Personal Reading challenge: Results and August

So hi..

So July was pretty good for reading, although I did a lot, I also had no stress from exams and plenty of free time, so all three books were comfortably read and thoroughly enjoyed.

I have also already decided what I'm reading this month and rather than 3 books, I've chosen 6, which is the first 6 books of A Series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket. I don't have the whole series but I absolutely loved this story as a child, I played the games, Watched the film repeatedly and read the books. I seen these among my collection while choosing books to read for July and had my heart set on re-reading them for August.

Did anyone else love this book series as much as I did and still do?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

June Personal Reading Challenge: Results And July

So Hi,

For June I said that I really wanted to try and read a lot more and had 2 and a half books chosen to read (it was meant to be 3 originally)

Now I did manage to finish both My sisters keeper and Beautiful creatures, but I am only about halfway through A thousand splendid suns. I realized choosing to give myself this challenge right during exam time probably wasn't the greatest timing and I spent a lot of my time reading textbooks more than anything, But  I'd still like to make an effort to read 3 books a month. I know that's quite a small number but baby steps, I love reading and want to make it apart of my everyday routine. During June I tried to read before bed, but obviously some days I was just too tired and others I was pulling my hair out with revision and exam stress.

This month I'll once again pick some books to read and let you know how I get on.

The first book will be finishing A Thousand Splendid Suns.

The second book I chose is 'Blackbird' by Jennifer Lauck

And Thirdly 'The Evil Seed' by Joanne Harris

I have so many books that I've collected over the years and not read or forgotten about, I really do look forward to reading them all, maybe another post for another day can be my book collection.

We'll talk soon lovelies!

Personal Reading challenge-June.

So Hi..

So I keep getting so out of touch with reading, college, friends and a lot of the time the internet has meant I spend rarely any time reading, and even though I try to read before I go to bed sometimes I just get too tired to read and fall straight asleep. this always upset me as I love reading, As a kid I read ridiculous mounts to the point my dad got frustrated buying more books for me every couple of days, and I feel because of all that reading it really benefited me intellectually, Like I would not have the ability to achieve if I did not spend as much of my time reading as I did.

So for the month of June I decided to give myself a challenge of reading 3 books minimum, this may seem like a pretty small amount but I don't want to go crazy until I know I'll do it and make time for it. Although One of the books I'm planning as one of the 3 I am halfway through so may add Another book so it would technically be 3 and a half books. I know which first 3 books I'm planning to read, But have yet to decide on a final one.

1st book: My Sister's Keeper-Jodi Picoult: This is the book I'm halfway through and so far I'm really loving it, the different points of view and way it's written just draws me in.

2nd book: Beautiful Creatures-Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl: I kept delaying reading this book, Starting it then losing it and then restarting a few months later, I really just need to complete it! I know its also the first of a series of books and may buy the others in the future if I enjoy it

3rd book: A Thousand Splendid Suns-Khaled Hosseni: This book was a recommendation from a friend and I'm really looking forward to reading it as it sounded really interesting when she told me about this one.

For the fourth book I might try and get a copy of ' The fault in our stars' as I'm really dying to read it, that or 'Looking for Alaska'

And yeah Once the month is up I shall come back letting you know if I managed it, I also might try to keep it up each month if I do it successfully the first time, with a number of book I have and 3 books a month.

We'll talk soon lovelies!
