It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (4)

This is a great weekly event where everyone can keep track of the books finished last week & the books planning to read this week!

Last Week I Read:

These past two weeks I have read about 50 pages from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. My reading pace has continued to go down hill, but I am hoping once I get back into the groove of my college classes I can get a routine down, that would include time for reading, running in the morning, going to class, homework, the clubs on campuse I joined, and watching the tv shows that I'm addicted to! 

This Week I Plan To Read:

I am definitely try to finish The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and hopefully start on Misfit by Jon Skovron! So that is my plan for the week, I am going to have to fit it around the three essays that I have due and some of the other reading but I think that it is definitely doable!

Top Ten and Teaser Tuesday (4)

Top Ten Book Crushes

This week is a freebie week and we could post about anything and I didn't get to do the top ten book crushes one and so I decided to do it this week :)

1. Wes from The Truth About Forever

Oh my gosh major Sa-woon! Every since time, it never fails! Somebody please find someone like Wes and send him my way please!!

2. Jace from The Mortal Instruments Series

I absolutely love how witty he is and just him in general :)

3. Peeta from The Hunger Games Trilogy

Who says the nice guys never win?? Not that Gale isn't but Peeta is the epitome of a nice guy.

4. Zane from the Uglies Series

I haven't read this series in a while so I can't name why i love him off the top of my head, I just remember that I LOVED Zane!

5. Finnick from The Hunger Games Trilogy

He was such a sweetheart underneath his cocky exterior and it broke my heart when he died in Mockinjay! I literally just sat there and cried for about 5 minutes :(

6. Jack/Seph/Jason from the Heir Series

I can't choose just one!! I love all of her main male protagonist characters from those three books! The each have something amazing about them.

Jack- he's simple, down to earth, and does what's right

Seph- he's exotic, fluent in french, and much more

Jason- the classic bad boy with a heart ;)

7. Fred or George from Harry Potter

I'm a sucker for any guy who can make me laugh!

8. Fang from the Maximum Ride Series

I've always been a Fang fan!

9. Noah from The Notebook

Who can read this book and not fall in love with Noah?

10. Ethan from Burned

It's been a while since I've read this book as well but I remember crushing on Ethan big time!

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read, open to a random page, and share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

My Teaser: 

"I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, almost as an afterthought. There is a way to be good again."

-pg. 2 "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini

Slow reading pace once again! :( I'm only on page 59 and I start school tomorrow but I can do this!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (3)

This is a great weekly event where everyone can keep track of the books finished last week & the books planning to read this week!

This Week I Read:

This last week I managed to finish reading Tris and Izzie by Mette Ivie Harrison. So my reading pace has picked up a bit but it's still not up to what it normal is. My friend finally told us a for sure date to when he is moving and that is the 19th. Now you may think that would make my reading pace go back to it's normal pace but I have my doubts because school starts back for me on the 17th and I also need to find a job relatively soon as well. However, I still have faith that I will be able to schedule reading time around: school, a job, daily exercise (I run/swim), and household responsibilities (my parents are making me commute this semester since I transferred schools), as well as a club or two that I join on campus *fingers crossed* that I'm able to do it. I'm probably not going to be posting my review for this book until about late September/early October since it come out on the 11th. It's not a particularly good review but if you can get it for free then I would so that you can form you own opinion of the book because it was a really easy read, though really frustrating.

This coming week I plan to read:

I'm definitely going to finish reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and maybe get part of the way through Misfit by Jon Skovron. I threw in Dark Territory by J. Gabriel Gates and Charlene Keel as an optimistic addition to my reading week. 

So those are my goals for this week hopefully I can finish The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and start on Misfit by Jon Skovron but it's going to take some serious work since I have a dinner with my other friend's family (they are basically mine and my friend, who is moving, second family), my birthday party (I turned 20 on the 6th), my friend who is moving going away party, and helping my friend (the one who's family I'm eating dinner with) move into her dorm.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (2)

This is a great weekly event where everyone can keep track of the books finished last week & the books planning to read this week!

This week I read:

In the last two weeks I have only managed to read the remaining 220 pages that I had left in City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare. I'm not usually such a slow reader but one of my best friends is moving 12 hours away (Pennsylvania) in about 3ish weeks! :( Which is super sad and I'm trying to spend as much time hanging out with him and our group of friends as much as possible! I'm not going to be reading much because we're trying to cram as much stuff in as possible: I have church for the next 3 Wednesdays, my birthday in 5 days, my birthday party in in 10 days, his going away party in 11 days, and school starts back in 16 days (blah!); and that is only the planned set in stone stuff because I'm sure I'm going to be seeing my friends a lot more (last week = 5 days). So yeah that is my explanation for my super slow reading pace.

This coming week I plan to read:

 

I am hoping to make considerable progress on Tris and Izzie by Mette Ivie Harrison  (I'm 16 pages in now) and if I some how miraculously finish this book then I am hoping to start on the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini!

So those are my goals for this coming up week which I may be able to accomplish since my friend, who is moving, is up in PA sorting out stuff for school until Wednesday and I already warned my other friend that I might disappear until then so *fingers crossed* :)! I am also going to try and post my review for It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han and City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare so look for those as well.
