Happy Monday y’all! I’m so excited to be participating in Because Reading‘s #COYER challenge. This was the first reading challenge I ever joined back when I was still a baby blogger in 2014. This challenge is more than just cleaning out your e-reader, it’s a way to meet and interact with other bloggers which while […]
It’s my favorite day of the year….reading challenge day ๐ I totally just made that up! But today is the day that I sign up for this year’s reading challenges. Last year I scaled way back on the number of challenges I participated in. This year I’ve decided to add a few back and a […]
It’s here….the final update to 2019’s reading challenges. This year I challenged myself in five different challenges. All overlapped and related in one way or another. I’m proud to say that I completed 4 of the 5 challenges. That’s my personal best record y’all! While I didn’t read as many books as I have in […]
We are in the home stretch of 2019! It seems like only yesterday I was making my signup posts for this year’s challenges. This quarter is always busy as two of the three months are spent with back to school activities, birthdays, and school fundraisers. Honestly I’m exhausted even thinking about it. I managed to […]
We have hit the half way mark for 2019! It doesn’t seem real to me how fast the year flies by. As a good friend always says about this season of life: “The days are long, but the years are short.” It is SO true! My reading mojo seems to be back, and I’m hoping […]
2019 is flying by! How is it already time for the 1st quarter update?! Before you know it will be Summer and then Christmas again and I’ll be writing the final update ๐ So far 2019 has been better than 2018. No sickness, no seizures, just lots of rain and a stubborn dog. Despite that […]
In 2015 I discovered my love of reading challenges through a little challenge called #COYER. I fell in love and became a bit addicted. In 2016, I participated in my first year long challenges. I didnโt do so well, completing only half of those I signed up for. In 2017, I had this grand plan. […]
Well, 2018 is over and I’m kinda ashamed to give this final update. I didn’t do so hot. In fact, I bombed a couple of these challenges. My Goodreads challenge included ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ I read 87 books this year, the lowest number since I started blogging. It was a rough year. Here’s hoping 2019 is better. […]
Lillian: Y’all I’m still struggling with the fact that it is November already. Where has 2018 gone?! This is a busy month, but one I always look forward too. Why? Well Thanksgiving of course ๐ But also two of my favorite things happen in November: the HoHoHo Read-A-Thon AND Can You Read a Series in […]
I cannot believe that the first quarter of 2018 is already coming to a close!! It just doesn’t seem possible. I can’t say, however, that I’m sad to see it go. The 1st quarter has been rough for us! Flu, strep throat, medical emergencies….to put it in perspective my husband has met his deductible for […]
