Challenge Updates – August

Challenge Updates – August

WOW, August definitely flew by fast! I can’t believe we’ve already started the first month of fall, even if I’m really happy to finally have some cooler weather! I have continued to do quite well in most of my challenges, and as usual, I have one post for all – I don’t want to spam people with several posts about all those challenges. 2015 Reading Assignment Challenge Update – August For the Reading Assignment Challenge, I challenged myself to read 48 books – four each month – of books I’ve had on my kindle for a while. This is the only challenge where I have decided in advance which books I will read this year, and so, now it’s starting […]

Challenge Update – July

If you follow my blog, you know I participate in several challenges, and sadly, I forgot to do an update post for June… I’m not forgetting for July, though, so here we go! 2015 Reading Assignment Challenge Update – July For the Reading Assignment Challenge, I challenged myself to read 48 books – four each month – of books I’ve had on my kindle for a while.

For the most time, I have to say I’m doing pretty well, but I do need to get better in some cases.  2015 New Release Challenge This is a challenge I’m pretty much rocking – thanks to the fact that I have received and read many e-galleys from both Netgalley and Edelweiss. Here’s a list of New Releases I read and reviewed in May: Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury Review: With a Twist – Sawyer Bennett Review: Can’t Resist a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly Review: Nowhere […]

COYER Summer Challenge 2015 Scavenger Hunt sign-up

COYER Summer Challenge 2015 Scavenger Hunt sign-up

  COYER Summer Challenge 2015 Scavenger Hunt It’s time to sign up and prepare for yet another fantastic COYER Summer Challenge, everybody. For the summer challenge, running from June 20 through September 4, the wonderful Michelle @ Because Reading, Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews, Oh My! and Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun have mixed things up to keep it interesting. For the summer of 2015, the COYER challenge is two-fold, first of all, we can aim to read as many books as possible, and they don’t have to be e-books, but we do have to own them, so no library books possible. Then, to spice things up, there will be a scavenger hunt as well, and that is really […]

2015 Audiobook Challenge – 1Q Update

2015 Audiobook Challenge – 1Q Update

2015 Audiobook Challenge – 1Q Update The 2015 Audiobook Challenge is hosted by Loupe @ Hot Listens and Jennifer @ The Book Nympho, and I’m very happy to be participating this year, even if I’m behind on my goal. Hopefully, I’ll make up for it before too much time passes. I have added several more audiobooks to my library, so all I need to do now is to sit down (or walk around – which is an added bonus!) and listen to some of them. I am currently listening to Stacia Kane’s Unholy Magic, I’ve already read the story, and loved it, and the narrator is simply amazing. Since I’m new to audiobooks, I am going with a quite low […]

#COYER – It is the End…

#COYER – It is the End…

COYER Winter Challenge 2014-2015 I can’t believe how fast this COYER challenge has gone by! When I signed up in November last year, March of 2015 seemed quite far away, if you know what I mean! Reading freebies and cheap e-books or audio-books is always great, and the community Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun, Michelle @ Because Reading and Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews Oh My! have created for the participants is amazing! Hanging out together in our special Facebook group, and having several mini-challenges and read-a-thons has made this edition of the COYER challenge even better than the past editions 🙂 And at the time I’m writing this post, there are 594 reviews that have been linked to […]

2015 Challenges – Update Post #2

2015 Challenges – Update Post #2

I am participating in several challenges for 2015, and instead of doing one update post per challenge, I am just including them all in one post right here. 2015 Challenges Update Post #2 The 2015 New Release Challenge is hosted by myself and Stormi @ Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My! We both read ARCs, and there are also books just being released this year that we are incapable of resisting, so motivating ourselves and each other to read and review new releases seemed like a great idea to us. Because I read over 140 books released in 2014 last year, I am aiming for 75 for this year. Here are the books I’ve read so far for the 2015 New […]
