Amethyst Books

I am planning to start my weekend reading today at noon CST. I do have work tonight, tomorrow and Sunday but I am going to set a timer and aim to read a total of 24 hours over the course of the weekend ending at midnight on Sunday night.  I have had a couple of wonky weeks, been ill, had a back injury that made it rough moving in any way, and a little dash of depression. I am working my way through it and back to "normal" and wanting to catch up on my reading goals.  So what am I reading or at least trying hard to read?  I am not sure I am mentally ready for that last one, I've heard....things about it but I'm gonna give it a shot. I may switch and swap something up but yeah, starting soon I will have a timer and will aim for 24 total hours from Noon today until Midnight Sunday.  I may update as I go, I may just do a post on Monday letting you all know what I did, or how I did.  What are you reading this weekend? 

  So I am planning on reading as much as I can this week. I gave myself January to basic "eff around and find out" and not really jump on any kind of "DO ALL THE THINGS" scheduling, starting new things, etc., thoughts but it's a new month and I gotta get things done! I'm way behind on my school work (Vet Tech Program) and have been a lazy tub of goo on working out and getting healthy, and of course I want to keep up with my reading progress because that has been amazeballs!  So this week here's what I'm gonna read: I am participating in a month long readathon, so this has put a little flamey flame under my booty to keep on the ball with my reading!  I have finished Legendborn by Tracy Deonn and loved it, so I'm reading the sequel Bloodmarked and plan on combing the two books in my review post.  And here we go! 

  I am joining in on the fun this month! I don't know if I can swing the 24hr readathon, but I might! I am going to aim for 5 books this month, and I won't count Legendborn in this total as I'm just about to finish it.  Won't you join in on the funsies? 

  This week I have a couple of great books on my TBR. I'm right on track on my reading goal for this year so I'm feeling good about my momentum!  These are my choices for this week! I have work and a lot of school work to catch up on but both seem to be pretty binge-able books!  What are you reading this week? 

 I really wasn't sure I was going to like this one, even after getting into it. I remarked to my partner how this book was a lot of politics and religion with a sprinkle of fantasy elements mixed in. I think it was about 75% world building and the rest was the action-y stuffs. I DID care about the characters and felt that they were all very well written. There were times where the story seemed to drag a bit, BUT after finishing the book I realized that those draggy parts were super important especially to take the reader (and the characters) straight to the conclusion. This was apparently Sanderon's first book, and it does show a bit. The writing is wonderful, but there were, as previously mentioned, a few parts where I as the reader was like.."Just get to the point!" However, in my opinion the slog through those bits were well worth it! The characters were all nicely fleshed out. My only irk with that aspect was the character of Adien, he comes through near the end a...

  I am pledging to read as much as I can this weekend! I've done all the things (minus my work shifts and spending time with my sweetie) and now I will read read read!  I am hoping to finish Elantris and get a really good start (if not finish) into something else! I am not behind behind on my goal yet...but I do want to not fail it.  I have snacks, I have coffee, tea and energy dranks that will help me fuel my reading sprints. I will keep a log of what I read (pages, time, etc) First up:  Elantris starting page: 203 out of 535 ^*totes accurate representation of me this weekend* I finished Elantris, read about 10 hours total all weekend (in fits and starts) and am pleased! 

 So I did absolutely abysmal in the reading (and pretty much everything else) department last week. I did read some but I didn't finish a single book. So I will continue plowing through Elantris and hopefully will finish it up and get caught up.  So it looks like this:    Finish This One Potentials:
