COYER and other challenge updates:
I have reviewed quite a few COYER books so far, you can find a list on my COYER Challenge page. So far, I have read 17 books for COYER, well, almost – one was a DNF.
I have also started to make a dent in both my LGBT 2015 Challenge and in my 2015 TBR Pile Challenge. And for my 2015 Bookish Resolution Challenge, I can report that I have read quite a few of the books I already own, and also that I have not had a cigarette since Monday afternoon!
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere:
Brandee @ Bookworm Brandee shares her whole family’s theme songs for January in her When Life’s Kicking Your Butt, How About a Theme Song? post.
Braine of Talk Supe shares her Gush & Gripe for the new year.
Kimba @ Caffeinated Reviewer has a great post about Cleaning up and Refreshing.
What have you been up to this past week? Don’t forget to leave me a link so I can come visit your Sunday Post as well.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend, and that next week will be filled with awesome!
Good going on the resolutions Lexxie! (And on reading so many COYER books!)
Thanks Laura 🙂 I have my pesky shelves on Goodreads, so I know which books can count towards both COYER and other challenges I participate in 🙂

Great job on the no smoking. Also on the challenges, you are marching right through them all.
It’s the early days yet for the smoking… I hope I’ll be able to keep staying away from cigarettes once my classes start again!
Oh my, you look so efficient, it makes me ashamed ! But with your schedule, I guess it’s a given that you have to be organized, I hope I’ll catch your bug 😉 Have a great week, Lexxie :-*
Don’t forget that I also don’t have classes these days, Iza 🙂 And I have all my shelves on Goodreads to make sure I read my challenge books, which really helps.
Congrats on the not smoking. That’s a really tough one.
I need to start updating my challenges. I’ve read and reviewed some books, just need to add them to the pages. Good luck with yours!
It hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be, Laura, but I haven’t been to class yet this year…
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow! You’ve had a productive week! Congrats on your COYER success and not having a cigarette for a week! My brother-in-law has been trying for years to quit but he always ends up going back. Have a great week!
Yeah, I know it’s not over yet when it comes to smoking… I have to stay vigilant!
Thanks for stopping by, Katherine 🙂

You can totally do this, I am two years smoke free, it’s not easy but you can do it I know you can. Just think of how healthy you already are by just stopping for these 6 days.
You guys are killing COYER I am so happy, the review linky is already past 120 reviews that’s amazing! So proud of you all 🙂
Have a wonderful week Lexxie! oxox
I know I can do it, Michelle. I have to stay strong! I had stopped smoking for almost ten years when I started Uni again… and of course, I was drawn to all the smokers 🙁
WOW, over 120 COYER reviews already is really amazing! I’m having a lot of fun with COYER, I have so many books to choose from, so that really helps.
Happy reading, Michelle.
HOW EXCELLENT! I love that you quit smoking. Yay!! You’re going to have so much more money for BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope I’ll be able to continue to quite smoking when Uni starts again! Thanks for stopping by, Steph 🙂
I am sort of unofficially trying to read from my e-reader…Sparky. There are so many “out of sight” books there. I made a handwritten list so I could see the titles and cross them off.
I enjoyed Kimba’s Clean Up and Refresh Post, as Bloggiesta is coming next weekend.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
LOL I would really love to know which ‘out of sight’ books Sparky is helping you hide, Laurel-Rain 🙂 I hope you’re enjoying all those hidden gems 🙂

You are rocking Coyer. Congrats on quitting that takes guts and determination. I hope your week is truly amazing my friend!
Thank you Kim! I hope I’ll be able to continue being a quitter when it comes to smoking 😀

Wow 17 books! Go Lexxie! I’m not even close to that, but I’m happy with what I’ve managed to read. I missed your Up Close and (Un)Conventional post – but I’m super curious! Hope you’re having a great weekend 🙂
I have read a lot of novellas, Berls, so that’s why there are so many books – even if I have hardly read anything at all compared to Angie and Laura 🙂
Have a great week!
You’re doing great on COYER- 17 books, wow. I haven’t even done one yet- sad I know. I just read hard copy books so much… but I do have one waiting on my Nook. LOL. Hope you have a great week. Nice post on freedom- it’s just so ridiculous these thig keep happening.
I have almost only e-books, Greg, and on top of that, I’m a notorious one-clicker 🙂 I think I have about 300 books to choose from, so it’s really not hard to just read right now.
Have a great week.
I’ve only managed to read one book for COYER so far but it was a good one so that’s a plus! I’m working on my 2nd one now. I would love to knock out 17 books off of my TBR list and off of my e-reader! Have a great week! Happy reading!
Reading a good book is more important than reading a COYER book, Samantha 🙂

Way to go on the no smoking! Keep up the good work and have a great week!
Stormi
Yeah, I need to stay strong, Stormi 🙂 Happy reading.
Wow! Sounds like you’re doing fantastic 🙂
Good job with quitting smoking, I used to smoke almost 2 packs a day until 2 years a go..ouch! I quit with the electronic cigarette (vaping), but unfortunately I haven’t been able to quick that, although I’ve been down to 0 nicotine for over year.
Most of luck with that! I really hope you succeed 🙂
I went cold turkey, Loupe, I didn’t want to switch one addiction for another, we’ll see if I can make it 🙂
Have a great week and happy reading.
Great week you had! I really need to get up on my challenges! Here’s my Sunday Post:

My challenges actually update automatically thanks to Nose Graze and an amazing plugin Ashley made 🙂
Happy reading Ronyell.
Oh! Congrats on the not smoking part. I tried, but failed. Haha! I’m also trying to clear my unread books off the shelves so I’m on a No New Books For Now challenge. 😀 Hope this week will be nothing but amazing for you!
WeeklyWrap@EverythingNyze
Thanks Nyze, I hope I’ll be able to continue.
I think it’s a good idea to do a no new books for now challenge! I have so many books I need to read, too, but I’m incapable of resisting new books.
I’m so proud of how well you’re doing with your challenges, Lexxie! I hope you’re proud of yourself! 😉 And thank you for the mention. You’re going to have to share some of your music choices…I know you listen to Lenny Kravitz. *sigh* But that way we can both sing with each other in May! 😉 **BIG HUGS**
Oh, music is already shared 🙂 You know I can’t resist the fun memes, right?
I am quite happy with how well I’m doing in my various challenges, I have to hurry up with the HW challenge, though, I’ve only read two books, and I have signed up for four per month.
Happy reading, Brandee. *BIG HUGS*
I seriously find it so incredible how you manage to review a book a day! Have a wonderful week Lexxie 🙂
Great job on the COYER books! I have to many to count, I guess I should look into that challenge. I’m lucky if I reached 17 in total for last year. But this is great motivation.
