Once Upon A Read-A-Thon The End

I'm really sorry that I haven't posted my wrap-up sooner. My Internet has been done. I thought it would never come back on.

Books I finished:

Twisted (Fearless)

Pretty Little Liars  #1

526 Pages

I know its not a lot at all. I got really busy. Stuff kept popping up. I read as much as I could. I'm hoping the next read-a-thon I can at least double it! I hope everyone has a blast! I know I did!

Mini-Challenge #2

I did complete one book yesterday and half of another. So I'm very proud of myself.
I decided to participate in YA Bliss's mini challenge.
Her challenge is to choose your three favorite love-triangles.
To me this challenge is pretty dang tough. I usually always go for the bad boy in the books.
My choices:
1. Personal Demons- Gabriel vs. Luc
    - Even though I didn't like this book very much, I still haven't decided who I want Frannie to be with.
2. Blood and Chocolate- Aiden vs. Gabriel
3. And of course, The Twilight Saga Complete Collection- Edward vs. Jacob

Review: Twisted (Fearless #4)

Twisted (Fearless)

This was the first book I'd decided to read for the Read-A-Thon. I just finished it a few minutes ago. I don't think I've stuck to reading like that in years. I think I'm getting to old for this. lol
Anyways...it's been years since I've read the first three books in the Fearless's series. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad book at all. I love these books. It's just that they are hard to find these days. The our out-of-pub. I have to get them from private owners. So shipping is a kick in my ass.
Every book in the Fearless series is great so far. Every page is filled with suspense and mystery. I have to keep reading to find out what happens next. I didn't even want to take breaks today, but I did. I get awful headaches if I read too long. Even with these headaches I'm pushing through this read-a-thon.


Contains Spoilers after is point....

Unfortunately I figured out that David was the killer pretty dang early. Maybe it's because I want Sam and Gaia together. Who the hell knows? But I feel so sorry for Ed, him being in a wheel chair and all. If not really that he is in a wheel chair that makes me feel sorry him, it's the fact that he is chasing after a girl that he knows doesn't feel the same. I guess that's just humans. Going after something they love, no matter the heartbreak later. I hope she brings in a character for him. I like Ed. He is sweet and kind. A guy any girl would dream to have.
If Sam really loved Gaia, he wouldn't be sleeping with Heather. I want Sam and Gaia together, but then again I don't. I feel like he doesn't care for her enough. He is only with Heather because he feels same and she's hot. I just get the feeling that he is very shallow. I hope he changes soon, or I'm going to want another love partnerfor Gaia.


Update on Progress:
Finished Gaia: Check!
Started on second book: Right after I get off of here. I think I'm going to read the first book in the Pretty Little Liars.

Well I'm off!

Happy Reading to All! 

Mini-Challenge #1

Hey guy. I decided to participate in IB Book Blogging's mini-challenge. It struck my interest when I noticed the theme was Mythology. I love Mythology. The book that I'm reading for the Read-A-Thon has a little of mythology in it.

Question 1.
What is your favorite type of mythology?
    Well my all-time-favorite would probably have to be Greek, but I also love Roman too.
Question 2.
What is your favorite book with some type of mythology in it?
     That's easy. It's the Daughters of the Moon Complete Series 13 Books (Volume 1-13). I loved them. I read them a couple of years ago and they fascinated me!


Update on Progress:
  I'm half way through my first book. I'm hurrying as fast as I can.

Once Upon A Read-A-Thon

Once Upon a Read-A-Thon last from July 11-July 13. I didn't start last night because I was really sick. I got up early this morning and read the last couple of page in Vampire Academy. I'm not counting that book in this challenge because I started it awhile ago. I will review that book shortly.
I'm not quite sure what books I'm going to read in this challenge. I have so many on my TBR pile. I'll try to update after each book. I'm sure I'm not going to get through a lot. I've had stuff randomly popping up that I have to do. Ah well I'll try my best and keep ya updated!


+Update+ If you really want to know what I'm reading then check out my Goodreads. It will be the most updated. I've decided to read Twisted (Fearless #4).
Good luck to everyone!

Peronally Saturdays

I've been researching and thinking this week about something special I could do on my blog, that no one else really does. I thought and thought, but just couldn't think of anything. This past Thursday I decided to clean and rearrange my room. I just can't stand coming into my room and it looks the same day after day. So every couple of months I get into this cleaning-arranging-spree. I think it runs in my family. I noticed that my mom and aunt does it. I was also informed that my grandmother, who passed away when I was small, did the same thing as I do. Anyways, while I was cleaning I found this old journal that I haven't written in years. Some of you may have heard of the Me Journals. It's a little different then journals that I usually have. One every page of this one is several questions then on the back is a blank page where you can make notes. This old journal is what gave me the inspiration on Personally Saturdays.

I'm going to use some of the questions on the journal page, but I'm also going to put my own little "spark" in it. It's basically an update of whats going on in my life. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I will.
Here it goes!

Date: July 9, 2011                                                                                              Time: 12:30 pm

What was the weather like this week?

     It was extremely hot! We had a few thunderstorms at night, but it was still scorching in the day. I was really wishing I had a pool this week!

New & Events with family and friends:

    My Aunt and that side of my family returned from Florida. My great-grandmother passed away last week. I didn't attend the funeral services because I had never met her. See I'm adopted by my great-uncle and great-aunt. I don't really know anything about my biological father's side of the family. I'm just recently getting to know them. I was suppose to go hang out with my Aunt today, but I didn't get up til 3 pm. I just haven't felt good today. I'm hoping to see her tomorrow!

I am excited about:

     They are quite a few things I'm excited about. One thing is Once Upon a Read-A-Thon. I hope I get to make a dent in my TBR pile. Another thing I'm excited about is I received a letter from my new college telling me my dorm room and my roommate's name. I found out that my dorm room is in the brand new dorms that they are opening up this fall. So I can take a shower in my room without worrying about catching something. If you had seen the last college I was at, you would understand why I'm so excited to have a clean dorm. The past college I went to, had disgusting dorms and bathrooms. I'm so ready to start this college. I can't believe me of all people is wanting to start school! I'm sure after a week or so after starting I'll probably be wishing for a break.

I am concerned about:

    I'm concerned that my new roommate and I won't like each other. So far in my dorm-life I've had pretty cool roommates. Another thing I'm concerned about is having really hard classes. 

New music:

   I got a couple of songs this week. 

   1. Lost 

        - Avenged Sevenfold

   2. Video Killed the Radio Star

       - Amber Pacific

   3. Scream

       - Avenged Sevenfold

   4. Too Close

       - Next

   5. Dying

       - Stone Sour

Did you win any contest?

   Actually I won two contest this week. Which is a miracle because I hardly win anything! I won a signed copy of Burning Skies from Bitten by Paranormal Romance. I'm excited to receive it! Then I also won the Freedom Hop on The Wormhole blog. I got to choose between a couple of books by Leanore Elliott. I chose the Soul Trilogy.

Did you buy anything this week?

  Believe it or not I didn't buy anything this week. I'm trying to save up money to have while I'm at school.

Books you started/finish:

   I finished My Blood Approves. I started Vampire Academy Signature Edition: A Vampire Academy Novel. 

Goals/Ideas for a better tomorrow:

  Make more time for reading. Take more time out to tend to the blog. I think I'm going to try to read 5 books in the Read-A-Thon. Ahhh wish me luck. I would really like to finish Vampire Academy today!
