a few hours left to spare.

For me this was hard hitting.
It was also very easy to read and understand even if you don‘t know lots of psychology.
If you need/want a place to start in helping yourself grow into a better adult I would absolutely pick this one up.

88 pages left to read and 16 hours to do it in. I can do this. Outstanding Divination N.E.W.T.s here I come.

Good while I was in the story but not something I would come back to.

Trying to finish this today....

Progress on my #NEWTs has stalled a bit.....but I am enjoying this one and when I do sit down to read it goes pretty quick.

At 120 pages in the only issue I have right now is that we switch between formal and informal names at an alarming rate (feels like it‘s about every other paragraph or more). Anyone else notice that?

Started this one almost a week ago but I‘m not very far into yet. I am very excited to continue though.

Exceeds Expectations in History of Magic for my NEWTs. And book number 14 so I‘m back on track to complete 24 books by the end of the year.

I FOUND SHAMU!!

The part I‘ve been looking forward to most. Yay 😁

Number 13 complete.

This one is for my Exceeds Expectations in Divination.

One of my childhood books and it‘s still great. I was even able to get my partner to read it to me 😁

Human beans.

Reading with my buddy Eve.

First book of the #newtsreadathon2019

It‘s time for the Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test (N.E.W.T.s). I will be aiming to receive and Outstanding in both History of Magic and Divination this time around. I would like to wish my fellow classmates good luck (especially all you Ravenclaws because we all know that‘s the best house lol)

#magicalreadathon #magicalreadathon2019 #newtsreadathon2019 #beatthebacklist #beatthebacklist2019

Back to working my way through this tome. Hoping to get at least half way in these last days of the month. And then it‘s off to take my N.E.W.T.s for the month of August.

#beatthebacklist2019 #catchupgot #magicalreadathon2019 #newtsreadathon2019

Book 11 down.

Eldest is book 2 in the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Magic, Imminent war. What more could you ask for?

#beatthebacklist #beatthebacklist2019 #beatthebacklistfeature

200 pages left. Can you guess my weekend plans?
