Series Ender Challenge

I realized that I read a Series Ender awhile back, but had forgotten to post it.  I also just finished one!  So, here they are:

• United We Spy by Ally Carter
• Urchin and the Rage Tide by M.I. McAllister

 And I know this probably won't count, but I did read the last Knuffle Bunny book in June (I think).  Yes, it's a picture book, but it is a Series Ender!  :p  Just in case...

Updates on book challenges!

Lots of book related stuff has been happening, but I've been keeping quiet about it.  Not on purpose, really!  It's just that I've been so busy...  So, here's the news!

At the beginning of the year, I joined the Goodreads 2014 Reading Challenge and chose 750 books for the year.  I'm happy to say that I am WAY ahead of schedule. :)  I met my 750 goal on August 19 with Saints by Gene Luen Yang.  The fun part is seeing how many books I will actually finish by the end of the year!

I reached my reading goal so quickly this year because I have been reading a lot of picture books, especially since I moved to Moscow, ID.  Specifically, I found that the independent bookstore in town has many of the Mr. Men and Little Miss books that I've always wanted to read and that the local library has a bunch of the Serendipity books that I've been trying to read.  :)  I am working towards reading every book in both of those series.  Additionally, I read all of the little Beatrix Potter books this summer (all 23!).  :)

I am still working on the Series Ender challenge, but I just haven't finished any lately.  I am working on it though, and will have one shortly!

I am also trying to work more on reading my own books instead of taking so many out from the library.  I put a dent in them in the month I was here in ID before I started work, but things have slowed down a bit.  I'd like to get through a good chunk while I'm here so that I can get rid of the ones that I don't like so much and have fewer books to move!

So, that's the news.  Yay, books!  Yay, reading!

Final Summer Reading post for Branigan Library

Well, I officially moved to Idaho last week, so I completed my final summer reading programs for Branigan Library in Las Cruces.

I had to read a book by an author who is deceased, so I read:

• I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

My next task was to read a humorous fiction book, and while I started the book in Las Cruces, I didn't finish it until after I moved to Idaho.  But it was:

• Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett

I wish there was an adult summer reading program here, but there isn't. :(  Oh, well.  I'll have to find another reading challenge (besides the Series Ender challenge!).

More Summer Reading Program

Okay!  I had to read a book with a one word title.  I read...

• Undone by Cat Clarke

Interesting book...very unsettling and sad ending.

Next I had to read a book whose title started with an S, J, or A (Summer, June, July, or August). :)  I read...

• Sparks by Laura Bickle

I wish Laura Bickle would write another book about Anya and Sparky.  This is the second one.  I want more! :)

My new task is to read a book by an author who is deceased.  I'm going with Isaac Asimov for this one...I'll let you know when I'm done! ;)

Literary Elements Summer Reading Program

Okay, so there was a little mess up with my first summer reading task.  But I got back on track and finished the task today!

Turned out that I had to read a humorous book for my first task, so I read Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler.  Honestly, I didn't find it very funny, but it was a humor book.

My next task is reading a book with a one word title.  YAY!  This is an easy one.  ;)

Summer Reading Program!!!

There's a new summer reading program at Branigan Library!  I won't be in Las Cruces all summer, but I'm going to give it a go while I'm here. :)

The program is called "Elements of Reading" and it's set up like a game.  You choose tiles that tell you what to read and move around a game board.  FUN!

My first element tile is to read a book from between call numbers 100-199.

You know those little memes (or whatever they are) that go around every once in awhile on Facebook where they ask you to report the first full sentence on a certain page of the closest book to you?  I love those things!  I find them so much fun.

So I thought...why not do it in my blog for the books that I'm reading?  That sounds like lots of geeky fun to me! :)  I'm going to do it!  I won't post every day, but I'll do it every once in awhile.  Here's the first installment!

I will look at the first full sentence on page 42.

"The truck fishtailed on the thankfully empty gravel parking area as I slammed on the brakes, bringing us to a shuddering halt."
--from Cupid Cats by Katie MacAlister, Vicki Lewis Thompson, & Connie Brockway

"By the time I drag myself down to breakfast--feeling as though someone is grinding sand into both of my eyes--the official story about the incident at the labs has been released."
--from Delirium by Lauren Oliver

"I only passed by a few points and my parents gave me a big lecture when I got my scores back."
--from The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppett by Tom Angleberger

""Why don't you just tell me that you had a suspicion something was wrong and went out to patrol under your own initiative?""
--from Kitty in the Underworld by Carrie Vaughn

See?  Isn't this fun?
