My Upcoming Reading Challenge



With it being the end of the semester, demands of my job steal my reading time. Many teachers can relate, and during any break I relish my reading time. 

Here are 10 books I'm challenging myself to read during my small break: 

1.    The Archived ARC by Victoria Schwab

2.    The Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse

3.    Every Day by David Levithan

4.    Rapture by Lauren Kate

5.    Splintered ARC by A.G. Howard

6.    The Second Spy by Jacqueline West

7.    Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

8.    Jepp, Who Defied the Stars by Katherine Marsh

9.    Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

10.  The Diviners by Libba Bray




And of course, I am looking forward to finishing my audiobook, Days of Blood and Starlight. 

Have you read/reviewed any of the above? If so, leave a comment/link.

Which of these novels do you recommend I read first?

Happy Reading!

A Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon - YES!

It seems like I have spent the last nine weeks of my plan playing catch up. I have not been able to read as much as I would like, and I've been so tired that a nap sounds better than even dessert. I know! The horror of choosing a nap over eating a dessert, but that is how bone tired I have been.

I am now less than 24 hours from starting fall break. Last year I traveled for nine days during fall break AND I was in Grad school, so it was not really a break. This year - my hubby and my little man will be at work/school and it will be just me...me and my books. YES! So, I have decided to join the Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-Thon. Why? Because I love books, because I love all things witchy and Halloweeny, and because I love books. 

I've never done a Read-a-Thon before, so I hope this goes well. Bring on the books! I am loaded with so many I have purchased/received that have been longing for my eyes. I cannot wait.

Stay tuned as I chronicle my reading adventures via Twitter: #WWReadathon
