2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge Wrap Up

2012 Wrap-Up and Goals for 2013

So this year I participated in 2 year-long challenges:  The TBR Pile Reading Challenge and the A-Z Book Challenge.  Both of which I completed!!!  The TBR pile should have been easy, yet as I got new books, those sounded better than the ones I’d already had sitting on my shelves, even though I’d been so […]

2013 TBR Pile Reading Challenge

So, I’m participating once again in this, this challenge which is being sponsored by Evie @ Bookish.  I did finish all  my goal last year by May, but I was bad about linking up my reviews.  I’ve got to go find out if I can link up those I didn’t do earlier for this final month.  But […]

The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch

I had this sitting in my classroom since last October when our school had its bookfair and I was able to get a hard cover copy for only $8.99!  But it’s like I forgot it was there.  I pulled it out about a month ago when I was doing some cleaning in my classroom, and […]

Dark Souls by Paula Morris

Dark Souls by Paula Morris My rating: 4 of 5 stars I got this book from our school book fair last October. Then I put it in a cabinet at school because I used to keep a book to read at school. Well, mostly this year I’ve been bringing the actual book I’ve been reading […]

Ascend (Trylle Trilogy #3) by Amanda Hocking

Ascend by Amanda Hocking My rating: 4 of 5 stars Again I got this as a great deal as an e-book before they were being published.  This will be published and available in a hard copy next Tuesday! Once again I was not disappointed. This book had romance, suspense, and even some new mythology about […]

Dark Eden by Patrick Carman

Now I have been waiting to read this one for what seems like forever.  Since I got to meet Patrick Carman last fall, and then the book didn’t come out till November, then I didn’t have the money at the time to buy it.  So it actually is part of my TBR challenge since I’ve […]
