Hi. This is my updates post. See my goals post HERE. I'll update this everyday with my progress :)The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books team

DeleteMy Little Pony is adorable. I didn't know there was a comic book for the show. I may have to pick that up.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rest of the read-a-thon.
Yeah and it's awesome! :rainbow my review will post later this week :)
DeleteI also really want to go to BEA, it seems amazing. I hope I can go one day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations with your progress so far!
Thnx Lauren!! :P
DeleteI was looking at your spine poetry, and Evermore was excellent. I have the next 2 books sitting here waiting for me.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it! I hear a lot of fuss about her as an author. I just bought her other series, Fated yesterday on sale. I heard it's better than the Evermore series...? :D
