Weekly Wrap Up #1

Hello ladies and gentlemen! So, I'm going to start posting weekly updates, just letting you know what all I've been reading throughout the week. It's very informal, nothing to beat yourself up over, and, for me at least, just a way to knock down my TBR and even track how much I read in a week.

The idea came from Samantha over at The Book Corner. Here's a link to her first weekly wrap up! Be sure to check her out, as her post better explains the main idea of things.(Plus she's pretty cool!)

Okay, so since this week was pretty busy, I'm just going to give you a cumulative update. I'll try to break things up by day starting next week, but until then, here's what I read in total for this week!

Books finished: The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne
                            Every You, Every Me by David Levithan
                            Cut by Patricia McCormick

Books started: Flyte by Angie Sage
                           I Am the Cheese by Robert Cormier

Total pages read: 623

I'm actually pretty happy with this, considering I haven't had time to read the last few days. Hopefully this week will be better though!

Also, here are a couple other bloggers participating in weekly wrap ups:

Summer of Series: Updated

For some stupid reason, I had it in my head that this summer I would marathon a bunch of series' and trilogies and such, but, obviously, that isn't how things are working out at all. So, I've got to renew my 'rules' of the SoS. Here's what's up-

I'm going to attempt to finish at least one series per month, or two trilogies, while also reading one or two stand-alone novels, hopefully effectively knocking my TBR pile down by time September rolls around (this assuming I don't keep buying books...).

This is a much more realistic plan for me, allowing me to attempt to get through some of the series, while also not limiting my reading choices to the same worlds and characters the entire summer.

I'm currently still working on The Hangman's Daughter series, but I've also picked up the Septimus Heap series as well because I was craving Septimus. I think I'll also try to read The Secret History, although that book might rollover into next month. I don't know yet.

Okay, so this is my updated SoS. Less stress, more read, and, most importantly, more fun!!! Stay tuned for more updates guys1

Until next time,

Bout of Books 10.0 Day 4 Update

I think I've tired myself out reading wise, which is why today I really didn't get much read at all. I did manage a few pages though, which is better than none, so I can't be too disappointed. Hopefully I'll be back on track tomorrow!

Read 10 pages of Flyte by Angie Sage

Total pages read today- 10

Total pages read this week- 837

Until next time,

Bout of Books 10.0 Day 3 Update

Even though I spent half the day out and about, I did manage to finish two books and start a third, which, in my mind, is a pretty huge success!

Finished The Darke Toad by Angie Sage- 96 pages read

Started Flyte by Angie Sage- 11 pages read

Total pages read today -- 300

I'm going to work on Flyte and hopefully get through it today then maybe try to finish The Dark Monk before I go any further in the Septimus Heap series.

Until next time,
