I LOVED this middle grade fantasy novel. I am thinking about ordering it for my school library, but am not sure I have the right population for this book.

So good!!

Reading something creepy in honor of Halloween. 😳

Ehhhh....I liked most of it, but I thought it slowed down at the end and it was only 100 pages.

Was this book well-written and grammatically correct? Not particularly. Was it enjoyable? Kind of. Was it what I needed right now? Absolutely! I didn‘t have to think much about it, and although there are holes and inconsistencies in the plot, I still found myself wanting to know what happens. I have the next two books, so we‘ll see where the story goes from here.

I don‘t know if anyone is interested in joining Book of the Month, but here is my referral link if you are!

The tagged book was my pick for this month!

Amazing!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whoa! Talk about triggers! This book deals with a school shooting from the perspective of 17 different people. It was really good, but sad at the same time. #LMPBC

@StephanieGeiser @OnlyYoo

Reading this one for LMPBC and it‘s making me sad. Doesn‘t help that it‘s a gloomy day! Also in the middle of The Goldfinch for a neighborhood book club. Another uplifting read!

Week 5: 30/120 minutes of exercise; 8/10 books

Week 6: 120/120 minutes of exercise; 8/10 books

Considering my goal was originally 7 books and I hit my exercise goals most weeks, I feel pretty good!

Re-read ahead of The Testaments

#BFCRound3 Week 4

120/120 minutes of exercise
7/10 books

This week isn‘t looking so good exercise wise.

And with this book, I completed my 2019 Reading Challenge, with four months to go! Let‘s see how many books over and above I can go!

There were parts I loved about this, but it started a little slow for me. Overall, a pick, though.

I read this as a quick catch-up while waiting for the sequel! I just got the actual book from the library for a re-read.

Sorry guys! I have fallen off the face of the Earth. School started here and it‘s been crazy. The past couple weeks just didn‘t happen. I am back on track for this week, though!

Week 2: Only 35 minutes/120 of exercise; 3/6 books

Week 3: 60/120 minutes of exercise; 6/6 books

Upping book goal to 10.

Cute palate cleanser

This was another enjoyable romance from @EloisaJames

I loved the twist at the end! Luckily, I have at least four more of her books on my shelves, because they are awesome!

This was part of my #bookhaul from the library yesterday. I loved this graphic novel very, very loosely based on the early years of Queen Elizabeth I.

BFC Round 3 Week 1

I got my 120 minutes of exercise - Gym visit, horseback riding lesson, and 5K!

I finished 2/6 books - Sunburn & Camille. I may have to adjust this goal.

@wanderinglynn @Laughterhp @Catlover23 @hes7 @Sresendez12 @Dragonfairykats @Scochrane26 @krayoncolorz @TK421 @LapReader

I won‘t say much about this one because not everyone in #LMPBC #GroupA has read it yet. I am NOT a classics reader, but I loved this story. Sad and bittersweet.

Well, guys, I did it! I finished the Literacy Council of Berks-Reading. Crushed my goal time of 45 minutes by almost three minutes. I crossed the finish line in 42:10. My husband took the pics of me approaching and crossing the finish line. #BFCRound3

So, I‘m running this 1 Book, 1 Run 5K this morning, and I‘m kind of nervous, but it‘s for the Literacy Council of Berks/Reading. I can‘t think of much that‘s better to run for.

I received this ARC in the mail yesterday! It sounds pretty heavy, but I can‘t wait to read it!

#BFCRound3
Finished my first workout for this week - 47 minute walk/run/row. I have a 5K this Saturday that I have been training for. I also finished the tagged book. @wanderinglynn @Scochrane26 @Laughterhp @Dragonfairykats @krayoncolorz @hes7 @TK421 @LapReader @Catlover23 @Sresendez12 #SmallSteppers

I am a little late here and I don‘t know how to make one of those cool collages, but here are my goals for #BFCRound3.

1) Exercise at least 120 minutes per week
2) Read 6 books during the 6 weeks - I am getting ready to go back to school, so thought this would be realistic

Eh...just ok, I thought.

@OnlyYoo I got Camille in the mail today! #LMPBC #GroupA

I think I liked this one even more than the first one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Audio 🏃‍♀️

I thought I had this one all figured out, but I didn‘t!

OMG!! It‘s Betsy & Jeremy‘s story!! I loved Jeremy in the last one!!

I liked this one! Quick, easy read.

Enjoying this while at my son‘s swim practice.

This is a pick for me, but I can see how it wouldn‘t be for some. This is supposed to be a treatise on female desire, but for me it was more about women being taken advantage of by men. Sad, and at times depressing, I still feel this is an important read.

The story that made me the most angry was Maggie‘s. Maggie was taken advantage of by her teacher. Not only did he ruin her life, he also ruined the lives of her entire family.

I know this is a tragic myth, but Poseidon was HILARIOUS in this retelling (in verse) of the story of the Minotaur!

Whoa! Didn‘t see that coming at the end! Overall, an enjoyable read.

Trigger Warnings: Sex Trafficking, Sexual Assault, Exploitation of Women

I just finished this one while running. I enjoyed it, especially Libra Bray‘s essay and the one about the girl who brought the preserved cow eye to school. When I was in 7th grade, I found a dead mouse on our front walk. My dad (a dentist) helped me preserve it in a jar and I took it in to my science teacher! 😂😂😂😂

Well, #lmpbc #groupA I finished my pick! I hope you love it as much as I did! 💞

I can‘t remember the last time a book made me cry, but this one sure did! Make sure you have your tissues handy!

@StephanieGeiser @OnlyYoo @thereadingunicorn

Finished this one at the gym today. Can‘t wait to read the next one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At the pool reading my #LMPC book. #groupA

All right, Mr. King, you finally got me! After saying multiple times that your books don‘t scare me, I had nightmares last night.

I have been reading this while running on the treadmill at the gym. I am really enjoying it so far!

This may be an unpopular opinion, but this one was kind of slow for me. It started slow and didn‘t pick up until about page 250. So for me it was just in the middle. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you, thank you, thank you @Nevermore88

I love everything! Thank you @rather_be_reading for setting this up.

#summerreadingswap

Up next. Enjoying lunch at Chick-Fil-A while my son is at Clay Camp.
