Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon Wrap-Up

I did pretty well this read-a-thon! Here's what I read:

* The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (reviewed)
* The Queen is Dead by Kate Locke (reviewed)
* White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi (gave up on at about page 150)
* The Shining by Stephen King
* Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters
* American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (still reading at page 180)

This was super fun and really motivated me to read this month. I enjoyed just about all of them and reviews for the The Shining, Bedbugs, and American Psycho should be up this month.

Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon Progress

I've now read over half of the books I listed for the read-a-thon! Here is my progress so far:

* 10/13 - finished The Evolution of Mara Dyer (reviewed)

* 10/14 - started and finished The Queen is Dead

* 10/15 - started White is for Witching

* 10/16 - gave up on White is for Witching after 150 pages, started The Shining

4 more days! It isn't to late to sign up if you want to get in more spooky reads.

Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon

More spooky read-a-thons! I need to be motivated to read more spooky reads, so I am participating in yet another read-a-thon. This one is called Wonderfully Wicked Read-a-thon and is run by My Shelf Confessions. It runs from Octover 11th to October 20th and has some fun challenges to participate in. Here are the books I am planning to read:

* The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
* The Queen is Dead by Kate Locke
* White is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi
* The Shining by Stephen King
* Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters
* American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

I hope to read all these by the end of October even if I don't ready them all by the 20th. What spooky reads do you want to read this month?

Ultimate Reviewer's Reading Challenge

I have decided to the Ultimate Reviewer's Reading Challenge this next month because I have a read, but not reviewed a lot of books this summer. The to review pile is getting very high and I still have more to do to prepare for September Zombies. Here are books I hope to review over the next month:

1) Pariah by Bob Fingerman
2) Blackout by Mira Grant
3) A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin
4) Plague Town by Dana Fredsti
5) Dearly Beloved by Lia Habel
6) Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
7) Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

plus whatever I read during this next month. Wish me luck!
